Episode notes
Path Through the Meadow
- Dr. Terriban uses the analogy of a path worn through a field to illustrate ingrained habits.
- Creating a new path takes time, just like changing behavior, but it's important to begin.
Habits as Paths
- Established habits are like well-worn paths, making change challenging but not impossible.
- Each day you repeat old behaviors strengthens the existing pathways and makes it harder to build new ones.
Start Today
- Start working towards your goals today, even if it seems daunting.
- Delaying action only makes the task harder in the long run.
