They're trying to overcome the person who they think that they are. A lot of the time in January, they're beating themselves up, Chris. They're like, I'm not good enough. My stomach's not flat enough. I'm not enough. Let me beat myself up with my behaviours to overcome that. That works for a few weeks. It might work for a few months, but in my clinical experience, it never works in the long term.

At some point, that energy has to change where you actually quite like yourself. You're doing it not because you're trying to avoid something, but because you're trying to get towards something. Actually, I want to have a stronger body. I want to have a clearer mind. I feel that it's the way I can become a better human. I can be a better father when I look after myself.

And again, going back to your earlier question, Chris, what is it about me now at 47 where I feel this sense of calm? I think for me, becoming a father has been a huge part of that. My son is 14, so I've been a dad now for almost 15 years. And again, I want to acknowledge that. Not everyone needs to have a child to see this.

A lot of people are choosing not to have children for a variety of reasons. Hey, I'm okay with all of that. For me personally, it's been transformative. You know, suddenly having kids, you just can't be as me-focused anymore. You'd realize there's more to you than just you and your experience. There's other people who depend on you.

So going back to perfectionism, let me sort of connect the kids and me as a dad to my perfectionist tendencies. We look at these people, these heroes, we put them on pedestals. You'll have people, Chris, in your audience who are putting you on pedestals, who are putting you on a pedestal. They're like, oh my God, Chris is an amazing podcast host. They're too smart to put me on a pedestal.

But I reckon some will be, mate, right? And the reason why I think this is problematic, and I suspect you would agree with this, is because they're seeing one aspect of your life. They're seeing you on the mic. They're seeing your vlog when you're crushing it in Australia, right?

Unless you're showing this, and maybe I haven't seen this on your platforms, they're not seeing the mornings when you wake up absolutely shattered. When you think, I've got 12 podcasts to do in five days in London, why did I sign up for so many? What is the consequence on you, your well-being, your relationships from doing that? Now, I'm not here criticising or judging, I'm just simply saying...

If people want to be you, they can't have one aspect of you. They need the whole aspect. You can't just be 1% Chris Williamson. You have to be 100% Chris Williamson.
