It shuts down your ability to feel anything at all. Guy Winch has worked with hundreds of people who thought they'd fallen out of love with their partners, only to discover something more unsettling. They hadn't fallen out of love. They'd gone numb. When you're treading water with the stress level up to your neck, your brain does something protective but devastating. It turns off the feelings to help you function. The problem is, it doesn't just turn off the stress. It turns off everything. You come home at the end of the day, and when your partner goes to hug you, you're stiff. You're still in work mode. You can't feel the warmth, the connection, the love. And after enough times being rejected like that, your partner stops being a fan too. That's when the real distance starts.Guy reveals something that changes everything: your partner probably didn't change at all. You did. And here's the breakthrough that makes this bearable to hear. You can change yourself back. Stop telling yourself your job is "very stressful" because that narrative reinforces the numbness and keeps you on constant alert. Even firefighters, who literally run into burning buildings, describe their jobs as "intermittently stressful" because they recognize the downtime. If they can reframe their reality, you can too. Find the moments between the stress. Prepare your favorite lunch. Listen to music that brings you joy. Crack jokes with coworkers. Create tiny pockets of feeling throughout your day. Lower the water level first, then reconnect with what you love. Your relationship isn't broken. You're just drowning, and you need to learn how to breathe again.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The next year, when she won by six tenths of a second, people said she was getting slow. The victory itself wasn't questioned, but suddenly winning alone wasn't good enough. She had to win by more. This shift created something she'd never experienced before: performance anxiety so severe she was vomiting at the start of almost every race. Not from fear of losing, but from fear of the disappointment that came with not exceeding expectations that had become completely unrealistic. Even people closest to her would say things like "it'd be so great if you could just stomp on this race." She knew the expectations weren't realistic, but she didn't know how to explain that. So she raced anyway, and people took four to five years to catch up to the fact that her early dominance was a moment in time, not a permanent standard.The breakthrough came from recognizing that exhaustion isn't weakness. After winning her 85th World Cup victory, everyone assumed number 86 the next day was a done deal. But she'd raced seven times in ten days across Europe. She was mentally and emotionally disconnected, not because she lacked skill or drive, but because she was human and tired. Sometimes you just need one recovery day. She's learned to recognize when expectations are unrealistic, when media questions are trying to insinuate feelings rather than ask honestly, and most importantly, that people will eventually catch up. Excellence doesn't mean you have to exceed impossible standards every single time. Sometimes winning by six tenths is still extraordinary, even if two seconds was once possible.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

That's it. Not for the degree, not for the career, just for her. So when they got married, he figured he was done. But she looked at him and said something that changed everything: "I can't be with you if you don't finish what you start." That moment launched him on a 12-year journey to complete a four-year degree while living with the weight of an absent father, growing up in abandoned warehouses, and getting kicked out of school. He didn't get his PhD until he was 44. And instead of seeing himself as behind, he realized something profound: the further you pull back a slingshot, the more powerful the release. His delays weren't failures. They were preparation for the impact he was meant to make.Here's what will hit you hardest about this conversation: Eric could have blamed everything and everyone for holding him down. The circumstances were real. The struggles were legitimate. But the breakthrough came when he realized the greatest enemy wasn't outside circumstances. It was himself. When you compare your timeline to someone else's, you're measuring your journey against someone who has completely different strengths, weaknesses, and purposes. The person graduating in four years might be heading toward a traditional job. You might be preparing to change the world. That takes longer. So stop judging yourself by someone else's clock. The obstacles only hold you down when you allow them to. When you shift from "outside inside" thinking to "inside out" living, everything changes. You're not behind. You're being developed.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
