Our brain likes to follow the beaten path, so we continue to waste time on jobs we don’t like, stay in unpromising relationships, hold on to bad habits, and are afraid to take risks and take responsibility. But in order to stop putting life off until later, you need to break the endless cycle of self-sabotage and get out of the rut: stop comparing yourself to others, get rid of passivity, fear and self-flagellation. Business coach and productivity expert Byron Morrison talks about how to do this in his book. It will help you release the seven holding patterns that keep you from moving forward. When you try something new—even something you think will contribute to success, happiness, or achieving your goals—your brain is essentially screaming, “Don’t do it! Leave everything as it is!” Even if you are not satisfied with what is happening in life, the brain is more comfortable dealing with what is already known. In the end, you at least survived what happened, no matter with what difficulty and difficulty. By this logic, what we have now is much safer than anything new. Exercises, practical advice and questions for reflection make this book an indispensable assistant for anyone who wants to achieve real results in life. You will never be able to completely control what is happening around you, but one thing You can always control - it’s the choice of the nature of your response. Take failure for example. When you don't get the results you want, it's easy to feel like a failure and convince yourself that it will happen again and again. But is it? Is this guaranteed? Just because something bad happened once does not mean it will happen again. And if something does happen, then a negative experience makes it possible to learn what not to do next time, so as not to fail again. That's why every failure is a step towards finally doing it right.
