Do You F*cking Mind?

Episode 10 – Choosing Peace Is the Power Move

(How Stability, Clarity, and Balance Actually Give You Everything You Want)The Reset You Actually Need

For a long time, hustle culture convinced us that being busy meant we were getting somewhere.

In Episode 10 — the final episode of The Reset You Actually Need , we explore why choosing peace isn’t giving up on ambition, but refining it into something sustainable, intelligent, and far more effective.

This episode breaks down:


Why hustle culture confuses motion with real progress


How constant urgency fragments attention and fuels anxiety


Why peace of mind increases performance rather than complacency


How balance isn’t a compromise it’s an optimisation strategy


Why inconsistency creates anxiety and the illusion of “falling behind”


How overstimulation kills clarity, creativity, and fulfilment


Why slower, long-form thinking leads to better decisions and deeper satisfaction

We talk about the gap between where you are and where you think you should be and how that gap is often the source of chronic anxiety. Not because you’re failing, but because you’re trying to sprint instead of stabilise.

Choosing peace doesn’t mean doing less.
It means doing the right things, consistently, without burning yourself out.

This episode is about redefining success so you don’t have to escape your own life to survive it.

This episode concludes a 10-day mini-series designed to help you reset your mindset, rebuild self-trust, and step into the year calm, clear, and self-led.

Self-trust doesn’t disappear because you fail.

It erodes because you keep negotiating with yourself and breaking the deal.

In Day 7 of The Reset You Actually Need, we talk about why so many people struggle to trust themselves, even when they’re capable, intelligent, and motivated, and how constant internal negotiation quietly destroys confidence.

This mini episode explores:


Why every excuse sounds reasonable in your own voice


The difference between a valid reason and a repeated pattern


How negotiating with yourself teaches your brain that your word is flexible


Why discipline isn’t harsh, it’s relieving and freeing


The balance between self-compassion and accountability


Why small promises matter more than big goals

Self-trust isn’t built through motivation, grit, or hype.
It’s built through follow-through.

When you stop arguing with yourself, life gets simpler.
Decisions feel lighter.
Confidence starts to return naturally.

This episode is about becoming someone who does what they say, without punishment, drama, or burnout.

The Reset You Actually Need

Feeling constantly disappointed in people, in situations, or in yourself is exhausting.

In this episode of The Reset You Actually Need, we unpack why disappointment is rarely about bad luck, and more often about repeating the same patterns, ignoring behaviour, and abandoning your own boundaries often without realising it.

This episode explores:


Why disappointment is often self-created (and how to stop doing that)


How repeating the same goals or relationships erodes self-trust


Why listening to words instead of behaviour keeps you stuck


The psychology of repeated rejection and loss of control


How taking responsibility restores agency (without self-blame)


Why self-respect is the fastest way back to emotional stability

This isn’t about becoming cynical or emotionally closed off.
It’s about regaining control by changing what you tolerate, repeat, and negotiate with.

If you’re tired of feeling let down, drained, or stuck in cycles that keep hurting you, this episode will help you reset your expectations, rebuild self-trust, and move forward with clarity.

Part of a 10-day mini-series designed to help you reset your mindset, raise your standards, and step into the year with calm self-leadership.
