You’re stuck in passive action – reading about things instead of actually doing them. You procrastinate on the steps to take you towards your big dreams and goals, even though you know they’re the path to happiness and fulfilment? Maybe you constantly make promises to yourself that you break, and your self-esteem and self-belief is suffering as a result? This week’s episode is for everyone nodding along right now.
