Why is it so easy to brush your teeth every night… but so hard to stick to the habits you really want, like exercising, eating well, or following a health protocol?
In this episode, I dive into Gretchen Rubin’s book Better Than Before and her brilliant framework of the Four Tendencies — Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, and Rebel. Understanding your Tendency can completely change how you approach habits, because it helps you work with your personality instead of against it.
I’ll share:
Why some habits feel effortless, while others feel like a battle
A breakdown of the Four Tendencies, with everyday examples
How knowing your Tendency can help with health habits like taking supplements, exercising, eating well, and following a practitioner’s protocol
My own experience as an Upholder with a Questioner streak and how that plays out in real life
By the end, you’ll see that building healthy habits isn’t about sheer willpower it’s about tailoring them to suit your personality.
