How to find yourself? We tell in the podcast "Plantain"

The fourth season of the "Plantain" podcast, a joint project of Lifehacker and Yandex Gois called "Route built". In it, we pave the route to the best version of ourselves, and the podcast host Yekaterina Tyurina is assisted in this by business coaches, development consultants, self-realization specialists and doctors of science. It will be interesting, we promise!

In the second issue we talked about fears and defensive reactions - about what prevents us from living and becomes the cause of anxiety. In this episode we will try to find ourselves.

And this time, Elena Rezanova, a specialist in self-realization, author of the books “Never. How to get out of the impasse and find yourself "and" This is the norm! A book about finding yourself, career crises and self-determination. "

01:11 - how to distinguish one's own desires from those imposed. Elena talks about "viral dreams" (that our choice is sometimes dictated by fashion, and we follow this fashion). Sometimes "I want" can deceive us and not bring pleasure.

03:12 - about how to understand that we are on the wrong path. The expert advises to constantly test hypotheses, that is, to permanently try something new.

04:00 - how to find time to find yourself. Elena is convinced that a 1 ° turn works just as well as a 90 ° turn.

9:28 - about how to understand exactly what you want. If the job is pretty boring, perhaps the point is excessive "tunneling". We are “tunneled” and change the format, not the work.

13:32 - about an alternative scenario of the day. We are discussing another way to find energy resources in order to follow the goal.

15:25 - about restructuring yourself. The meaning of life, career and attitudes can change, and that's okay.

16:56 - about vocation: what it is and how it relates to talent.

20:03 - how not to give up when setting a goal. Remember: steps have to be inexpensive, the path is an experiment, and success is not necessarily a specific point. The presenter gives her own example: Katya is blogging, but she fears failure and creative crisis. Elena recommends asking yourself the question: "What is cool about what you are doing?" And if something went wrong, he advises to change the format.

26:29 - about working for ourselves. How to check if this is right for you?

28:38 - blitz-poll: summing up the brief results of the issue.
