If You’re Waiting for the “Right Time” to Start — This is for YOU! (Stop Letting Perfection Hold You Back!)

In this episode of "On Purpose," Jay Shetty discusses strategies for overcoming feelings of stagnation and ineffectiveness. He introduces the concept of the "frequency illusion," highlighting how our beliefs influence our perception of reality. Shetty advises against waiting for motivation, instead advocating for small, imperfect actions to build momentum, referencing the Zeigarnik effect. He also suggests breaking mental loops through physical activity, starting before feeling ready, and challenging the myth of the "right time." Shetty emphasizes persistence over talent, encourages listeners to label their emotions to understand the root cause of feeling stuck, and to accept plateaus as periods of necessary growth. Finally, he advises shrinking the vision to achieve small, early wins, which provide the brain with the evidence it needs to keep moving forward.
