Description

50% of the time, you're pretty much a mindless walking zombie with little to no control over your actions.

Don't believe me?

Start asking yourself every 15 minutes why you're doing what you're doing, and you'll be surprised.

This is our brain’s strategy to avoid overwhelm. We all know how exhausting it is to learn something new.

After practicing for a while, we don’t even think about it because we've formed a new… habit.

In this episode, you will learn about:

* Habits and their impact on your life

* What is a habit loop

* Immediate reward vs. ultimate reward

* Why bad habits come easily

* How to break a bad habit

I'm sure you'll enjoy listening to the episode, and we hope it inspires you to start creating new habits centered around joy.

Task of the Week

Define your keystone habits and most detrimental habits that, if changed, could significantly improve one thing in your life.

If you wish to learn more about habits, check out these books:

* "Atomic Habits" by James Clear

* "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg

* "Tiny Habits” by BJ Fogg

* "Mini Habits" by Stephen Guise
