What if the very things that make you feel comfortable are the things keeping you from reaching your health goals?

In this episode, I’m referencing a children’s book about a little tree who refuses to let go of his leaves because they’re familiar and comfortable.

The problem? He can’t grow.

And eventually, he finds himself in the exact same place, season after season, because he keeps holding onto the very thing that’s keeping him stuck.

Sound familiar?

Sometimes we do the same thing with our health. We keep choosing the habits, routines, thought patterns, and behaviors that feel safe and comfortable…while expecting a different result.

We tell ourselves we’ll change when we feel more motivated. When life calms down. When we’re more confident. When we’re ready.

But growth often requires doing something that feels uncomfortable first.

In this episode, we’ll talk about what The Little Tree can teach us about your health and wellness journey, and why taking a chance on yourself might mean finally letting go of something you’ve been holding onto for far too long.

At the end of the episode, I’ll give you a simple challenge: identify one thing you’ve been doing over and over again that isn’t getting you where you want to go…and consider what might happen if you were willing to do something different.

You don’t have to completely reinvent your life.

You just have to be willing to let go of something that’s keeping you from growing.
