Why Making Things Easy Backfires

Making things easy can help you start.
But it doesn’t train you to stay.

This video looks at why ease often backfires over time — not because ease is wrong, but because it quietly trains how you respond when things stop feeling comfortable.

It’s an invitation to notice what ease has been rehearsing in you…
and what it hasn’t.

⬇ Journaling Prompt: When something stops feeling easy, what do I usually do next? Do I stay present with the discomfort, or do I pull away? What does my body do first? ⬇

Hi, I’m Mike Wang. I’ve spent nearly 30 years training in Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Qigong—not just as movement, but as a path to regulate the nervous system, retrain emotional patterns, and build steady inner presence. In 2007, I opened a martial and healing arts studio in Boulder, Colorado, where I still teach today.

My work blends ancient Eastern practice with modern neuroscience and somatic training to help growth-minded people shift out of stress, overthinking, and reactivity—and into calm, clarity, and conscious action.

If outer success hasn’t brought the inner steadiness you’re looking for, subscribe and stay tuned. What you train becomes who you are. Let’s train something worth living.

You’ve trained for success. Now train for alignment.

You’ve built your body, your career, your craft. But when it comes to your inner world—your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system—there’s no structured plan. Just scattered tools and short-term relief.

The Inner Foundation Method (http://smpl.ro/ifm) is a 12-week contemplative training program designed for high-functioning, growth-minded individuals who are ready to build consistency and calm on purpose.

If you’re done relying on willpower to manage stress, and you want to stop reacting from old emotional patterns that don’t match the life you’ve worked so hard to create—this is your next step.

This isn’t therapy. And it’s not mindset coaching.

It’s training—for the part of you that drives everything else.
