  • #127: Why Avoiding Negativity Isn't Enough to Build a Successful Life
    Jun 7 2024

    Growing is better than weeding!

    In this episode of Habit Masters we discuss the importance of focusing on growth and positivity in your life rather than fixating on eliminating negative habits. We use the metaphor of a garden to illustrate that while weeding is necessary, the primary focus should be on planting and nourishing the good fruits you desire. Cultivating positive habits can crowd out negative ones and lead to a more fulfilling life. Take the next 7-10 days to test out the principle by growing something new in your life.

    ACTION STEP FROM THIS EPISODE
    Pick one thing you want to start growing in your garden of life and commit to spending 5-15 minutes a day for the next 7-10 days in focused energy on that goal. Track it with our free habit tracker and see the positive momentum it can make for you.
