The Warrior Life with ex-Navy Seal, Mark Devine

Do you ever shrink yourself because someone else seems further ahead, more confident, fitter, happier, or more successful? In this episode of Mojo Monday, Carly explores the psychology behind comparison and the idea of an inferiority complex through the lens of Hardiness. Rather than trying to stop comparing, she explains why it’s a normal human response and how the real power lies in how we interpret it. When comparison is seen as a threat, we withdraw. When it’s viewed as a challenge, we move into action. This episode is a practical reminder to shift your focus to what’s in your control and take one small step forward, even when discomfort is present.

This is a repeat episode with the rock star, neuroscientist Ken Mogi as I felt it was so good, I’m playing it again! We discuss the concept of Ikigai, which translates to 'a reason to live.' Ken explains how Ikigai encompasses more than just work, emphasising the importance of starting small, releasing oneself to achieve flow, and finding joy in little things. Ken outlines the five pillars of Ikigai, which include harmony and sustainability, and the significance of being present in the moment. He encourages listeners to reconnect with their inner child to discover their Ikigai and live a fulfilling life.
