The Balanced Mind -Leaving the shoreline for something better

Loading player...
In this episode, we’re finally moving off the dry ground and getting our feet wet.
Most of us spend so much time looking at the "map" of a better life that we never actually start building the bridge to get there. We’ll explore why our brains prefer the safety of the river bank over the fear of the first step, and how to handle the anxiety that hits the moment you pick up the shovel.
It’s time to stop over-thinking and start doing, because your new life is waiting on the other side—and it won't build itself.
