Ep. 1106: Should My Habits Be Kept or Broken?

Yup!  It’s another New Year and that means another opportunity to start some things that are new, different and good for us!  It also means we consider stopping (or at least reducing) those things in life that aren’t so good for us.  It all sounds so easy, except for one little detail that can be expressed in one little word: habits.  Breaking old and establishing new habits is one of the hardest challenges most individuals face.  This is difficult because, by definition, making and breaking habits is making and breaking instinctive behavior.  The first thing we need to do is to know what to change and why.  While this is an important beginning, the next step is to know how to change, and that is where our work and focus actually begins.
