* Take action tip* Stop and jot down any notes as you are listening.

In this episode, we start off the  Mini-series on Habits [ Eps. 01 - 03 ] 

What if I told you that your intuitive understanding of habits might actually be what is keeping you from crafting ones that actually stick long-term?

Lucky for you, in this mini-series, we are going to take a deep dive on habits and upgrade your understanding of these often oversimplified, yet very powerful little guys. 

 🔍 In this episode we will look at: 

• Why an in-depth understanding of habits is ridiculously logical and worth your time 
• What habits really are (clearing up misconceptions) 
• How habits can be incredibly beneficial for us and be our “magic wand” in creating outcomes 
• What the “compounding effect” of habits are

✍🏽 A question to begin journalling on after episode:

• Knowing what you know about habits, how might habits help you in building the outcomes that you want to build?

[ In journaling and brainstorming I like to encourage my clients to visit questions more than once and each time write everything that comes to mind. There is no right or wrong and even if you feel that what you are writing is not exactly on point getting everything out is incredibly helpful. Ultimately, our goal is to get your subconscious (beliefs and ideas you are unaware of) on paper. That can only happen when relaxed and letting yourself answer "what else?". ]

We trust solutions from experts because they have IN-DEPTH understandings of the situation at hand.

So, why would we try to improve things when we have a superficial understanding?

My invitation to you: Upgrade your understandings so YOU can be the expert.

Habits make up about 40-45% of our day and they deserve our attention!

Definition of Habit (According to Merrium-Webster): https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/habit

In a nut-shell:

Habit: A reflex (or nearly)
Behavior: Something you have to make a conscious effort to engage in

The goal with habits: Get rid of the reflexes that serve you and

The beauty of habit: You don't have to rely on motivation or willpower. Things just happen. 

Motivation and willpower work well when they are at their peak, but when chaos comes in, we are more tired, etc. they can drop off. 

Habits withstand crazy / chaos. So . . . if your "habit" keeps falling off, it is likely not a habit yet. 

Just about ANYTHING can be made automatic through habit. 

Habits compound into greater outcomes (either positive or negative) and spill out into other areas of our life.
