Noteworthy Quotes:

"When we have these underlying fears and we're not even sure what we're afraid of, sometimes that alone can just make it more scary... bringing it up can sometimes make you realize, oh yeah, it makes sense that I would have that fear, but it's actually not that big of a deal because I know how I would handle it."

"Our brains really love clarity and certainty. So when faced with confusion and uncertainty, our brain will usually just tell us, okay, let's work on this later because we don't know what to do... remind yourself that it's okay that I don't know what to do—this is actually part of the process."

"Most of the time we think that we have to start doing the thing and then we'll believe that we're the person who does that thing every day, but it's actually the opposite."

"It's more about stacking the number of days that you do it rather than making sure you have an unbroken chain of doing it every day."

"Our brain is designed to create habits. And so until we train ourselves to create new habits using this method, it will always just be stuck in the old habits."

"I've started doing these things and it's amazing how I have gotten so much work done... achieved big goals that I had been working on for years."
