Have you noticed that you are prone to think more negatively about your chances of succeeding at something whenever you feel energy-depleted? And spending time second-guessing yourself, feeding negative thoughts, and paying too much attention to what scares you makes you exhausted?
This happens because fear and fatigue are intimately related. The good news? There is a way of spotting them on time, dealing with them, and preventing them from affecting you and your social enterprise.
Today, we talk about the silent killers: fear and fatigue. You'll hear first-hand how they threatened my mental and physical health, how they got in the middle of my professional life, why I call them silent killers, and how I overcame them.
Tune in and listen to the fifty-sixth episode of Avant-garde Entrepreneur. You'll hear my definition of fear and fatigue, my personal experiences dealing with them, and why they're dangerous to the point they can kill your leadership, hack your spirit, and make you drastically less effective. I also share five tips to spot, deal with, and overcome these silent killers, self-reflection and spiritual practices to help you overcome burnout, and much more.
