(322) The Upper Limit Problem: Breakthrough the Ceiling of Happiness

(322) The Upper Limit Problem: Breakthrough the Ceiling of Happiness  In this podcast episode, we explore the concept of breaking through one"s "ceiling of happiness," inspired by Gay Hendricks" book "The Big Leap." The discussion focuses on the "upper limit problem" (ULP), which refers to internal limits on our happiness.  We outline four core beliefs that hinder joy and success: feeling fundamentally flawed, fear of disloyalty, associating success with burden, and fear of outshining others. The episode offers strategies like grounding activities and practicing gratitude to overcome these limitations and increase one"s capacity for happiness.   SUBSCRIBE ▶️ Subscribe to the channel: YouTube.com/@thefocusbee 🎤 Subscribe to the podcast → https://thefocusbeeshow.buzzsprout.com/    CHAPTERS00:00:00:  Introduction to Happiness Ceiling 00:01:07: Inner Thermostat Explained 00:02:12: Upper Limit Problem 00:03:41: Core Belief: Feeling Flawed 00:04:49: Core Belief: Disloyalty to Others 00:05:49: Core Belief: Success Equals Burden 00:07:06: Core Belief: Fear of Outshining 00:08:07: Strategies to Overcome ULP 00:09:14: Grounding Techniques 00:11:34: Practicing Gratitude 00:12:42: Conclusion and Call to Action    RESOURCES 📕 BOOK ‘The Big Leap’, Gay Hendricks   COURSES 🧠 Master Performance → https://fifteenseconds.com/seasons/master-performance 🎯Free Focus Guide → https://tinyurl.com/GuideFocus   CONNECT 📕 BOOK ‘The Magic of Focus’ → https://tinyurl.com/TheMagicOfFocus 💌 FRIDAY FOCUS, weekly magic → https://thefocusbee.kit.com/  ✨ LINKTREE → https://linktr.ee/thefocusbee   🎤 PODCAST → https://thefocusbeeshow.buzzsprout.com/ 📝 BLOG →  https://thefocusbee.substack.com/ 🌟 LINKEDIN → https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiestoddart/ ABOUT   💫 Hi, I’m Katie – engineer turned entrepreneur, and founder of ‘The Focus Bee’.
