Often we fail to change because we don’t really understand WHY we do what we do.
In this episode we tackle the pressing issue of making change that lasts. We understand the struggles you face in your attempts to break free from unwanted habits and routines.
Join us as we dive into the importance of understanding the why behind our behaviors and adopting a more long-term perspective.
The truth is, we can't change without changing. We can't stay the same and have a better life.
Today we unlock the secret to changing your life and making it stick!

ACTION STEP FROM THE EPISODE:
Consider any negative habit or action you want to change. Get curious about what want or desire that action seems to fill in the short-term. There's a reason you keep going back to it. Next think of what positive action or behavior could replace the negative action—now using your long-term vision of who you want to be and commit to why it will serve you better. The real key is to move beyond the immediate satisfaction to a more purposeful goal.
