Whenever we want to create a new habit, we THINK that it's just as easy as knowing what to do & doing it.
In fact, there's a myth out there that all we have to do to change our behavior is do the thing for 21 days & we're fixed!
LOL!
Anyone who has tried to quit smoking, start exercising or decided that they're going to quit junk food knows that the 21-day thing is a bunch of bunk.
The truth is that creating new behaviors (or quitting established ones) is a lot more complex than we realize. In fact, there are 6 stages of change.
AND we move through them fluidly. Not linearly - meaning that we will revert back to a previous stage or stages & that's totally normal.
If you've ever been frustrated that you've started moving in the right direction with your habits, and then fallen off track, this episode will help you to learn what to do.

If you’re a woman in midlife who wants better health without obsessing over weight, you’re in the right place. I’m Elizabeth Sherman, a life and health coach and host of the Total Health in Midlife Podcast.
After coaching hundreds of women, I know the real problem usually isn’t “not enough information” – it’s too much of it, and not knowing where to start. With close to 300 episodes, this show can feel that way too.
To make it easy, I created a free Listener’s Roadmap that helps you figure out which episodes are right for you right now. Tell me what you’re struggling with – low energy, emotional eating, stress, sleep, exercise, or all of the above – and I’ll point you to a curated path of episodes and resources to get you moving.
