Episode 127: Changing Habits

The prospect of changing a habit can feel difficult--but it doesn't have to be. The pandemic has given most of us a crash course in habit changing! In this episode, Shannon and Janine discuss some of the habits we've changed recently, along with some ways to make habit changing easier. Discussion topics include: • How under the right circumstances, habit change can be easy • Some of the many habits the pandemic has required us to create • How the pandemic has changed the way we feed ourselves (and our families) • Shannon’s strategy for creating a meal-planning habit • How Janine’s using her Trello daily task management board to re-create a habit of taking her supplements twice daily • The difficulty in remembering whether you’ve done certain daily tasks (and some solutions for that) • How the pandemic revealed our capacity to change • How these new habits are probably here to stay (and that’s probably for the better) • The importance of time of day for certain habits — it can be worthwhile to play with that • The value of attaching a habit to an existing one
