Episode Overview: In this episode, we dive deep into a powerful quote by Stephen R. Covey: “To know and not do, is to not know.” This thought resonates profoundly with our community, who often express that they know what they should be doing but struggle to take action. We explore the idea that perhaps we don’t truly know what to do, and that the barriers we face might be deeper than we realize.

Key Takeaways:

Understanding Barriers: Many people think their lack of action is simply about motivation or discipline (e.g., not making it to the gym or not eating enough fruits and vegetables). However, there are often hidden barriers preventing us from following through on what we "know" we should be doing.

Peeling Back the Layers: True growth requires us to be open to exploring our underlying beliefs and habits that may be holding us back. Change can be uncomfortable, but it’s essential to recognize that if we change nothing, nothing will change.

Real-Life Examples:

A conversation with a client about her resistance to working out revealed two key barriers: the comfort of TV after a long day and a disbelief in the results of exercise. Understanding these barriers allowed for a meaningful discussion about how to overcome them.

Another client struggled to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into her diet due to a fear of wasting food. By uncovering this barrier, we discussed practical solutions like freezing excess produce, which helped her achieve her dietary goals.

Actionable Steps:

Reflect on Your Barriers: Take time to identify what might be holding you back from taking action. Are there beliefs or habits that need to be addressed?

Experiment with Change: Try small, manageable adjustments in your daily routine. For example, swap out TV time for a short walk with music to make movement feel more enjoyable.

Uncover Hidden Beliefs: Challenge the notion that a result is unattainable for you. Engage in activities that allow you to experience the benefits of movement or healthy eating firsthand.

Join the Conversation: Are you ready to dig deeper and break through your barriers? Tune in to explore how understanding “to know and not do, is to not know” can shift your perspective and propel you into action.

Closing Thoughts: Remember, the journey to self-discovery and action isn’t always straightforward. It requires patience, curiosity, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. Let’s embark on this journey together!
