#137 - Your Brain Craves Certainty, So It Often Settles for Familiar


Listen Later

Have you ever caught yourself doing something the exact same way, even though you keep saying you want to change it?

Have you ever asked, "Why do I stay stuck here… when I want something better?"

If so, you're going to love this week's episode of The Smarter Accountant Podcast.

This topic is close to my heart because it explains something so many smart accountants struggle with:

You want to make changes — at work, in your habits, in your life — and yet you keep falling back into the same patterns.

Nothing is wrong with you. You're not lazy. You're not behind.

Your brain is simply choosing what it knows.

After listening, it will feel like a kind friend saying, "I get it… and here's what's actually going on inside you."

This episode is especially for you if:

  • You've wanted change but don't know why it feels so hard
  • You often think "next week… I'll start"
  • You stay in work habits you don't like because they feel easier
  • You worry about trying something new
  • You're tired of feeling stuck
  • You want work and life to feel more intentional

If you've ever wondered why you keep slipping back into the old way of doing things, this episode will finally help it make sense.
