How to Improve Your Habits When Life Gets Messy — Solution-Focused Change That Sticks with Glen Lubbert
Manage episode 517217336 series 3661796
On Mind over Matter, we cut through perfection culture to talk about habit change that actually survives chaos. Glen Lubbert, co-founder and CEO of Stamina Lab, explains why rigid, one-size-fits-all routines fail and how a solution-focused approach helps you move toward what you do want—using strengths you already have. From the “tell the cab driver where you’re going” metaphor to building momentum with tiny, flexible wins, this conversation shows how to stay consistent when schedules, travel, stress, and life disrupt your plans.
About the Guest :
Glen Lubbert is the co-founder and CEO of Stamina Lab, a health-tech company helping people build energy, focus, and resilience by activating inner resources—not shame or willpower. He blends evidence-based, solution-focused methods with practical behavior design to make change sustainable.
Key Takeaways:
Define the destination: stop saying what you’ll avoid; describe what you want instead so your brain knows where to go.
Use the “cab driver” rule: your plan works only when the goal is specific, sensory, and meaningful.
Ask “What difference will that make?” until you reach intrinsic motives (sleep, energy, relationships, creative work).
Progress over perfection: habits can be too rigid; design multiple paths to the same river so you can adapt on messy days.
Travel/weekends/context changes? Swap in equivalents (walk stairs, add steps, hydrate) to keep identity consistent even when routines break.
Evidence you’re not broken: look for exceptions and what kept you from going further off track (e.g., stopping at half the ice cream).
Momentum comes from noticing small wins in real time; be your own detective for signs you’re already changing.
Emotions drive behavior: minimize guilt/shame; reinforce agency by reflecting back what worked and doing more of that.
Start now: after this episode, do one tiny action that signals the person you’re becoming (a glass of water, a 5-minute walk, a deep breath).
Sustainable change = awareness + flexible strategy + trust in your inner resources, not more willpower.
