Of course you know that you must take action to accomplish your vision and goals, but have you ever noticed the psychological distance to your goals? The psychological distance is the internal resistance you experience when considering your goals or what you want to accomplish. When you dissolve the psychological distance, the tactical distance (the actions required) become much easier, and require less intensity. Make the psychological distance go away, and your desired outcomes become inevitable. 

The primary elements of this episode are:

  1. The tactical distance to your vision/goals is about 5% of the total distance to your vision/goals, while the psychological distance is the remaining 95%. 
  2. Hustle whores and grind gurus tell you to work harder (on the 5%) while the smarter way of approaching accomplishing anything is to work just as hard or harder on closing the psychological distance by letting go of all doubt and internal resistance to your goals. 
  3. The letting go process is noticing any stories you're holding about why you can't have what you want now, and watching them dissolve in your mind. This also releases emotion which was buried underneath the story.
  4. Releasing internal resistance makes all action more intense and effective.
