Fighting The Negative Thoughts | Psychological Tricks To Stop The Neurosis
About this episode
I've been dealing with a bit of internal criticism recently so it was nice to get this off my chest (or out of my head to be more accurate).
In Episode #351 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: feedback from some fellow Brisbanites, why we are so committed to value for value, some changes to our release schedule, YOUI screwing over Juan and his car, compliments on Juan's sweaty armpits, why I've been so self-critical recently, ways I'm trying to fix my thought process and why we are 'what you see is what you get'.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
