What matters to you right now?

That's the question this episode is built around, because when everything feels important, nothing gets your proper attention. And when nothing gets your proper attention, you burn out trying to hold it all together.

I'm Jen Wilson, The Healing Rebel, and this episode is about how to work out where to put your energy when your list of "important things" has quietly become unmanageable. It's inspired by a task from my book 9 Rules to Sort Your Shit, which is turning 10 this December.

What I cover:

Why "where the attention goes, the energy flows" isn't just a nice phrase

Why the standard Wheel of Life headings (health, money, relationships) are too vague to help you

How to make the Wheel of Life work for you by writing your own headings

Why you can't get everything to 10 out of 10 at the same time (and why trying is a fast track to burnout)

The link between not knowing what matters and running yourself into the ground

Why knowing something intellectually and putting it into practice are two different things

Why external support (therapy, coaching, bodywork) matters even when you already know the material

The "confidence comes after competence" reminder, and why imposter syndrome often just means you haven't built the reps yet

What I'm currently working on in my own therapy sessions and why

A heads up on the 9 Rules to Sort Your Shit podcast launching this October

A few questions I answer:

How do I work out what to focus on when everything feels important?

Why do I keep feeling stuck even though I'm doing loads?

What is the Wheel of Life exercise and how do I use it properly?

Why can't I just fix everything at once? How do I know when I need external support?
