Feeling Behind? 4 Powerful Mindsets to G...

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

“I thought by this point in my life I definitely would have . . .” can be a dangerous phrase. Whether we’re “feeling behind” because we’ve never gotten married, had kids, or owned a house, or just wish we were further along in our career, it can be demoralizing. It’s the same feeling when you go through a breakup and feel like you just “wasted” all that time with someone. But this thinking is a trap. If you’ve caught yourself feeling “I’m so behind compared to everyone else,” use the four powerful mindset reframes I share in today’s episode to get out of your rut and start moving forward again.
