We all have that tendency to go against our own better judgement when it comes to making decisions for our health - but why do we do it when we know there’s a better option there for us? The frustration it incurs! Not to mention the time wasted… and the guilt. It most certainly isn’t a lack of information available on how to be happy and healthy - that’s abundant. So, why is it that we often don’t actually do the things we know we should?We ask this and more with psychologist and coach, Dr Karen Doll. Karen practices what she preaches in supporting high performers with tools for psychological fitness. She asks the million dollar question - is it possible to be challenged, strive, achieve and grow without unnecessary anxiety and distress? Karen believes it absolutely is. The key? We have to be intentional about it. We dive into:⚖️ Sweet spot of energy and vitality without unnecessary anxiety and distress💗 You’re never the only one struggling🌎 “Not Enough” - a universal of human experience🎯Why we self-sabotage and challenging core beliefs💼📊Comparison, workaholism and successism - external to internal acceptance📱Smart phones for psychological fitness - generative or destructive?A big thought point for us was the following question and we’d love for you to explore it too and see how it applies in your own life.
