104: 6 Things to Stop Doing To Take Back Control of Your Life

In this podcast episode, I discuss six key things to stop doing in order to regain and take control of your life. Drawing from my own personal experiences and mistakes, I'll emphasize the importance of stopping certain behaviors that hinder personal growth and control.


The six things highlighted include not waiting for change, avoiding assumptions, setting anti-goals alongside goals, distinguishing between busyness and productivity, seeking validation from external sources, and not letting others set the conditions of your life. These insights aim to help the listeners lead a more directed, productive, and fulfilling life.
