180) The Shawn Experiment: It All Begins With Self-Acceptance
Manage episode 403619531 series 2855496
In this episode I experiment with Shawn Poindexter who thought his career path was going to be as an NFL player for the San Francisco 49ers. Turned out the Universe had a different plan in store for Shawn so he has to work through the disappointment regarding what he thought his life would be like and deal with the uncertainty of what his future is going to be.
The unexpected turn of events that Shawn has experienced required us to dig deeper and look at his internal programming that sabotaged him and led to injury in the first place. In order to find purpose beyond the playbook, Shawn has to understand why his life is the way it is today, fully accept it, and learn how to consciously create what it is he wants moving forward.
Throughout our conversation, Shawn offers listeners an unfiltered glimpse into the highs and lows of an athlete's mental landscape. As we touch on his coaching experiences at Santa Barbara High School and his private business where he coaches 1:1, he brings an authentic perspective on the impact of football in shaping young lives and shares some of his concerns about why he does not want his own son to play when he gets older.
As the conversation progressed, behavioral patterns and hidden commitments emerged that are now showing up in Shawn's attempt to become a successful real estate agent. The good new is though, Shawn is ready to learn the lessons the Universe is trying to teach him.
As you listen to this episode, I invite you to reflect on your own path in life where something unexpected happened that was super disappointing and you had to make a pivot. Have you learned the lesson from it or do you have your own pattern of behavior that keeps showing up and holding you back?
