13. Why Do I Feel So Flat?
Manage episode 420660972 series 3564510
“Flatness” or Numbness is a state that many entrepreneurs unconsciously experience - particularly those who have pursued business success over a long period of time.
Flatness is a state where “everything feels the same”, the spectrum of emotions or experiences has decreased, and life becomes grey & numb.
Everyone saying you should be happy, living the dream, “the perfect life” - but you don’t feel anything, other than occasional temporary stimulation.
You then need to continue working hard to maintain the reality you have created, which still hasn’t brought happiness and there seems to be no better alternative available.
This flat line means there’s no lows, but also no highs in life., Often times this is just accepted as “That’s how life is now”.
In this podcast, Pete & Rene shed some light on this phenomenon. They will explain the reason why nothing feels like it used to so you can understand how this situation has happened, and then give a roadmap for how its possible for you to regain that childlike appreciation & joy for life.
In this episode, they cover:
- Why do certain entrepreneurs feel “flat” in their lives? What is truly underneath it?
- Rene’s story of how he realised his life had lost all joy & meaning
- The false story which founders tell themselves, and how this unknowingly creates numbness in their lives
- The role that accepting growth & evolution plays in finding deep happiness
- Why do we lose the ability we had as a child to feel optimism & joy?
- The power of seeking discomfort as a tool for increased happiness
- Why welcoming emotions is a key part of the process of finding long term fulfilment
