Life is hard.⁠

And sometimes we make life harder by trying to make it easier.⁠

We have 24/7 access to “easy” things like ordering food delivery, online shopping, scrolling through social media, pouring a glass of wine, watching a number of different streaming services, and so on.⁠

But have you noticed how over-consuming those things leads to feeling worse, not better?⁠

At our core, I believe we are wired for hard work. Our nervous system naturally relaxes after giving something our best effort. We feel complete and content when we are all-in on the life we are wanting to create. ⁠

Chronically reaching for the easy path leaves us feeling anxious and restless. Our true self knows when we are finding little ways to cheat or cut corners throughout the day – which further drives our desire to keep reaching for those instant self-soothing options that are at our fingertips.⁠

This is a brutal cycle to be in. ⁠

If you can relate, ask yourself if there is one area in your life that would benefit from a little more grit and a little less ease. ⁠

💫 How might you feel at the end of the day, knowing you did the things you said you were going to do, without putting things off until later? ⁠

💫 What would happen to your energy level if you worked on a project/task through to completion, even though you wanted to give up?⁠

I’d love to help you learn how to manage these impulses, so that you can finish your days feeling accomplished and ready for more.⁠
