If you want something you never had, you have to do something you've never done.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a rut, unable to make the changes you desperately want? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Thoughtful Mind with Tzvi', host Tzvi Hilsenrath dives deep into why making lasting change is so tough. Tzvi unravels the concept of ambivalence and the mental tug of war that many face when trying to change their lives. It's not just about willpower; it's about understanding the underlying brain patterns that hold us back.
One intriguing highlight is Benjamin Franklin's chart, a tool that breaks down behaviors into smaller, manageable parts. Tzvi explains how this method can help you focus your mental energy effectively, making the process of change less daunting. You'll also hear about the brain's tendency to stick to familiar patterns to minimize effort, which often works against us when we're trying to implement new habits.
Tzvi offers practical advice on identifying negative beliefs and breaking them down, step by step, to overcome the fear of change. This episode is perfect for anyone feeling frustrated by their inability to make progress, offering both insight and actionable steps. Tune in to find out how small, focused changes can lead to big transformations.
