Why do we know what we need to do or want to do and yet can’t seem to do it? Classic self sabotage.


I’m talking through the answer to this on today’s episode. 


Spoiler alert-its not because you didn’t have enough will power or motivation. 


Its because doing new or different things, even when we know they are better choices for us, creates a lot of discomfort for our brains. Its actually a normal response from our nervous system.


This is about how we get comfortable being uncomfortable-that is the key to change. 


I’m breaking down some specific tactics you can use to overcome self sabotage:


✅Taking away the urgency behind your goals

✅Doing the smallest change possible to prove to yourself what you’re capable of

✅Practice, practice, practice

✅Building confidence by taking action even when it feels scary


This episode will totally change the way you think about why you can’t seem to make the changes you want to make.
