{12.1} How to (Finally) Get Healthy: 7 Steps to Transform Your Habits

Is it ever possible to stick to a resolution and actually change for the better? If you're anythign like me, you're seeing the start of the new school year as a way to finally knuckle down and change some habits that aren't serving you. But we've been here before haven't we? Broken New Year resolutions and promises of change are no match for our lack of willpower! What if there was another way? Over summer I read Katy Milkman's brilliant book How to Change and it's compeltely changed my understanding of making changes. In this episode I am bringing you everything I've learnt from reading the book. I summarise the 7 steps laid out in the book and illuminate it using my personal example of breaking a bad habit of using my phone around my children. I aim to cut my phone usage down by two-thirds - bringing my average down from 3+ hours a day to just 1 hour. Will I be able to do it? I'm giving myself 12 weeks and staying accountable by promising an update by the end of the season, in early December.
