Bruce Dougherty argues that failing to stick with healthy habits isn't about discipline but unresolved emotional wounds. These wounds freeze your ability to set boundaries, sabotage your joy, and fuel self-doubt that derails progress.
Look, I get it. Growing just doesn't feel easy. It can be tough to maintain those new and healthy behaviors that you're, you're trying to implement into your life. There's a reason for that. It's because it's not a discipline issue, it's a wound issue. You plan to set boundaries but freeze when someone pushes back. You dream of more, but then you sabotage your own joy. You start things off strong but then fall off when self-doubt creeps in. You're not lazy, you're not unmotivated, you're buried in emotional pain that keeps interrupting your progress.
