Forget the dramatic gestures and 30-day challenges you see on social media. Real resilience isn't built through one big moment of change - it's forged through the small things you do every single day.
In this episode, I share my personal journey of failed attempts at quitting smoking and drinking through grand announcements, and how I finally succeeded by embracing daily practice and learning from failure. You'll discover why those "movie moment" transformations don't work and what actually does.
What You'll Learn:
• Why big, sweeping gestures fail every time
• How daily habits create unshakeable resilience
• The power of "fail and start again" mentality
• How to build routines that anchor you during chaos
• Why doing hard things daily teaches you that you can do hard things
• The two-fold benefit of daily habits for resilience
Key Takeaways:
I currently track a bunch of daily habits using Habitica, and these small consistent actions have completely transformed my life - from getting kicked out of college multiple times to becoming a successful coach and therapist.
