Mindset in Motion: Choosing Optimism, Staying Busy, and Doing Hard Things
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)
