You don't need to understand the mechanics
The Daily Drip
Why is it so hard to start?
Why is it so hard to bounce back?
Why do we hold ourselves back and "pull punches?"
Yes, there's the nerdy answer around your amygdala and how it impacts decision-making, but you don't need to know all the brain mechanics to do something differently.
One way we can begin to break these thoughts and habits is by asking:
How might I start?
How might I bounce back?
How might I give myself the permission to run with something?
There's no perfect answer to this, but this is a start.
