Nobody talks about how boring real change actually is.

No breakthrough moment.
No dramatic turning point.
No version of you that suddenly arrives.

Just Tuesday morning.
Same routine. Again and again.

The walk you didn't feel like taking.
The water instead of the drink.
The early sleep when everyone else was still up.
Repeated so many times it stopped feeling like effort.

That's it.
That's the whole secret.
Real transformation isn't something that happens to you.
It's something you do so quietly, so consistently,
that one day you look back and barely recognize who you were.

The boring stuff built me.

It'll build you too.

Follow @MindRebuilt for the unglamorous side of real change.

Sometimes being in a terrible situation rather than just “bad enough” is better when you are trying to change your life.

Extreme situations is what pushes people to change, not somewhere in the middle.

[MindRebuilt @MindRebuilt]

@SahilBloom So true. Perception is such a crucial piece of navigating life in a positive….or negative. And if one had to choose how to view things, why not always positive 🙏☺️

[MindRebuilt @MindRebuilt]

Stop focusing so much on your goals and the outcomes.

Start setting standards for yourself that you never go below.

Once you have standards in place a lot of things in life become easier and you start to enjoy the process of who you are becoming a lot more.

Stop trying to fix the external and put all of your focus on the internal.

That’s where the magic happens.

[MindRebuilt @MindRebuilt]

Most of us wake up everyday without thinking much about these two things:

1. Knowing how to get what we want
2. Knowing what’s worth wanting.

I read this in “Clear Thinking” by Shane Parrish.

Something hit me hard in one of the last chapters where he tells a story of a gentleman he knew who had climbed the “Hedonic Treadmill” of the corporate world.

He was a lion as he described himself.
He had wealth, status and was an alpha.

But when he had retired he quickly realized how wrong he was.

All of his “friends” who had played golf with him stopped hanging out and returning his calls.

The man had completely disregarded everything else to attain all of the external things we all think are of the utmost importance and value. Money, power and status over relationships and being present and connected to the people you care about.

Reading that passage made me realize that I already have most of the things that I really care about. It comes down to continuing to nurture those things along the way without losing sight of how beautiful and important they are to you without getting trapped on the treadmill or what “society” tells us is important.

Try this experiment for a week: don’t pay so much attention to the external and start focusing on the internal and see what changes you see.

If you procrastinate, you may want to read this:

Procrastination isn't laziness.

It's your brain choosing 10 seconds of relief over 10 days of peace.

Every time you delay, your nervous system learns one thing: That avoidance works.

So it offers it to you again. And again.

Until the task you were avoiding is now a weight you carry everywhere, even when you're not thinking about it.

The anxiety you feel isn't from the task.
It's from the version of yourself that still hasn't done it.

The fix isn't discipline.
It's understanding that starting, imperfectly, is the only thing that actually dissolves the weight.

Clarity doesn't come before action.
It comes because of it.

→ Follow @MindRebuilt for more on breaking the cycles that keep you stuck.

[MindRebuilt @MindRebuilt]

Another thing I feel is also important to note is that doing the right thing can also be a difficult decision to make.

It could be leaving a job you've been wanting to leave for a while. Or getting out of a toxic relationship.

We often procrastinate doing the right thing. But like Lewis said, do that thing whatever it may be and trust that everything else falls into place.🙏

[MindRebuilt @MindRebuilt]

@LewisHowes Take the risk, overthinking the thing you wanted to do will only create more long term suffering in the mind. Just jump in the water before you feel ready!

[MindRebuilt @MindRebuilt]

If you are afraid of failure then read this:

“To try and fail is at least to learn; to fail to try is to suffer the inestimable loss of what might have been” - Chester Barnard.

This quote hits hard because it made me think of all the times I was afraid to take action on certain things.

To start that project.
To speak up to something or someone.

Avoidance of failure guarantees that you will never succeed.

The good news is that can change the moment you decide to change.

Start with small daily commitments.

