I just want you to win. I want you to get off the roller coaster of trying to fit into someone else’s plan so you can reach your goals for real. That’s why step 9 of my “Get Your Shit Together” program is about making your new habits sustainable.
Creating the protocols isn’t the hard part. It feels great when you make a bunch of huge changes, but then it’s followed by this crash when you can’t keep all the plates spinning. So how do you make changes that doesn’t put you on that shame roller coaster? Revisit what we talked about in Episode 2 and make sure you’re using as little willpower as possible.
In the science of habits, there are 4 steps that get hardwired into our brains to make a habit.
- The cue: The signal or trigger, which you can reprogram by reducing or increasing “friction” for certain habits
- The craving: Your brain gets bored easily. It loves novelty. It’s satisfying to stick with a new habit for a little while, but the novelty wears off.
- The response:
- The reward: Dopamine, always.
Most importantly, you need to surround yourself with people who can see your goals with you and have the bandwidth to support you.
