Manage episode 485230118 series 3646216
We all have those things we constantly say we want more time for: working out, eating better, spending quality time with our kids, having date nights, taking time for ourselves. But somehow, we keep not making it happen. In this episode, we dive deep into the real reasons behind this frustrating cycle (spoiler: it's not about lacking willpower or discipline). You'll discover the three main sources of resistance that keep us stuck, plus practical strategies to finally start doing the things we actually want to do - without burning yourself out or fighting against your natural flow.
Key Points Discussed:
- We all have things we continue to say we want to have more time for, but we keep not making or having make time for them.
- We beat ourselves up for “not having enough discipline to do them” or not having enough time to fit them in.
· The 3 real reasons we face resistance to our own goals:
- Fuzzy outcomes or unclear action steps
- Fighting against your natural daily rhythm
- Getting stuck in solution ruts
· 4 solutions we can use to work past our resistance:
- Get very clear about the goals and outcomes you want and what that would look like in practice
- Make things as easy as you can on yourself.
- Redesign the flow
- Don’t go it alone, ask for help to brainstorm the solution
