## Resource

Feel like nothing is going your way? In this episode, I break down the psychology of turning it around when you’re stuck in a rut. The key is to understand the role of inertia and momentum in human behavior and why small, strategic wins are essential to changing direction. Learn how to start winning in life by (temporarily) lowering your threshold of achievement and building “win chains” that create real emotional force.
