#22 Self-Destructive Mindsets, Perfectionism & Finding Balance | Alex Buley

Back at it again with Alex (@buleyfit) to discuss self-destructive mindsets, chronic perfectionism, driven mindsets and the pressure we put upon ourselves to be continually 'productive', striving for unattainable expectations.

We discuss the difficulty of adjusting to the University lifestyle, feeling confidence in pursuing your path rather than confiding into social stereotypes, and the value of surrounding yourself with like minded people.

We discuss the perception of 'failure', and how these moments of adversity can enforce growth, allow you to recognise your capabilities,  acquire new skills and expand your overall understanding to overcome obstacles.

Also, we raise the topic of burnout, and the importance of finding a work/life balance - prioritising rest and minimising the habitual routine of unnecessarily overworking.
