What causes the Sunday Scaries? It’s listening to Society’s lies regarding fitting in with the herd and taking the easy path in life. The comfortable path. For some reason, most humans take the path of least resistance without understanding the terrible outcomes it always produces. Listen to this short by Joe Rogan. He clearly explains what happens to so many of us in life. https://lnkd.in/eY6vuxet When we're young, we don't realize the time is NOW to take the harder path. When you're graduating from college, it's usually a time in life when you don't have a lot of responsibilities. Most likely, you don't have a spouse, a mortgage, or kids. You may have rent and a car payment, but you most likely have one of the best Plan B options: your childhood room at your parent’s house. You have a place to recover if things go sideways on the path I call Against the Grain. But all we can think about is keeping up with the Joneses and comparing salaries and job titles as we enter the workforce. Why? Because our world of excessive consumerism needs every worker bee it can develop to keep the machine of quarterly profits growing on the New York Stock Exchange. How do you eliminate the Sunday Scaries? You must break through the threshold of your comfort zone! Eliminating the Sunday Scaries starts with expanding what you’re comfortable being uncomfortable with. It’s on the other side of comfort where the deepest levels of achievement and fulfillment are found. Think about your everyday life. Think about skiing. When you started, the bunny slope was an incredible challenge. After a fair amount of practice, you probably became comfortable with the green or blue slopes. But one day, your friends talk you into trying a black diamond. It looks like you’re going to die, but you use the skills you have and slowly carve your way to the bottom without any broken bones. You’ve carved a new path, one you haven’t done before. Suddenly, your skill level jumps up, and black diamonds aren't so scary. The same can be applied to your career. Crossing the threshold of your comfort zone is about personal expansion. It’s about opening up to MORE. Please watch the following video and open your mind to being more uncomfortable. It’s the only way to crush the Sunday Scaries. https://lnkd.in/envUvNs3 If you know anyone graduating from High School or in the middle of their college education, please forward this email to them!
