Ever wondered why you keep sliding back into old habits, even when you’re determined to change? In this episode of Unpause Your Life, Dr. Cali Estes and Master Coach Jenny Fontana sit down with Dr. Aksa Yaks, a prominent voice in personal development and transformation. Dr. Yaks, author of 'Stop Calling It Comfort Zone, Be Uncomfortable to Be Comfortable,' shares her groundbreaking technique designed to help people escape their comfort zones and make lasting changes.
She dives into the biochemistry behind our habits and explains how our bodies can trick us into staying in unhealthy patterns. Dr. Yaks recounts her own challenging journey, from personal trauma to moving countries alone, and how these experiences led her to develop a method that addresses the biochemical roots of comfort zones. She argues that our brains sabotage our efforts to change by associating comfort with unhappiness, making it crucial to rewire these associations for true transformation. Dr.
Estes draws parallels between Dr. Yaks’ concepts and addiction recovery, highlighting how the need for certainty often drives addictive behaviours. They discuss how shifting the source of certainty from harmful to harmless can aid in breaking free from addictions. This episode is packed with practical advice and scientific insights, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to make a significant change in their life.
