The Truth About Trying

To say that you will try when someone offers you a new task or a new habit to implement is deeply ingrained in our culture. We use the word “try” in various ways, and we aren’t even aware of what the energy of this word or phrase is doing to us.

 

In this episode, we break down what it really means when we respond with “I’ll try.” Additionally, we explore alternatives to this common yet misguided phrase so that we set ourselves up to live authentically.
