Episode 2988:

Leo Babauta explains that the main challenge in changing our lives is our own thinking. We often get in our own way by being harsh on ourselves, procrastinating, and stressing about uncertainties. These habits stem from coping mechanisms developed over time. Leo suggests mindfulness as a solution: recognizing these patterns, accepting the feeling of uncertainty, and then gently redirecting ourselves back to the task at hand without overreacting or self-criticism.

Quotes to ponder:

"The main reason changing our lives is hard: we get in our own way."

"By practicing the mindfulness of staying with discomfort and uncertainty, we can learn to be comfortable with uncertainty."

"Notice the uncertainty and our desire to run. Stay with it and don’t run. Then act, with gratitude and a smile."
