MIND PITS


3 self-doubt mind pits:

  1. Failure to Launch (the knowing-doing trap), rumination and overthinking:

    • “What if I fail?”, “What if I’m underqualified?”, “What if I’ve missed something?”
  2. Treading Water (failing to finish what we start):

    • Hesitation, losing interest, seeking greener grass, getting bored.
  3. Destination Obsession: ​You set an exciting goal; put in the work & discipline to achieve it. Only to derive a short burst of pleasure, followed by a lack of fulfilment. So you immediately set the next goal.

    • Feeling like you’ve never done enough.
