Are you stuck?
The brain's resistance, also known as the "comfort zone," refers to the natural tendency of the brain to seek familiar, safe, and easy situations while avoiding new challenges or experiences that may be uncomfortable or stressful. While this instinct can serve a protective function, it can also limit personal growth, learning, and achievement.
A moment of reflection...
What one area are you resisting?
• Switching jobs?
• Ending a relationship?
• Changing behavior?
• Stopping the need to please?
• Going after big dreams?
Overcoming the brain's resistance is important to achieving greater success, expanding your skill set, developing confidence, and growing as an individual and professional.
This week on The Coffee with Rhonda Show, we welcome Dr. Haley Nelson joins us to talk more about the neuroscience of change. Mireille Toulekima, Roz Jones, and I look forward to diving into this one.
