057. Why Fixing Your Problems Feels So Hard


Listen Later

Here's what you'll learn:

  • Problems often form passively, through small unnoticed actions like late-night snacks or years of self-doubt.

  • Fixing problems requires conscious effort, every step feels heavier and intentional.

  • Bad habits are like taking the elevator, they happen automatically without effort.

  • Positive change is like taking the stairs, slow and effortful but the only way up.

  • Misconception: fixing issues takes as long as creating them. In reality, problems form subconsciously while fixing requires deliberate action.

  • Discomfort, fear, and resistance are natural parts of change, not signs of failure.

  • Expecting progress to feel effortless sets you up to quit and restart.

  • Accepting that discomfort is required makes the process easier and sustainable.

  • If there is no discomfort, you are repeating old patterns and creating the same results.

  • True growth is built step by step, with focus, consistency, and intentional action.

  • The short-term discomfort is proof you are doing something different, and that matters.

  • Stop believing there is something wrong with you for feeling resistance. It means you are on the right path.

  • Each intentional step up the stairs shows you who you are and what you are capable of.

  • Progress becomes possible when you embrace the hard work as part of the process.
