Summary

Do you find yourself giving up on your habits practically on the day you decide to start them? Do you blame your willpower, or lack thereof, for getting in the way of positive habit formation? What if I told you it's not just about self-control and it is possible for you to make the changes you want. In this episode I'm touching on two reasons why you struggle, and four ways you can boost your self-control. It is doable, and healthy, to create the habits you want for your whole self. I'm sharing what I've personally learned from many resources - like did you know you actually have a limited amount of self-control, or about willpower depletion (it's real!). The habits that I'm constantly working on myself won't be anything new if you've been around a while. Spoiler: maintaining my habits and goals related to sleep and phone use will always take conscious consistency. If you feel a tug towards new habits I'm teaching you exactly where to start and how to move forward, once you let go of blaming yourself. About a few other things... The Strive Tribe (formally our unnamed membership group) is now in full swing! Join a small and private group with like-minded members from this community for support and accountability. You'll have access to coaching, book clubs, challenges and more as we grow and develop together. Join now for lifetime founding-member pricing. I have been using these organizers to keep allll the things usually lost in the black hole of my purse easily accessible, and even transferable to other bags. They are high quality, with a sleek and straightforward design. I recommend getting the bundle, like I did, and using code 'MONICA10' for 10% off until June 1st.

0:00.0	Are you ready for a growth spurt? Well, I've caught one for you today. One to two times a month, I'll give you a short message that I am calling a growth spurt that will help you narrow in on our focus of the month in ways that are bitesized and super applicable right away.
0:24.3	So let's jump on in.
0:27.8	Have you ever blamed your lack of creating and following through and maintaining habits on your own lack of self-control.
0:39.1	Maybe you think, if I could just keep it together, then I wouldn't find myself struggling with blank again. Yeah, totally it's a problem when we know in our mind and in our heart that there is something we need to follow through with so that we can have the changes we are
0:57.2	wanting and needing in our lives. But it's actually an even bigger problem when we blame our lack of self-control for not being able
1:09.3	to perfectly execute habit formation.
