I think what I've struggled with often in identifying at groups is the idea where I start to feel left alone and not a part of the power of what you're talking about is I just want somebody sometimes to say: you know you're right, there isn't a real good sell on trying right now, the way you're feeling.
Imagine feeling held back by your own thoughts. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Dr. Jon Mills about the debilitating 'why try' effect. This phenomenon often stems from self-stigma, where negative stereotypes erode one's self-esteem and motivation. Dr. Mills breaks down how these harmful beliefs can stop people from chasing their dreams and even from seeking out proven methods that could help them succeed.
He explains that self-stigma involves three stages: recognizing the stereotype, agreeing with it, and applying it to oneself. This internalized negativity can be a major roadblock to achieving life goals. However, Dr. Mills offers hope by discussing ways to combat these feelings. He emphasizes the power of connecting with others who share similar experiences and the importance of finding tailored support systems. The conversation wraps up with insights on reclaiming personal agency and setting meaningful goals.
If you're curious about how to break free from self-limiting beliefs, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice.
