Hack 271 – Tackle Change

We all have a resistance to change when things come up that may alter our comfortable way of living. One way to battle this resistance is to make small changes— even tiny changes help. Say there’s something you have been resisting doing. Try doing it for just five minutes. Anyone can do something for five minutes, right? Re- search new careers for just five minutes. Walk or paint or play an instrument for just five minutes. The goal of these short bursts of time is to find something related to doing that activity that brings you joy. Doing something you hate is possible for a while, but you’ll never stick with it—you need to find some joy in an activity in order to keep on doing it. That’s why you need to find something— anything—that makes you happy about that activity. Once you have, then you’ll be able to change.
