Let’s get unstuck

Trying to implement positive changes in your life can feel like pushing a boulder uphill.

June 13, 2022

Hey there —

Trying to implement positive changes in your life can feel like pushing a boulder uphill.

You know *something* needs to change but it can feel impossible to know where to even begin.

You want to be someone who’s fitter, healthier, calmer, and just plain better ― but you have zero clue where to start (so you end up doing nothing).

You know you need to take action ― but your energy and motivation are absolutely nowhere to be found.

And every time you muster up the strength to gain the slightest bit of momentum, a roadblock sends you toppling back down to square one.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way…

That’s why Matt D’Avella and the team at Slow Growth created The Unstuck Challenge!

It’s a FREE 5-day challenge designed to push you through the discomfort of change so you can gain clarity and start creating a meaningful life on your own terms.

Over 5 days, you’ll get a video from Matt to help you:

  • Pinpoint the exact parts of your life you’re dissatisfied with.

  • Visualize the life you want to live ― no matter what others say.

  • Let go of the past baggage and mindset blocks that have been holding you back.

  • Get crystal clear on the ONE area of your life to focus on improving first.

We hope to see you there! And now a few articles to get your week started nice and slowwwww.

Read More: My System For Reading 100 Books A Year

Article | by Darius Foroux

You don’t have to read two books a week to get the most from a reading habit. In fact, the very thought of reading that much might throw you into a talespin of “Where do I find the time??” But if you want to start reading more (even if it’s just a book a month), Darius Foroux has a few simple tips to help you turn more pages this year.

Two of our favorites? Buying books in bulk, and reading more than one book at a time.

Stop Waiting for Your Soul Mate

Article | by Arthur C. Brooks

If you’re like 86% of Americans who believe in true love, this might be a tough read. But it’s an important one.

Because even though finding love can be bliss, it can also make you prone to fall for the “arrival fallacy” — the belief that once a certain circumstance is attained, everything will be okay and stay that way forever. But that’s not how love (or anything else) works.

By examining our assumptions about romance, Arthur C Brooks, professor at Harvard Business School, challenges us to consider how unrealistic expectations could be impacting more than just our love life.
