Episode 041 - Behavior Change: Beware of the Actual Slippery Slope 

The Influence Every Day Show with Dr. Tori

Small compromises often pave the way for major setbacks, particularly in the realm of personal growth and habit formation. This episode highlights the subtle yet powerful phenomenon of “deal-making” with oneself, exploring how justifications, limiting beliefs, and decision fatigue erode progress.

  • Discover actionable strategies to resist these pitfalls, including:
  • Recognizing and naming self-sabotaging deal-making behaviors.
  • Designing environments to support your desired habits and disrupt unwanted ones.
  • Leveraging tracking as a momentum-builder and feedback tool.
  • Publicly committing to your goals with the right accountability partners.
  • Learn how to make deliberate choices, break free from the cycle of self-compromise, and build lasting habits. Plus, hear why tracking your progress can be more reliable than your perception and how to ride the wave of motivation without letting fatigue derail you.

    Explore why minor deviations in goals and ethics often snowball and how to resist the slippery slope of concessions. Armed with these insights, you’ll be better equipped to navigate challenges, maintain momentum, and influence your own behavior for lasting change.
