The thing that is standing in the way of the big lofty goal you set and where you are now is a feeling.

Setting the goals can feel exciting, fun, and motivating. This is because our brain releases dopamine when we set goals.

But, doing the work to achieve the goal requires a different part of our brain. It requires the part of our brain that utilizes commitment and determination. And, that's uncomfortable.

That's right, the feeling standing in the way of achieving your goal is discomfort.

In this week's podcast episode, I teach you how to cross the gap from where you are now to where you want to be, by creating space to feel the discomfort.

Being able to create space for discomfort opens up so many possibilities. Take a listen, learn how to do it for yourself, and try it out.
