Difficult-Difficult
The things that actually change your health don't look like hard work. But they're the hardest things most people never do.
Last week we talked about difficult-easy. The exhausting hamster wheel that feels like effort but goes nowhere.
Today I want to talk about the other side.
Difficult-difficult.
Difficult-difficult is also uncomfortable. Sometimes even terrifying. But it's the stuff that actually promotes real, lasting change.
And here's the surprising part. It rarely looks like what you'd expect "hard work" to be.
Here's what difficult-difficult actually looks like:
✅ Slowing down and being mindful instead of rushing through everything
✅ Following a simple plan consistently, even when motivation disappears
✅ Carefully prioritizing what actually matters instead of doing everything at once
✅ Noticing and sitting with uncomfortable feelings instead of eating through them
✅ Being comfortable with mistakes and uncertainty instead of needing to be perfect
✅ Taking a recovery day when every part of you says you should be doing more
✅ Practicing self-compassion instead of self-criticism when things go wrong
I encourage you to look at your daily activities and workload, and see what’s difficult-difficult.
Can you shift your time, energy, and attention towards what’s challenging but rewarding, and away from activities that “drain your tank” or waste your time, without giving anything back?
