82 - Stuck in consumption mode

Season #1 Episode #82

Have you signed up to a new course and not started it? Booked in for another workshop, event or study option? Feel like you need a new qualification to get started? Are you looking for the answers, that one big thing that will change everything? Stuck in constantly learning without following it with action? Could you be stuck in the learning, addicted to the consumption? Why do we do it and how we get stuck on the consumption wheel? There are a multitude of underlying reasons, and mostly will be individual to the person. The problem is that there is no risk in consuming. Thereā€™s no fear of rejection, humiliation, getting it wrong or failure. Why do we get stuck in consuming, learning instead of taking action? The blocks could be:
  • Believing that you need to know everything before you can start
  • Don't believe in your own creativity or ability
The Training never stops - Tony Robbins So how do we move forward? There are some key questions you need to ask yourself to be able to make this change:
  • Do I know one person in the world that I am confident I can help with this information?
  • What am I afraid of?
  • How can I fulfil my needs for Comfort, Connnection, Certainty or Signifcance in another way?
  • How long am I willing to tolerate where I am?
  • What's the point of consuming the information if I am not using it?
