Similar to the other random episodes I’ve recorded with Paul, I have no idea how this episode will go down as it’s another ‘fly on the wall’ conversation where we pressed record and just talked.   This goes in a million different directions (as do all of our private talks) so I hope you enjoy the lack of structure/conversational style for today’s episode.   Here are some of the topics we covered today.       How to choose your suffering to deal with anxiety or environmental depression     Picking friends by design and not by default     Living life on autopilot and catching the unsupportive habits and stories     Why being self-employed or starting your own business is safer than working a ‘real job’     The paradox of choice when it comes to food and dating apps.     The problem with lying and constantly comparing yourself to others     Setting your standards high by asking what would your ‘target’ self do?     Shownotes: 185 The Random Episode 1 With Paul Dermody:https://briankeanefitness.com/podcast/185-the-random-episode-with-paul-dermody-mindlessly-eating-purple-polar-bears-negative-people-and-fat-shaming/ 193 The Random Episode 2 With Paul Dermody:   http://briankeanefitness.libsyn.com/193-the-random-episode-2-with-paul-dermody-fasting-mental-health-vs-mental-illness-the-victim-mentality-and-going-back-to-college-advice   212: The Random Episode 3 With Paul Dermody:  https://briankeanefitness.com/podcast/212-random-episode-3-with-paul-dermody-overcoming-fear-building-self-confidence-owning-your-weaknesses-and-creating-your-inner-circle/Your Inner Circle) Paul’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pauldermodypt/?hl=en
