What if the problem isn’t that your habits are “good” or “bad” but that they no longer fit who you are or where you’re going? In this episode, we unpack a more nuanced approach to habit change…
So in terms of habits,
what do we want to be looking for? Because it's not really are they just strong or weak, good or bad.
It's so true.
And I think we have all felt that feeling of being stuck and frustrated with our habits.
And you can wander your way into feeling stuck and frustrated, but you can't wander back out.
It takes intention and action to build those habits back up that actually support you.
That's really annoying, actually, to think about the fact that you can unintentionally create habits, but then to break those same habits that were so easy and unintentional in the creation aren't that easy to get rid of.
What process do we have to go through to really start to recognize the habits that aren't serving us?
It's always a great idea to start with kind of an audit and going step by step through your habits and finding...
Which ones actually are supporting you? Which ones are holding you back? Because it's ever evolving.
This is very fluid.
The habits that you built to get to a certain goal aren't necessarily going to be the same ones that carry you through to the next goal.
And that's okay.
It doesn't mean that those habits are bad or wrong.
It just means that they're not strong enough for you anymore.
Because so often we think if we're doing something, it's good or bad, right? And that we're good or bad for doing it.
But really, it's the case of this served you at this point and no longer serves you.
And so something that was good, now if you've shifted something else in your lifestyle, needs to be reflected on and potentially adjusted.
Yes.
Yes, there's no morality here.
There is no good or bad.
And you get to decide what actually serves you or not.
You get to decide what your environment looks like.
