Overcoming Limiting Beliefs | Chip Conley

I wanted to create a place where people can actually understand a new roadmap of life. We have midlife, which was originally 45 to 65, I think is now 35 to 75, because in certain industries, people feel at mid-30s, they're over the hill. And a lot of people are going to work till their mid-70s or later. And therefore, midlife is a marathon. And yet, if you're running the marathon with all of your past mindsets, identities, responsibilities, and stuff, you're running the marathon with all your baggage.

And what we have to do is create a great midlife edit that helps people to let go of that.

Okay, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais.

And by trade in training, I'm a sport and performance psychologist, as well as the co-founder of Compete to Create.

Now the whole idea behind this conversation is to learn from people who are on the path of mastery, who have dedicated their life efforts towards understanding both mastery of self and mastery of craft. And at the time of this recording, I've never experienced what we're experiencing nationally and certainly globally. And I'm going to have more thoughts on this later, but just a quick hit is that for the United States to be on a state of emergency, it's pretty radical. And I just want to put a note in there is that I know people are stressed.

I know that times are challenging.

And I know that also some people are like, what are you talking about? It's fine. I just want to put a note in here that I'm recognizing and feeling the amount of stress that some of us are under. And I just want to say, stay with it now. And I also want to say, I'm so happy that we're in it together and that we have a community of people that are like-minded and getting after it and have been down the path of understanding how to front load and work with one's mind to be able to manage high stress and high pressured environments because we're in it. This is a test. How well will you be able to manage the unfolding, unpredictable unknown?

Now, we just happen to have a collective consciousness right now about what's happening and it's an unfolding pace. Like it's an unprecedented pace where information is unfolding.

So I just want to take a moment before we dive into the wisdom of our guests today, just how much if you're struggling and you're lonely and you're isolated and it's or you're anxious and you're really struggling, stay connected. You know, get into the Finding Mastery tribe, you know, get into, you know, places where you can be heard and felt and be part of something.

And one of the inoculations to struggling is to help others. I just want to say this right now. You can have your purpose today. You can declare it. It's okay. You can make it up right now that your purpose is to be in the service of others.

It's not that hard. You can do it. It's not that hard to commit to it. It's actually quite hard to do. So I'm here for you, you know, in the best way that I can be from a distance and also just recognizing the challenging time that we're in. And the whole idea behind these conversations is so that we can learn and so that we can grow together. And we've all got these unique independent paths.

That's one of the reasons I love the Finding Mastery Tribe. If you're interested in it, if you're not part of it, punch over, check it out. You can go to www.findingmastery.net forward slash tribe, totally free. Just a community of thousands of us trying to sort it out together, you know, investigating how the mind works and how to get better at it. Finding Mastery is brought to you by Bubbs Naturals. Like many of you, I'm mindful about what I put in my body. For me, it usually comes down to ingredients and simplicity. The shorter the list, the better. And if I have to look it up, I'm usually out. That's why I've been loving Bubbs Naturals. Bubbs creates products with high-quality, all-natural ingredients designed to help people get after their adventures in life. I've been a huge fan of their Hydrate or Die electrolyte mix for years now. It only has six total ingredients, but it's packed with five times the electrolytes as conventional sports drinks with none of the added sugars, artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. It's great for post-workout recovery, outdoor adventures, and staying hydrated during long periods of travel, which I've done a lot of lately, and Bubbs is a go-to for me. Plus, all Bubbs products are 100% NSF for Sport certified, which means they pass the most rigorous quality standards. They're currently in just about every MLB locker room, working closely with the Red Sox, Yankees, Rangers, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, and more, of course. I'd love for you to go and check them out.
