In this episode, Johnny Lawrence explores the emotional challenges that come with making behaviour changes, especially during the New Year when many people set resolutions. He discusses the common difficulty of staying motivated after the initial excitement wears off. 
Johnny emphasises that the main obstacle to change often isn’t a lack of knowledge about what to do, but rather the emotional responses that arise when trying to alter habits. Drawing on his experience as a personal trainer, he highlights the importance of being emotionally aware and tolerant. He argues that many individuals revert to old behaviours not out of weakness, but as a way to cope with uncomfortable feelings.

Takeaways
👉 Change isn't hard because you don't know what to do.
👉 We avoid emotions, not habits.
👉 Emotional capacity is key to sustainable change.
👉 Change creates emotions that disrupt our nervous system.
👉 Self-sabotage is often a form of self-protection.
