13176: Ruts and Goal Trauma

Hey there, hero!

It's easy to get into a rut. You get used to doing something, you're not challenged any longer, and it starts feeling monotonous.

Even if your goal was to create a reliable ritual. It just gets old. You get stuck.

Then Ajarae Coleman jumped in with a new concept.

You try to shake things up, and strike out for something more challenging. Something new.

And it doesn't quite work out.

The feelings you have when you try something, fail at it, and reflect on the process can range from the thought that you learned something to "meh" to disappointment to outright sadness to..."goal trauma."

(Yeah, I didn't know what that meant either, until I used the google to find out what Ajarae was on about.)

Please discuss, once you've watched the episode. What's your go-to reaction when you try something and fail? Let me know in the comments below.
