Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to grab a cuppa and a biscuit and join us in getting lost in finding ourselves.

    Getting better at feeling good enough

    In a world where we have more scope than ever before to compare ourselves with others, the chances are that there is some way - ok, let’s face it: probably many (many) ways - in which you don’t feel good enough. In this episode, we’re looking at how that happens and considering the possibility that you can learn to see yourself differently and get better at feeling good enough…if you truly want to. And we’re definitely not going to do that unethical social experiment we talked about. Honest. Today’s question for you to mull over is: What’s the first thing that comes to mind about yourself when you hear the phrase “Not good enough”? How true is it?

    If it works for you... it works!

    If you’ve ever wanted to try something that you think might help you, only to have people around you be sniffy about it because it “doesn’t work” or “it’s not scientifically proven”, then this episode of Mission Imperfect is perfect for you! We discuss how something can work for one person but not another; the power of belief (hello, Placebo Effect), and how the Universe will persist in working even without a comprehensive scientific explanation of how it does so. We get mildly distracted by chocolate, smelling nice, and “The Secret”, but do pretty well at sticking to the topic (by our own lamentable standards, at least).  Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode, is actually a choice of 2 questions - you can choose which one to answer, or go for both!  What are you telling yourself you NEED to have/do in order to feel the way you want to, and how true is it? What are you drawn to but are not trying because of what other people might say or think, and what difference would it make to you if it helped?

    Where's my motivation gone?!

    Why do we act / behave / do what we do? Well there’s a million-dollar question! But our motivation has a lot to do with it – it is our driver to move from thought to action. So of course it can be problematic when our motivation seems to vanish! This week we talk about sources of motivation, which can be different for all of us, what’s tricky about motivation and how we can try to understand it better for ourselves – to our advantage.  Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer: ‘What do you understand about yourself and what you find motivating? (Are you using this to your advantage / do you know what pitfalls to look out for?)’ Resources: Blog - https://www.kbmindfulcoaching.com/post/my-mojo-has-left-the-building Confidence episode: On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2fAEkqv6sgzmEHkfvPMXju?si=pCL1oC3CRjalWJ_kP_pFQQ On Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/mission-imperfect-navigating-life-with-coaches-kirsty/id1774218514?i=1000677577773 Maslow’s hierarchy of needs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs Extrinsic and intrinsic motivation: https://www.simplypsychology.org/differences-between-extrinsic-and-intrinsic-motivation.html Find us here: Kathryn: www.kbmindfulcoaching.com       Kirsty: www.coachingbykirsty.co.uk And on social media here: Kathryn on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/kathryneball   Kirsty on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachingbykirsty/
