Think about the last time you wanted to make a change. How many of us, when seeking that spark of motivation, sit and wait for some external force to suddenly light a fire within us?
It’s a familiar scene: waiting for that one video, that one book, to be the catalyst for our grand ambitions.
It’s easy to say, “I really want to get in shape, but today’s just not the day,” or “I’ve got this business idea, but I’m not feeling it today,” or “I’d love to paint again, but the inspiration isn’t there.”
We’ve all been there. That looming task or dream sits on the horizon, but instead of diving in, we dawdle. Why? Because stepping out of our comfort zone is… well, uncomfortable.
That hesitation, that pull to avoid what’s challenging, isn’t just laziness or lack of discipline. It’s science.
