203 — Why Finding the Right Balance Between Routine and Adventure Changes Everything With Alex Hutchinson
Manage episode 476897877 series 3475432
Do you feel self-disciplined when you have a good routine? But are there times when you crave a little spontaneity and adventure? Exploring new places, doing different things, and mixing things up can be key to personal growth and more joy in life. But it's important to find a balance.
Alex Hutchinson knows this better than anyone. With a PhD in Physics and training as an Olympic runner, he brings unique insight into the disciplines of endurance, sports psychology and physical limits. He's the author of the New York Times bestseller, Endure, and he's also written a new book called The Explorer's Gene.
Some of the things we discuss are:
- How routine helps with self-discipline but why it's important to have adventure and spontaneity too
- How to balance discipline with curiosity
- Why stepping out of your comfort zone will contribute to life's meaning and help you feel more satisfied
- How to grow more comfortable with uncertainty and improve your decision-making skills
- How to embrace the unknown and why this is crucial for mental strength
