169: Contentment vs Progress

The Progress Project - A podcast by Laura Farr & Kristin Brown

Do you ever feel guilty that you want MORE when you “should” be content with what you have? Or maybe you feel like you “should” be making more progress than you currently are in a given season of life. In this episode, we’re talking about contentment vs. progress and why we feel like we’re doing it wrong, no matter which phase of life we’re in. You’ll learn: Why our brains default to wanting the next thing, even after achieving a big goal How to decide if you should be in a growth mindset or a contentment mindset How you can take time to celebrate goal achievement (even if you’re already thinking about the next one) How you can expect and accept that reaching your next goal won’t make your life any happier than it is today SHOWNOTES: For a recap of the episode and any links we mentioned in our conversation today, head to our website at: https://www.jointheprogressproject.com/podcast/169 FREE TIME BLOCKING TOOLKIT: You’ll find a few extra hours for you and your creativity starting this week, no matter how full your schedule already is.
