One thing I keep noticing is that a lot of people think pressure is what creates results (me too BTW).
So when the goal matters more…we increase:
- pressure
- criticism
- urgency
- emotional weight
And then we wonder why we avoid the thing!
Because now the goal isn’t just a goal anymore. Now it feels loaded.
More pressure → more emotional weight → harder to start.
We've built our own pressure cooker and keep turning up the heat... then get frustrated when we don’t want to touch it.
That means that sometimes the problem isn’t lack of discipline. Sometimes the thing has simply become too heavy the way we're carrying it.
Have you accidentally turned something into a pressure cooker lately?
