Did you know that 44% of people make new year’s resolutions but that only 44% of those that make them stick to them for less than 6 months?
Resolutions often fail for several reasons:
- The right systems are not in place to reach your goal
- The process isn’t enjoyable and it seems like each step is a huge task
- Goals are not in alignment with your identity
- The belief is it has to be hard and extreme
In this episode, Dr. Lisa shares some profound insights from James Clear’s book, “Atomic Habits” that can lay the groundwork for lasting and enjoyable change. Lisa discusses how to use the principles from Atomic Habits to start exercising and to drink more water. These principles can be used for any behaviour change you want to make, big or small.
