The Motivated Mind

Self-help used to be simple: read a book, take a walk, call your mom. Now it feels like you need a 28-step morning routine, a cold plunge, 17 supplements, and a $90 notebook just to feel like a functioning human being.

In this video, I explore how “comfort creep” quietly makes life feel harder, why small inconveniences start to break us, and what happens when we finally bring a little friction back into our lives.
