Ever noticed that the more you avoid something, the bigger it feels?
That email you haven’t answered. That decision you keep delaying. That task you push to next week over and over.
Here’s why: Avoidance is an open loop. Your brain doesn’t forget—it just keeps reminding you that something is unresolved. The more you resist, the more mental space it takes up.
But avoidance isn’t just exhausting—it’s damaging. Every time you avoid something you know you need to do, you chip away at your self-trust. You reinforce the belief that you can’t count on yourself to follow through.
💡 What you avoid, persists. But what you close, builds self-trust and self-leadership. Every closed loop is a signal to your brain: I follow through. I keep my word. I take action.
Your Friday Focus: Break the Avoidance Loop & Rebuild Trust
✅ Step 1: Identify One Thing You’re Avoiding
Look at your week. What’s the one thing you’ve been putting off? Be honest—you already know what it is.
✅ Step 2: Take One Small Step
You don’t have to solve the whole thing today. But you do have to move it forward. One email, one decision, one action. That’s how you shrink resistance and rebuild trust in yourself.
✅ Step 3: Share a #LoopWin
Leave a comment and tell me: What avoidance loop did you just close?
Your action might just inspire someone else to do the same.
🔹 Every closed loop is proof: You are someone who follows through. Close it today and step into self-leadership.
Close the loops. Win the game. #NoOpenLoops
