Today I’m talking about breaking bad habits, and what specifically you need to change so that you aren’t relying on your self-control to break a bad habit.

This information can be very applicable to any bad habit, but in this episode I’ll be giving you practical advice for breaking a sugar habit.

Let’s take a look at a few highlights of this episode…

>> [04:20] Your self-control is usually like willpower, it fades quickly and is not a reliable means to use for habit change. As James Clear says on page in Atomic Habits, self-control is a short-term strategy, not a long-term one. 

>> [05:51] James Clear outlines in his book a framework to make good habits or change bad habits. 

>> [07:00] To change a bad habit, change your environment. This plays into Law #1 of making it invisible or law #3 making it difficult.
