The Self-Trust Project

042. Why You Keep Getting the Same Results (Even When You Try to Change)


Listen Later

Here's what you'll learn:

  • The Comfort Trap

    • Your brain wants to repeat behaviors it’s done before—even if they don’t lead to what you want.

    • Comfort is prioritized over success because the brain is wired for survival, not fulfillment.

  • Change Requires New Inputs

    • You can’t expect new outcomes from old actions.

    • If nothing changes, nothing changes. Inputs must shift before outputs do.

  • Stop Overcomplicating Change

    • Big results don’t require complex strategies.

    • First step: create friction for the old behavior or simplify the new one.

    • Make the new behavior easier and more repeatable.

  • Curiosity Over Criticism

    • You don’t know how others will respond until you ask.

    • Drop assumptions. Practice new approaches with curiosity, not fear or self-judgment.

  • Ask for Feedback

    • Don’t wait for validation. Actively ask for it.

    • Simple check-ins with people you trust can reinforce and normalize new behaviors.

  • Micro Accountability Wins

    • People can’t hold you to your big goals, but they can help with your small, consistent actions.

    • Peer accountability works best for the tiny, daily steps that lead to bigger growth.
