161: Willpower Doesn't Work. Here's What To Do Instead To Live A Healthier Life


Listen Later

Despite popular belief, willpower is NOT something you should rely on when attempting to cultivate a healthy lifestyle.

Willpower is fleeting, limited, and in some cases, self-sabotaging. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly why we should not solely focus on will when building healthy habits and what to do instead.

You'll learn:

  • How our willpower gets depleted
  • The link between willpower and self-image
  • The SHOCKING truth about how willpower reliance keeps us stuck
  • Tips for building a healthy habit when willpower is lacking
  • The attitude you need to cultivate to achieve your health goals
  • How working on your beliefs and self-identify will improve your success

If you frequently struggle to stay on track and resist temptation, this episode will be an absolute GAMECHANGER!
