    The reason why you suffer from chronic tightness & pain at work

    #29 - Focus on the Process & the Outcome Takes Care of Itself

    This episode covers:


    A more empowering way to work towards your goals
    One that will probably make you more successful anyway 

    Most of us have got so caught up in achieving goals before, that our self-worth got tied up in it. It was all about the outcome, the end result, and it slowly chipped away at us over time. The journey stops becoming fun, the negative emotions are taking over, and we wanted to quit and give it up. In this episode I will show you a more empowering way to approach your goals. One that won’t just make you more at peace and enjoy the journey, but probably more successful too.
