How to Break the Cycle of Stuckness: Why Familiar Pain Feels Safer Than Unfamiliar Change
Manage episode 516060953 series 2880135
We hear it all the time: “Get uncomfortable.”
But what if discomfort isn’t the key to growth? What if the real issue is familiarity?
In this solo episode, Paul explores how staying stuck in the familiar—even when it’s painful—is the #1 reason people can’t change. Whether it’s relationships, routines, or recurring patterns, your brain will always choose the known over the unknown… until you choose differently.
🎯 You’ll Learn:
Why you keep repeating habits that don’t help you
How your brain confuses familiarity with safety
Why “hard” doesn’t always mean “helpful”
The one phrase that helped Paul finally grow (personally + relationally)
How to use “getting unfamiliar” to unlock progress in any area
