Thereâs a projector in our minds, and itâs constantly playing a movie about how weâd like things to be, our ideals about the world, our expectations of how things will turn out, how others should be, [and] how we should be.
The Mind Movie is what stands in our way of making habit changes. It tells us that changing a habit should be easy and fun, but the reality is that we must wander outside our comfort zone.
The Childish Mind is the part of our mind that complains about how things are, that fears discomfort, that just wants pleasure and comfort, that doesnât want things to be difficult.

A key habit skill is learning to flow around the disruptions and just keep going.
Notice feelings of discomfort and uncertainty, and stay with them. Get to know them. Get intimate with these feelings.
When we experience groundlessness â a feeling of not being anchored, not certain, things not going our way, a feeling of loss â our minds donât normally like it.

Watch an urge gently, without judgment or wishing the feeling werenât there. Treat it like a friend, kindly. And see that this feeling is impermanent, just arises but will pass, like a cloud. This is the whole meditation: just watch with curiosity and kindness, not attaching to the feeling or needing to act on it.
Tell yourself you can do this, youâre strong, you got this. And be realistic in that things wonât go as planned, but those are learning opportunities. In the long run, youâre going to make it, because youâre worth it.
