Quote from Becca Pate

I thought I might share one thing that helped me increase my savings. I was really having a problem 'stopping and grabbing something to eat'. Fast food and fancy coffee add up and were the cause of a lot of $ disappearing in my budget. Every time I drove by a fast food place and was tempted to stop (this usually happened otw to work in the mornings), I would drive past and when I parked at work, I took out my phone and transferred $6-$10 or whatever I was going to spend in the drive thru into my savings. I did it before I even turned the car off . I guess it worked for me because it gave me that 'instant satisfaction' of adding a little each time to my savings and it added up much quicker than I thought it would.

What is addiction replacement

“Everyone who’s battled an addiction understands the concept: You go from smoking to eating; from drinking to shopping; from sex to chocolate to working. You’re substituting one addiction for another in an attempt to compensate for a perceived ‘lack’—emotionally or psychologically.”

Why do we swap addictions

“Individuals in recovery may also experience a lowered level of dopamine in the brain, which would limit their ability to feel happiness or excitement during the early stages of sobriety. This can influence recovering addicts to transfer their past addictive behaviors into other activities or substances as a way to fulfill the craving and reduce the unpleasant side effects of withdrawal.”

0:00.0	I'm going to tell you how to use addiction swapping to make building new habits easier.
0:06.7	Get excited because this is tiny leaps. Big changes. So like two episodes ago, I think it was like episode 832-ish or 833.
0:29.0	I talked about how to make your life easier. I talked about how the goal for
0:34.8	personal development, the goal for self-improvement should be to make following
0:39.4	through on the things we want to do, easier to stick with.
0:43.8	Because it's not about being better
0:46.4	or being good enough to do the thing.
0:48.6	There's no such thing.
0:49.6	Life is complicated and we are all experiencing the world in unique ways and so there really is no
0:56.2	being good enough or being better there is only how easy can I make this on myself.
1:03.0	Now that episode I posted as normal and I published it on YouTube as well.
1:08.4	By the way, if you're not over on YouTube, follow me on YouTube, subscribe. link to that in the description. But that episode
1:16.0	had a great response in terms of comments and one of those comments is actually
1:22.0	the nugget that led to today's episode.
1:26.2	So if you needed any more reason to go subscribe to the YouTube channel and start watching these
1:32.2	episodes, it's that, hey, you might actually be a part of a future episode.
1:38.8	Who else do you know who's building that kind of direct community engagement into the production process.
1:47.1	And that's possible because I'm doing these episodes close to daily and I'm doing them more or less the day that they publish I'm recording.
1:55.8	So you can literally say something and very likely in tomorrow's episode it would be there.
2:02.2	So if that sounds interesting to you, if you're like, you
2:04.6	know what, I want to be involved, I want to have this conversation, head over to YouTube,
