Ever wonder why some people stay in the same place, the same situation, surrounded by the same people despite how unhappy they are? It's not that they don't want to change. In fact, it's often the opposite. They want so much to alleviate their depression and anxiety, change their unhealthy eating habits and transform their life. But a fear of change and the work involved can be paralyzing.

If that someone sounds like you, you'll reap a ton of benefits from this post.
