Lessons Learned from Being Alone
Manage episode 451097019 series 3573250
When my husband goes out of town, I have a little tradition: I pick a show we wouldn’t normally watch together and plow through an entire season. This time, I chose the show Alone. I ended up loving it so much that I knew I had to bring it into today’s podcast episode.
If you’re not familiar, Alone is a wilderness survival show where contestants are dropped into extreme conditions to see how long they can last. As I watched, my coach brain kicked in (as it always does!), and I started thinking: How does this apply to real life?
Thankfully, most of us won’t ever face a wilderness survival scenario. But the challenges contestants face on Alone reveal some powerful lessons about resilience, adaptability, and mindset that we can learn from.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing five key takeaways from Alone and showing you how to apply them to your own life:
- Energy Is Finite—Spend It Wisely: Focus your energy on what truly matters to you, and don’t waste it on things that drain you unnecessarily.
- Success Requires Both a Plan and Adaptability: Plan for the results you want, but be ready to pivot when life throws you a curveball.
- You Are So Much More Capable Than You Realize: Challenge yourself to push past your perceived limits—you might just surprise yourself.
- Mindset Matters: Your attitude can make all the difference. Practicing positivity can help you overcome even the toughest challenges.
- Keep the Big Picture in Mind and Allow Yourself to Change Your Mind: Life isn’t static. When your priorities shift, it’s okay to give yourself permission to change your mind.
