Summary
ENCORE PRESENTATION (originally aired Oct. 2017). Listen and you'll quickly learn why I am re-sharing this show. I refer to it so often, I wanted it to be top of mind and top of feed for you!
If you REALLY want to know why it is so hard to change our habits, and you REALLY want to know what to do differently, and EXACTLY how, this is the episode for you.
Jim Fortin is a neuroscience-focused expert on how our brains work (and work against us), on habit formation and on the real secrets to creating the identity that we want.
This is all about the power of the subconscious and how to retrain our brains.
Do not pass go. Listen to this, rewind and listen again.

| 0:00.0 | What all of us mostly do is we actually say, I'm at point A, but I want to be at point B. Well, the only way to get the point B is to be the person at point B. This is why people write down their goals on a yearly basis, but they never get there. Because they're being the person at point A where they are, instead of being the person at point B where they want to be. They keep repeating that pattern over and over and over again. Here's what we do. focus on what you want. |
| 0:24.3 | Welcome. want to be. They keep repeating that pattern over and over and over again. Here's what we do. Focus on what |
| 0:22.4 | you want. Welcome. You're on air with Ella, where we share simple strategies and truths from people |
| 0:29.5 | who are doing something better than we are, whether it's wellness or fitness and fat loss to just |
| 0:35.0 | living better and with more energy or changing your mindset to |
| 0:38.8 | accomplish more in your own life and succeeding however you define it. This is where we share |

| 1:02.9 | First of all, this is a long interview full of a lot of new ideas. |
| 1:07.5 | Definitely, definitely want to go back and listen to this one twice for sure. I already have. Both times I got something completely different out of it. So this may actually be an instant classic. I think you're really going to like it. This show and the content that I talk about with Jim, it represents something that we're going to be talking more about. |
| 1:30.3 | I want to go beyond motivation and I really want to understand more about how our subconscious, how our brain, how our tendencies, like we talk about with Gretchen Rubin, how all of these things factor into lasting change, into really moving |
