It's estimated that 40 percent of our daily actions and decisions happen automatically without thought.

These behaviors, more commonly known as habits, have a great influence on our results, outcomes, identity, and reality, which means it’s crucial to understand how to build new habits, and how to reconstruct ones no longer serving us to make lasting progress in any area of our life.

Forming a new habit is difficult often not because the task itself is challenging, rather, because unlearning past conditioning and behaviors is the challenge. Years - if not decades - of learned behavior isn't undone in a night - or even a week. However, this process can be streamlined when it's simplified.

In this episode, Paul and Micheala talk through nine specific factors that help make new habits stick. But they also discuss how to begin accelerating the time period to unlearning the habits no longer serving you.

After listening to this episode, you'll gain the confidence to start taking action today to build the life you want to live, and the person you want to become!
