Summary

If you’re looking for some simple, easy ways to integrate habits into your life, we’ve got you. Two experts—psychologist Dr. Michelle Trotter-Mathison and dietician Ellie Kempton—chat with Dimity and Sarah Wassner Flynn about what makes a sustainable, healthy habit.

Among other things, the discussion includes:

The disconnect between intention and action—and where most of us get tripped up;
Why size (think super tiny!) and simplicity (think super easy!) are key when forming a new routine and subsequent habit;
How a routine, rather than being constricting, can actually be freeing; and
The idea that willpower is actually a reflection of needs not being met. (So true when it comes to nutrition!)
