Most bad habits fail to change because we’re missing the emotional component. In this episode, I reveal why willpower, cold turkey, and resolutions rarely work—and share the only proven method to quit any bad habit for good by addressing what’s really driving the behavior.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why 95% of bad habits have an emotional coping mechanism underneath the behavior
- The shame cycle that keeps you trapped in doom scrolling, smoking, binge eating, and other patterns
- How to identify what emotion your bad habit is actually trying to help you avoid
- The difference between healthy coping mechanisms vs. true emotional healing
- A powerful 10-minute daily practice that naturally dissolves bad habits without willpower
Actionable Takeaways:
- Ask “What’s right with what’s wrong with me?”—identify the positive intent behind your habit
- Find what emotion you’d have to feel if you couldn’t use your bad habit, then practice allowing it
- Do the daily 10-minute exercise: sit with the uncomfortable emotion with love instead of resistance
