The Reason You Can’t Change Your Life
Summary
- If you're feeling stuck and struggling to change your behavior, it's essential to realize that you haven't reached a point where the discomfort of staying the same outweighs the discomfort of changing.
- To initiate change, work on shaping your surroundings so that the pain of not changing is greater than the pain of taking action.
- This process will help motivate you to move forward and make the changes you desire in your life.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting with setting up your space to encourage the new habits you want to establish. This could mean putting your running shoes right by your bed if you want to start jogging in the morning, or having healthy snacks available if you're trying to eat better.
To make it easier to change, try to hang out with friends who have the healthy habits you want to adopt. Their influence can help push you to make the changes you want to see in yourself.
Remember, small steps are key. If exercising for an hour feels too much, start with just a 10-minute walk and build up from there. And keep a journal to track your progress. Seeing how far you've come can be a huge motivator to keep going!
It's also important to think about your why. Why do you want to change? Write it down and put it somewhere you'll see every day. Your why can help give you that extra push when it's hard to stick to your goals.
Lastly, be kind to yourself when you slip up because it will happen. Learn from it and get back on track without being too hard on yourself. These small, low-cost steps can contribute greatly to your personal growth or the success of your small business.
