S1. E15: Overcoming Learned Helplessness
In this episode, I explore the concept of learned helplessness. Learned helplessness refers to a mental state where an individual, after experiencing repeated adverse events beyond their control, believes that they are powerless to change their situation. This concept can manifest in various areas of life, such as education, work, relationships, and health. The episode provides three steps to overcome learned helplessness: realizing that the past does not equal the future, practicing patience, and changing perspective and environment. By breaking free from learned helplessness, individuals can take proactive steps towards their dreams and change their circumstances.
