E3 - How To Stay Motivated When You Don’t Feel Like It (Midlife Career Reinvention)
Feeling stuck between "I know I need to change" and "I just don't feel like it today"? This episode is all about the real inner game of reinvention: your mindset. In this conversation, Todd Jason and Chris Thide unpack what it actually means to build a growth mindset when you're a mid-career professional facing big questions about work, money, and identity. Instead of vague "think positive" advice, they give you a practical mental framework you can use on real Tuesday mornings when your mood is in the gutter and your to-do list is screaming. You'll learn: Why most midlife professionals are wired toward negativity, fear, and worst-case thinking The core principle: "Follow your plan, not your mood" The two paths in any bad day: - Push through with willpower (Tony Robbins mode) - Allow & reflect so you can reset, not just grind How to use "allow & reflect" without getting stuck in a spiral Todd's personal practices: solo walks, self-talk, using music to access and release emotion Chris's tools: morning pages, gratitude, and how to turn a rough day into an 8/10 instead of a zero Why honoring your emotions actually makes you more productive, creative, and resilient in your reinvention If you're reinventing your career, being shown the door, burned out from corporate, or already on the path and riding the emotional rollercoaster, this episode gives you a way to work with your mood instead of constantly fighting it. Your next career move can be your best one yet. This is how you build the mindset to make that possible. **Subscribe to our ReInvention Podcast and stay on the cutting-edge with fresh ideas and practical tools to navigate the future of your work!
