Man Made Podcast ep. 44 Shallow Self Discipline

Welcome to the ManMade Podcast


This Podcast is with Shawn Helvey and Adam Thorne. Shawn is a
licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a graduate
student in behavioral health counseling. They’ve known each other
for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and
tribulations of life.


 


Shallow self-discipline, as practiced by some life coaches, can
often resemble a motivational poster that's lost its way – all
flash and no substance. Imagine a life coach, armed with an
arsenal of clichés, eagerly dispensing advice like a vending
machine stuck on the 'inspirational quotes' setting. They often
miss the mark, offering cookie-cutter solutions to deep-rooted
issues. The irony is that their messages, intended to spark
discipline, often lack the very depth and discipline they're
preaching about. True discipline is more than just a catchy
hashtag or a well-timed pep talk; it requires empathy,
compassion, and understanding. It's about guiding someone through
their journey with the gentleness of a friend and the wisdom of a
sage. Think of it as trying to teach someone to swim by throwing
them a pool noodle instead of jumping in the water with them. The
best coaches dive in, ready to demonstrate each stroke with a
blend of kindness and expertise, turning the daunting task of
learning into an enjoyable swim in the ocean of self-improvement.
