    The Illusion of the Fresh Start

    In this conversation, Dr. Nashay Lowe explores the concept of fresh starts and resolutions, questioning their effectiveness in facilitating real change. She emphasizes that true transformation comes not from declarations but from the systems and environments we create around ourselves. By examining the difference between wanting change and designing for it, she highlights the importance of supportive structures that can sustain us through challenges. Dr. Lowe also critiques the glamorization of change, advocating for a more honest approach that acknowledges our imperfections and the realities of life. Ultimately, she encourages listeners to build systems that support their growth, even on imperfect days. Key Takeaways The illusion of a fresh start can be comforting but often leads to familiar patterns.Real change requires supportive environments and consistent habits.Resolutions place too much emphasis on a single decision rather than ongoing effort.Wanting change is different from designing for it; systems are crucial.Most people struggle not due to lack of willpower but because of inadequate structures.Systems help reduce friction and make desired behaviors easier to achieve.Change is often unremarkable and requires consistent effort rather than dramatic breakthroughs.Building systems for the person you actually are is essential for sustainable growth.Expecting change to feel exciting can hinder its sustainability.Meaningful change comes from a steady relationship with supportive systems. 🌟 Rate  🙆🏾‍♀️ Join the Community 🛍️ Shop ☕ 1:1 Sessions 🎤 Speaking Requests: https://www.loweinsights.com 🎶 Music License: YHLX3CWSWGWNCJZT Hosted on Acast.
