These Are the Exact Phases You Go Through When You Attempt to Change Your Life
Advice from Jason Capital made me go “I felt like that too.” Mastering this feeling can help you stop quitting a good thing.
TikTok isn’t my idea of fun.
TikTok feels like cheap entertainment. You typically get less than 60 seconds of “content” and then get left feeling groped and empty. So you keep watching more. After two hours, you don’t know where the night went.
A friend sent a video to me by TikToker Jason Capital. The video is about how we go through change. He argues change makes us feel inadequate. Feeling weird is uncomfortable, so we go back to wanting to be comfortable. That’s where our phone plays a role.
Notice when you look at your notifications. It’s right after trying to do a hard task. Notifications are an escape to comfort.
TikTok equals comfort too. It’s better than facing reality and changing. Once you understand the cycles of change, it’s easier to see where you’re getting stuck so you can push through. Otherwise you bounce from task to task and never make the progress that gives you meaning and fulfillment.
