In this episode of the Thrive Method Podcast, we break down why “bad habits” aren’t proof you lack discipline; they’re trained coping patterns that once helped you manage stress, overwhelm, exhaustion, or restriction.

I’ll walk you through the Thrive process for changing habits in a way that actually sticks:

1) Anchor (Why + Identity) – Get clear on who you’re becoming and why it matters.
2) Awareness – Identify the habit and exactly when it shows up.
3) Curiosity (not judgment) – What feelings, emotions, and beliefs sit underneath it?
4) Alignment – Choose the next best action that matches your ultimate self (even at 60%).

You’ll also get a simple real-world strategy to make low “red energy” habits harder to reach… and “green energy” habits easier to follow.

1. What habit frustrates me most right now?

2. When does it usually show up?

3. What emotion sits underneath it?

4. What would my aligned self choose instead - even at 60%?

If you’re stuck in the same cycle, you’re not broken; you just haven’t been shown the pattern yet.
