Episode 105- Guilt is more exhausting than effort
Description
Ever found yourself stuck in the space between “I should do it” and “I don't want to”? That middle ground where you're not working, but not truly resting either is where guilt festers. And it's more exhausting than just doing the damn thing.
In this episode, I share a personal story from a recent weekend where I thought I was resting, but really, I was drowning in guilt. I break down what's actually going on when we delay action, why indecision is so draining, and how to use tools like the Dread Sprint and The Gritty Minute to get unstuck and feel more like yourself again.
You'll learn:
Why rest without peace isn't rest, it's self-abandonment
How to spot the energy drain of indecision
What a “dread sprint” is (and why it works)
The power of starting with just one gritty minute
Why your identity, not your schedule is what drives follow-through
Simple thought shifts to rebuild your self-trust
This one is mindset gold. If you've ever said, “I don't have time,” but secretly feel more tired not doing the thing… you're going to feel seen.
