Why Change is so Hard!
In this episode we discussed the Prototype idea from our previous conversation and tested various creative block scenarios against it, finding that most passed. Feeling confident, we applied it to tackle our perfectionism, but the process felt unnatural and hindered our creativity. This tension made us doubt our ability to create, highlighting the struggle of breaking away from familiar, comfortable patterns. We reflect on how changing our approach can feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar, a concept supported by Joe Dispenza's insights into the neurological and biochemical basis of habit and change. Dispenza explained that our thoughts produce chemicals that create feelings, which then influence more thoughts, creating a feedback loop that defines our state of being. Embracing the discomfort of the unknown and pushing beyond familiar habits is crucial for genuine change and creative growth.
