The Stories That Hold Us Back | Brian OLoughlin | Ep.104 Prymal 2025-04-03 | IGrowth, success and achievement in life seems extremely hard. For so many of us, some of the biggest barriers we experience are based around the narrative we have created inside our own heads. Lack of belief, lack of ability, imposter syndrome, fear - these are some of the common experiences for so many people. In some cases we are held back by our environment. But in many cases, we stand in our own way. We explore this with Brian O'Loughlin and discuss some of the strategies we can use to overcome these barriers and change how we view ourselves and the world.

What will you regret at 97 years of age? #shorts Prymal 2025-02-03 | What will you regret at 97 years of age? When we forward project, we can visualise the thoughts we might have when we come to the end of our time here. This can help us gain real perspective on the things that actually matter to us. If we think we might look back and regret certain decisions, that can inform how we move forward right now. Often we get caught up in the moment and react to what we think we want or need, but gaining some perspective using a strategy like this can help us live an intentional life. This was a fantastic insight from Brian in our recent podcast. Catch the full episode now on all platforms if you’d like to hear more. Thanks Brian.🤝#podcast #regret
