Stillness Speaks

A New Approach To Cultivating Good Habits


Listen Later

In this episode, I explore the concept of habit formation, contrasting the ease with which negative habits develop against the challenges of establishing positive ones. I suggest that instead of rigid goal-setting, a more gentle and natural approach to cultivating good habits can lead to sustainable change. By allowing ourselves to enjoy the process and recognizing our body's innate desire for well-being, we can foster healthier lifestyles without the pressure of forceful motivation.
