S2: Getting Through the Pressures of Modern Life The MOBILE MENTOR
-
- Self-Improvement
IF YOU'VE EVER FELT NOT GOOD ENOUGH, THAT YOU'RE CONSTANTLY COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS OR TRYING TO CHANGE TO FIT IN - STOP AND LISTEN TO THIS. When writing this title, I was deciding between the words 'overcoming, 'conquering,' and 'battling' the pressures of modern life but none of them quite fit... The reason for choosing 'getting through,' was because overall, it's an ongoing process – society changes quicker than your knickers, and the approaches and tools we can use to keep up, are continuously arising too. So here are mine...
____
In this episode, I outline three major influences that shape our upbringing, beliefs of the world and our decisions towards adulthood, including the media, our parents and social institutions. Pulling on my own troubled transition from teens to twenties, I share how I learnt to establish my own value outside of the one prescribed of me by Western society. I came to realize that I was trying to fit in, and abide by, the more favoured human qualities and achievements, such as extroversion, thinness, higher academic grades versus other talents, working until it hurts, obedience, and pursuing only a few career paths. THERE IS NO ONE TRUTH, AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL HAS HUGE VALUE TO OFFER OUTSIDE OF THESE.
____
There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, but with new awareness and by spending time with ourselves, we can rewire our thinking to become happier again!

I HOPE YOU GET HEAPS OF VALUE FROM THIS. If you have any more ideas or thoughts of your own, DM me on IG @a_blanx – I read them all! Please hit subscribe to be alerted of new episodes, and share with a friend if you think it will help them :) Appreciate YOU!