Grab a piece of paper and write an x for 30 days straight that you did something that scared you.

You will feel different after those 30 days.

@LewisHowes People pleasing.

[MindRebuilt @MindRebuilt]

Most breakup advice is garbage.

“Time heals everything.”

“There’s plenty of fish in the sea.”

Nobody wants to hear that at midnight when they can’t breathe.

What actually helps?

Understanding that you are NOT your pain.

You are the person experiencing it.

And experiences end.

I sat with a friend today going through one of the hardest storms of their life.

I didn’t have magic words.

I just reminded them of one thing:

Temporary pain held onto permanently becomes a prison you built inside yourself.

Feel it. Face it. Then let it move through you.

That’s not weakness. That’s the hardest thing a human being can do.

If this hit home: follow @MindRebuilt.

I write about rebuilding your mind, your habits and your life.

One post at a time.

[MindRebuilt @MindRebuilt]

If you’ve ever set a big goal for sobriety, fitness, or rebuilding your mind… only to crash and burn when life (or ADHD) hits: this one’s for you.

Have to thank @SahilBloom for this one!🙏🫶

I used to think consistency meant being perfect every day. That mindset kept me stuck in the cycle for over a decade.

Then I learned his ABC Goal System. Game-changer for anyone who struggles with follow-through.

It’s simple:

• A Goal = Your best-day, in-the-zone target (stretch goal)

• B Goal = Realistic base case (what good days look like)

• C Goal = Minimum Viable Goal which would be the “anything above zero compounds” level.

On fire days → hit A.
Okay days → hit B.
Bad days (we all have them) → just hit C. No guilt.

Example from my own journey (sobriety + mental toughness):
• A: 60 min deep work + workout + journal + no triggers.

• B: 30 min focused work + 20 min walk + daily check-in.

• C: 5 min meditation/breathing + drink water + stay sober today.

Even on my worst days, hitting C kept the streak alive. That’s how real change compounds when you’ve failed a hundred times before.

Perfectionism is the silent killer for people like us. The ABC system makes consistency human.

Stop waiting to “feel motivated.” Build systems that work even when you don’t.
Pick one area you keep failing at (habits, exercise, focus) and define your A/B/C today.

Drop your ABCs in the replies.

I’ll check them out and cheer you on. 👇

This is why you are not changing:

I was stuck in bad habits and addictions for over a decade and it wasn’t until a few years ago where a few things started to click and change was possible:

1. The first step was awareness and this is with all things in life. You cannot change or focus on something if you are no aware of it

2. Identity shifting: I started to see myself differently. That includes your inner self talk. Instead of saying “I’m trying to quit smoking” I would start saying this to myself “I’m not a smoker” or “I work out like an athlete”

You have to start seeing and speaking to yourself in a new way and that becomes who you are. Your identity.

3. You environment. This one is huge. Start meeting and hanging out with people you look up to and are already ahead in the journey.

Share this with someone who needs it and who you deeply care about👇

@LewisHowes Love it! 🙌

[MindRebuilt @MindRebuilt]

Take the risk.

Most of it these days is psychological anyways.

We aren’t running away from a predator anymore.

What’s a risk you are willing to take today?👇

[MindRebuilt @MindRebuilt]

If you’ve ever struggled to stick to BIG goals, you can use this hack that I picked up reading Katy Milkman’s book “How to Change”

Cash commitment devices!

The idea is simple:

Pick something that you want to achieve within a given time frame. If you don’t hit that goal, you pay a cash fine (essentially a penalty).

This could be to your friend, a charity you like or don’t like (anti charity).

Self imposed constraints sound counterintuitive, but the research shows they can be very effective.

If you’ve tried and failed at hitting your goals in the past, or you simply keep procrastinating (like I have) give cash commitments a try next time you want to hit a big goal or milestone.👇

@SahilBloom Incredibly insightful!!! This highlights exactly what I am going through right now. Time to have some difficult conversations😅
