Why You Feel Stuck: 100 Reasons People Are Unhappy and What To Do About It

Rohan Parrant Season 1 Episode 25

In this solo episode of the Rohan Parrant Method, I dive deep into the psychology of self-improvement, performance, and what really holds us back from living a fulfilling life. No guest this time — just me, unpacking the layered reasons so many of us feel stuck or dissatisfied despite having all the tools at our disposal.

This episode is a real-time exploration of mindset, fitness, lifestyle design, and the often-overlooked nuances of progress. I break down 100 reasons why people feel unhappy — from lack of clarity and poor routines to the fear of taking risks and avoiding discomfort. I also share personal reflections on motivation, resilience, and the non-negotiable role of self-responsibility in becoming who you’re meant to be.

If you’re feeling like something’s not quite right — even if things look good on the outside — this conversation will help you reconnect with your inner compass, take stock, and make your next move with purpose.

Key Takeaways:

  • If you’re not measuring progress, you’re just guessing. Tracking matters.
  • Gratitude is essential — without it, fulfilment becomes almost impossible.
  • You get to choose your hard. Growth always comes with discomfort.
  • Investing in yourself is the most powerful decision you can make.
  • Motivation gets you started — but discipline and clarity keep you going.
