I’d like to clear something up about behavior change and creating healthy habits: the issue is NOT that we don’t know what to do! We all know which foods are good for us, which exercises to do, and how to maintain healthy relationships. And in the off-chance that you don’t know how to do something, there are endless resources that could answer any question you may have. The issue isn’t that there’s a lack of information. The issue is that we can’t stop getting in our own way. And this is exactly why becoming Indistractable is the skill of the century 💡 Because in order to understand the leading cause of distraction, we have to look within. The uncomfortable emotional states of boredom, loneliness, uncertainty, anxiety, and stress can push us to make unproductive decisions. These uncomfortable emotions aren't character flaws or moral failings. They're completely natural and we all experience them. The issue is that most people haven't learned the skills to deal with emotional discomfort in a healthy way. Until we learn to address the root causes, we'll continue to struggle with distraction -- whether it’s at work, with our families, or with our personal goals. #Indistractable #Health #Emotions #Decisions
