Breaking Free: Understanding the Sunk Cost Fallacy

Episode Overview

  • The sunk cost fallacy can trap you in unwanted habits.
  • Past investments in relationships or identities can become prisons.
  • Challenge what you're holding onto out of fear rather than love.
  • Living a self-led life involves embracing change and growth.
  • Freedom lies in choosing where to invest your time next.
You're not holding on because you love it. You're holding on because letting go feels like admitting you've wasted your entire life.
Ever wondered why you're stuck in a cycle of habits you despise? In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy tackles the puzzling 'Sunk Cost Fallacy' – a concept that might just explain why you keep pouring that glass of wine despite hating it.

He shares strategies for embracing change and living a self-led life, encouraging listeners to burn the blueprint of their past and find freedom on the other side.

So, are you ready to challenge your beliefs and step into a future led by your true self? Dive into this enlightening conversation and discover how letting go can be the first step toward living a life that's truly yours.
