Do you ever feel stuck in a rut or frustrated that you keep falling back into the same old patterns that aren’t working? If so, this episode is for you.

We often go through life on autopilot. We rely on routines that feel comfortable even when they aren't working for us.

The good news is, you have the power to break free and the answer is as simple as DSD — "Do Something Different."

Some of the things I talk about are:

  • Why our brains love comfort zones — and how they keep us stuck
  • The science behind psychological flexibility (and why it's so important)
  • How small, intentional changes can rewire your brain
  • How to apply DSD to your situation to create change
  • The two biggest mistakes people make when trying to change — and how to avoid them
  • Three simple steps to start practicing DSD today
  • How to identify what's keeping you stuck and brainstorm creative solutions
