In this episode, we talk about why we care soooo bloody much about what others think of us! A challenge I think most 20 and 30 somethings face on a regular basis, unfortunately.

There are so many detrimental effects that this fear of judgment can bring; including increased stress and anxiety, indecision, reduced self esteem, and it can massively hold us back from putting ourselves out there and trying new things.

Tune in to learn tips, tools and strategies to help you show up as your brilliant, authentic self and to help you care less about what other people think.

Like most other people in their 20’s & 30’s, I recently watched (and became a bit obsessed with), the Netflix series, One Day.

After finishing the series, I thought about it, a lot...I missed it, a lot. And while I was in one of my One-Daydreams, I started to think about how Emma & Dexter's journeys represent, so brilliantly, the ups and downs of our quarter lives….

So, because the show has been a HUGE hit with 20 & 30 somethings, AND because there are so many valuable quarter-life-lessons in the story, I thought, let’s get out the microphone!

This episode is for you, if you’re in need of some quarter-life inspiration via our friends Emma & Dexter.

If you haven’t seen One Day yet, (why not??), you probably want to go and watch it first before listening, or if you don’t have any intention to watch it (why not??), then still feel free to tune in and enjoy the lessons being shared.

Enjoy!

This week, we are talking about our Future Selves and how through visualizing the ideal version of ourselves a few years on from now, can be an incredibly helpful tool to gain clarity and direction.

Visualising your future self will be especially helpful to you; if you feel like you’re at a crossroads in life at the moment, if you’re feeling stuck in a rut, if you have some big decisions to make and you’re not sure how to make them, and if you’re bored and unfulfilled with your life right now.

In this episode, I walk you through how to create your own future self and teach you how to use this helpful tool to the common challenges our quarter lives throw at us.

Common symptoms of a Quarter Life Crisis (Quarter Life Confusion as I call it) are; lacking clarity, feeling stuck, feeling unfulfilled, feeling lost, feeling confused (obviously), feeling like life isn’t what you thought it would be…and an underlying common denominator among these symptoms is the sense that something is missing. This episode discusses the signs and symptoms that indicate that something is indeed missing from your life, and I share a proven, 5-Step Framework which will help you uncover the things that you are looking for.

Rejection is being given a no when we want a yes and it’s exclusion from something we want to be a part of. And if there’s one thing abut rejection that everybody knows…is that it hurts like hell!

FOMO (fear of missing out) is something which impacts all of us and it is especially prevalent in our 20’s & 30’s. This episode covers why we experience FOMO and I offer some helpful strategies that you can use to reduce the negative impact that fomo can bring.

Key Takeaways:

• As social creatures, we naturally feel discomfort when we are excluded from social situations and so the negative feelings that fomo brings are not new, but the intense level of which we are exposed to FOMO is relatively new and this is due to our extensive use of social media.
• Strategies to reduce the negative impact of FOMO are:
  • Reducing time spent on social media
  • Filling the time with either something which will make us feel happy, or something which will make us feel accomplished
  • When you’re stuck in a decision about whether to go to an event or not, make a list of all of the reasons for going and for not going and weigh them up against each other. Use your current goals and priorities to help you to guide your decision. Ask yourself ‘what will I regret more?’
  • Find inspiration in FOMO
  • Be happy for the people who are there

If you are feeling lost in your quarter life, this episode is for you! The first thing you need to know if you’re lacking direction and feeling quite confused about life at the moment is that what you’re experiencing is incredibly common, completely normal, and given the nature of our 20’s & 30’s and the shifts that happen during this time, it makes total sense. The other thing you need to know if you’re feeling lost is that it actually comes with some benefits which can have a huge positive impact on our lives

Key Takeaways:

• Two overarching explanations as to why we feel lost in our quarter lives: Change Happened / Change Wanted
• Switch your language from ‘I’m lost’ to ‘I’m exploring’ to help shift your mindset and your actions to be more positive & more proactive.
• Look at this stage of your life as a chapter in a very long and interesting book of your life - this chapter will end and it does not define who you are
• Don’t compare yourself to others, everyone os on their own journey and no one is ahead or behind anyone else
• Reduce the pressure to discover your passion & purpose
• Find direction in life by:
  • Trying new things & having new experiences regularly
  • Get specific on the area of your life which needs the most improvement
  • Future-Self exercise to visualize the discrepancies in your life at the moment and how you want it to be in 12 months time
  • Proactively seek inspiration - don’t wait for clarity and direction to come to you, you have to find it yourself.
