Removing Friction

Before you try to increase your willpower, try to decrease the friction in your environment.

— James Clear —

Reflection

When I read the opening quote, I thought about all the people who desire to change or create a new habit and think the only way to do it is through sheer willpower.

Effective and productive change may occasionally happen through willpower, but it takes more than will for most.

Eliminate Impediments

Suppose you’re thinking about embarking upon a new journey or possibly enhancing your current journey. If either is the case, I suggest you take an inventory of everything that could potentially create friction and impede your progress and remove them to signify the start of a new journey.

The best “starts” often begin with the most effective “stops.”

 

Oh, and by the way–the most significant “friction” is negative self-talk.


Matthew 11:28-29, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
