Hey and Happy New Year!

If you've been a long time listener of this podcast you will know I love James Clear and his book 'Atomic Habits'. It's been my bible of habit change for such a long time now.
James Clear suggests that the most effective way to create lasting change and form new habits is to shift our identity and focus on becoming the type of person who embodies the habits we want to cultivate, as apposed to focusing on outcomes.

Lately I've realized I have been extremely focused on outcome goals and whilst thinking about my new year goals I've decided that I need to be OK with being mediocre, so I can do less but achieve more.
In this episode I'll be discussing 5 reasons mediocrity can help combat perfectionism and why setting mediocre goals for myself is helping me to fight all or nothing thinking and behavior and help me achieve success.

A lot of these concepts were also inspired by James Clear and Greg Mckeown and you can find the links to their books below

Low Waste Cooking And Simple Meal Prep — Interview With Carleigh From Plant You

The goal isn’t to do easy things!
We’re doing that now.
The goal is to become the kind of person where hard things are easy things for YOU.
The power of successful people is they know where to tweak things to make them FEEL easier, more satisfying, more fun, or slip into those behaviours better than other people.
Unsuccessful people think things SHOULD feel easier, but then MAKE them harder.
Successful people think things SHOULD feel hard, but then MAKE them easier.
Once we know the path to success is to conquer hard things, we need to get a clear expectation of what ‘hard’ looks like, and then make them as simple, fun, and easy as possible so we can do them forever.
In this episode, we talk about exactly how to do just that.
