what if you allowed yourself to be mediocre?
4/21/202636 min
Today I’m giving you permission to show up as a fucking amateur, sloppily throw yourself into action and be mediocre. It’s sort of the opposite of a motivational speech, except that this is actually going to get you to take that FIRST step. Because mediocrity is the foundation upon which greatness gets built.

It's rewiring how I approach everything in my life, and I'm getting more results. [laughs] I'm getting better sleep. I'm experiencing way less stress, way less inflammation in my fucking body, way less bloating, way less... Which was a big thing because it caused, it was caused by my inflammation because of my shallow breathing, because of my anxiety, because of the amount of expectations I hold myself to. [claps] Okay?
