You’ve called it laziness, poor discipline, or just "being stuck."
But what if the real issue isn’t your motivation, but how your brain works?

From dopamine loops to emotional risk and spiritual identity, we’ll unpack:

  • Why you scroll even when you want to start
  • How procrastination masks fear of failure, not lack of drive
  • What neuroscience, human behavior, and the Bible reveal about your reset

    • If you’ve been frustrated with yourself lately, maybe it’s time to stop blaming your discipline and start rewiring how you move, by grace, through faith, and with God-given clarity.
