How to Create Perspective and Get Out of Your Own Way

How to Create Perspective and Get Out of Your Own Way

Ever tried surfing and ended up just swallowing seawater? That’s what life feels like when you’re glued to the problem and forget to look up. In this episode, I share how learning to surf taught me more about perspective than any self-help book ever could. We’ll break down why your brain loves to panic, how focusing on the wrong thing can make you fall (literally and metaphorically), and the simple hacks that help you zoom out when you’re stuck in the weeds. Think of it as a manual for getting out of your own way—using surfboards, driving lessons, and a dash of Bob Marley. Takeaways: Use physical cues or mantras to trigger perspective shifts. Schedule regular “look up” moments—weekly reviews, coaching, or just a walk. Reframe panic as a signal to check your focus, not a reason to double down. Ready to stop face-planting into your own problems? Hit play and start steering toward the horizon. ---- Advertisers BetterHelp The world's largest online therapy provider ⁠⁠⁠BetterHelp.com/GrowthMindset⁠⁠⁠ - 10% off 1st month Liquid I.V.
