Do you find yourself falling short of your plans with the 3 reasons?

[@njones8190]

it's the gratification for me

[@lemongrassbb6483]

The habit of not having habits gets me every time lmao

[@kayann3]

This is what I needed.

[@mindfulnesswithmatt]

so glad you found it helpful!

[@crystalgonzales4534]

One month in, and I've failed already, lol. Thanks for the advice. Now I can change the way I approach change 😆

[@mindfulnesswithmatt]

here's hoping for change that is more sustainable for you!

Great video
Good luck Matt🌟

[@mindfulnesswithmatt]

Thank you for watching! 😌

[@lemongrassbb6483]

Thank you for these reminders right ahead of the new year with all its pressure to „change.“
In our society we have truly put comfort and ease on such a pedestal that we forget that these things don’t equal happiness. Reminding myself of that is a constant battle. Sometimes it‘s neither convenience nor super hard work that make us happy but a sustained effort.

[@mindfulnesswithmatt]

yes! small and consistent steps rather than bursts of overhaul followed by prolonged periods of convenience/ comfort win the race

[@nataliiinn]

i really like the section on premature gratification! Super interesting perspective

[@mindfulnesswithmatt]

something people don't talk enough about!
