Summary
Changing habits can be challenging. Your brain urges you to do one thing but you want to do another. When this happens, it's not so easy to say no and do what you want to do.
In this episode, I'm talking about working against your brain to change habits. If you just go with what your brain tells you to do, you will stay in the same habits you've formed over time. So you and your brain need to makes some changes. Listen in to find out how you're going to work against your brain to eventually make it do what you want it to do.
