Why Do We Avoid What's Good For Us?
Episode Summary:
Ever notice how kids will do anything to avoid going to sleep? Turns out, we do the same thing—just in different ways. In this episode, we explore why we resist things we know are good for us, from sleep to simple habits like taking vitamins or getting outside. We dive into the emotional roadblocks behind avoidance, how it sneaks into our daily lives, and what we can do to shift our mindset. If you’ve ever caught yourself procrastinating something for no good reason, this one’s for you!
Episode Highlights:
[1:45] - The bedtime excuses kids use (and why they fight sleep so hard)
[5:30] - How adults avoid sleep and other beneficial habits
[10:15] - The hidden emotional reasons behind avoidance
[15:40] - When avoiding something actually makes it worse (hello, chaos!)
[20:00] - A mindset shift: running toward what we want instead of away from what we don’t
