Traditional advice says that it takes 21 days to get into a habit that we want to create or out of a habit that we don't want to do anymore.
Anyone who has tried to change their habits knows that it might be a bit longer than that - especially if we've had the habit for most of our lives.
I used to get so frustrated with myself. Why couldn't I get my shiz together & just stop eating after dinner? I mean really - why was it so hard? "You just DON'T eat after dinner. You just don't do it anymore," I'd tell myself.
I tried distracting myself with adult coloring books, painting my nails, chewing gum, all the things.
But they never worked.
In this episode, you'll learn how to stop doing habits that don't serve you anymore; whether it's the endless snacking that happens between when you come home to when you eat dinner or go to bed, that mid-afternoon sugar craving, or even something as simple as not scratching mosquito bites.
Tune in to learn how to manage your urges.

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.
