What if being harder on yourself is actually making it harder to change?
In this episode of Becoming Secure with Magsmindset, I'm joined by Flint Mitchell, author of Seeking Authenticity and founder of iAlign, to explore why we struggle to live according to our values—even when we know exactly what we want to change.
From doomscrolling and procrastination to shame-based accountability, we discuss why criticizing ourselves doesn't necessarily lead to growth, and how awareness, compassion, and small intentional actions can create meaningful change.
We also explore what authenticity really means, the pressure to succeed, navigating a rapidly changing world, and why our thoughts and feelings aren't always telling us the truth.
In this conversation:
✨ Why shame and accountability aren't the same thing
✨ The emotional patterns behind doomscrolling
✨ How to identify and live by your core values
✨ Why small changes can be more effective than dramatic resolutions
✨ How to stop measuring your worth through productivity
✨ Finding authenticity in a world full of comparison and influence
✨ Taking responsibility for what you can actually control
Awareness creates agency. And change doesn't have to begin with self-criticism.
