Why Do You Support Everyone Except Yourself?
Video masterclass
Stop Waiting for Things to Get Better
Stop waiting for things to get better. Three steps to overcome pain: create an end goal, face what happens if you don’t, then flip fear into courage now. Watch the full session below — then open the video page for notes, timestamps, and related guides.
You’re so quick to help everyone else
You can be scrolling and see someone’s ACL surgery-to-soccer story. You feel something. You’re glad they pushed past their fear, anxiety and hesitation. That feeling is real — and it’s a trap if it replaces the work you still haven’t done.
In Stop waiting for things to get better we challenge you to put that same energy back into yourself. Watch on YouTube.
The most important person in your life
We will show up for teammates, partners, kids, even strangers in a comments section. When it comes to helping ourselves, we go last. That’s crazy when you say it out loud: you are the most important person in your own life — and you keep putting yourself at the bottom of the list.
Instant gratification makes this worse. Other people’s wins arrive in seconds. Your win is a rainy gym session after a long day. Guess which one the nervous system prefers.
How to reverse it this week
- When you catch yourself celebrating someone else’s comeback, write one action you’ll take for yours in the next 24 hours.
- Protect one session like you would protect someone else’s. Don’t cancel it for convenience.
- Pair the physical session with one mindset brick from Brick By Brick.
That’s how you stop waiting for things to get better — you stop outsourcing the story.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do other people’s recoveries feel easier to celebrate than my own?
Their story is a dopamine hit with no cost. Yours requires showing up on the days you’d rather stay home. Instant gratification prefers their highlight reel to your unglamorous session.
Is putting myself first selfish during rehab?
You’re the most important person in your own life. Supporting yourself is how you become the parent, teammate and friend who can actually show up later.
