The Real Reason You’re Making Things Harder than They Actually Are (+ What to Do Instead)
from Earn Your Happy · host Lori Harder | YAP Media
How often do you avoid doing something not because it’s hard, but because the thought of doing it feels overwhelming? Chris and I dive into how resistance keeps you stuck, delays success, and creates unnecessary stress in your life and business. Chris shares how he almost talked himself out of a simple trip to visit his mom because of the anticipation of discomfort and how it turned out to be so much easier than expected. We also break down what science says about why our brains exaggerate discomfort before it happens and the mindset shift that will help you stop wasting energy on stress and start moving forward faster.
