From the court to the boardroom, elite performers are always excited to learn new skills. As a coach, the toughest lessons to teach aren't the things you need to start doing, but what you need to stop doing. It doesn't matter how many awesome skills you learn if you don't quit your worst habits.

This is a big one.

Brainstorming solutions is very tempting. Get a little bit creative to address simple challenges, and you walk away feeling good—but you're rarely tackling the underlying issue. If you think about it, the human body is like a case study on the futility of solving problems. If your hip hurts, your hip probably isn't the problem—it's your hamstring or your quad, it's your desk chair or the way you carry your wallet. Everything is connected. You might be able to solve the hip pain with a quick cortisol shot, but that's only a temporary fix. Until you understand the connections, you're just resolving symptoms.

Take a step back from your challenges, and stop trying to solve problems. Your breakthrough is bigger!
