Choosing Authenticity: Break Free from 'Supposed To' and Find Fulfillment

The idea is to move from these parameters that I'm going to describe in a minute to a choice to wanting to do things versus having to.
Ever felt like you're just going through the motions because it's what you're 'supposed to' do? In this episode of 'Counseling On Demand', Dr. Fred Riley and guest Derek Overstreet tackle this very issue. They dive into how living by 'supposed to's' can drain your authenticity and leave you feeling like a failure. If you've ever found yourself doing things out of obligation rather than genuine desire, this episode is for you. Dr.
Riley and Derek discuss how these actions can lead to depression, anxiety, and a sense of inadequacy. But they don't just stop at identifying the problem—they offer practical advice on how to shift your mindset. By stepping back and examining your motivations, you can start making choices that truly reflect your values and desires. The episode is packed with insights on how to build self-confidence and find fulfillment by doing things that genuinely matter to you.
It's a conversation that's both engaging and supportive, offering listeners a fresh perspective on living a more authentic life. Tune in and discover how to refuel your life with activities that bring you joy and satisfaction.
