The findings, published in Acta Psychologica, suggest that how we think about personal growth may directly shape our ability to persist through challenges.
Scientists Discover Dual Mechanism in Brain That Balances Adaptability with Stability
You know that voice telling you to wait, to scroll, to try again tomorrow? That’s not you — that’s resistance. It wears your face, speaks in your voice, and feeds on delay. This post exposes the brain’s avoidance reflex and shows you how to break through it — not by waiting for motivation, but by acting despite it.
