Description

The hardest part of mindset isn’t knowing—it’s choosing. In this episode, Jonathan shares lessons from running five half-marathons in five days and unpacks Lucille Ball’s line: “It doesn’t pay to get discouraged—keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.”

We’ll explore why our brains default to comfort, how to reframe tough circumstances, and a simple plan to keep moving when motivation dips.

You’ll learn:

  • The Act → Reframe → Repeat loop for momentum
  • Practical ways to “keep busy” without burning out
  • How to build a chosen optimism (even if you’re not naturally upbeat)
