041 Willpower is a Lie


Listen Later

Willpower is a dangerous lie we use to beat ourselves up when we can't stay away from chocolate. Or get started on a new morning routine. Or any number of ways we like to "should" ourselves. I think willpower is nonsense and that knowing if you're an all or nothing or moderate type of person will help you finally stick with a new habit.

On today's episode I cover...

  • Why the idea of willpower is a lie
  • Why knowing your own tendencies is more important
  • How you can get into (and stick with) a consistent habit
  • Why I don't bring chocolate into the house unless I plan on eating the whole thing (and other ways I set myself up for success)
