Once you set a goal and step out into a new way of thinking, feeling, and acting, you are going to feel discomfort.

Your brain wants to be efficient, and making a lot of changes takes effort and energy.  So it will fight you to go back to your old patterns of being.

That feeling of discomfort is what we call the River of Misery.

The most important things to know about the River of Misery is that what you are feeling is totally normal and natural, but that you have to manage your mind during this time so you can keep going and fully become this new version of yourself.  That’s the only way to achieve your goal.
