To Beat Your Negative Habits, You Must Master The Psychology Behind Them
It’s 3 p.m., and you’re knee-deep in an afternoon energy slump.
You head towards the office kitchen to grab a glass of water where you’re encountered by a box of treats that seems to be calling your name. “Just one,” you swear. But that’s the third time you’ve given in to your sweet tooth this week.
As a smart, ambitious person, you know bad habits keep you from reaching your goals. You know you’re capable of self-control. Yet, despite your best efforts, you’ve been unable to change.
Whether it’s mid-day snacking, procrastinating, or skipping workouts, feeling powerless in the face of bad habits can really take a toll on your motivation, even your self-esteem.
What if it’s not a lack of willpower that’s to blame? What if the advice you’ve been given about how to “break” a bad habit is actually misguided?
If you’ve been trying different methods over and over again but nothing’s working, it’s time for a new approach that leverages the science of behavior change.
