@kathryn.tatess: When trying to do something big or difficult, people often “know” it’s the right choice but still can’t get themselves to begin. Our brains don’t just act based on logic. They anticipate the future - including the struggles, emotions, and discomfort that could come with taking action. And if your brain predicts that the journey will make you miserable, that you’ll be judged or you won’t be able to handle struggling or poor performance, it’s going to create resistance to starting. The key is to make the journey feel more sustainable: - Where can I build in joy? - How will I get through the difficult parts? - What can I do to make this more doable? You’re showing your brain the journey is something you can handle, which lowers resistance to starting.
