Get Your Habits to Stick (without Burning the Boats)
Manage episode 515899223 series 2705063
Most people don’t fail at building habits because they’re lazy or undisciplined — they fail because they misunderstand what real consistency takes.
In this week’s Spiritual Perspective, Light Watkins breaks down the hidden reason most new habits don’t stick, and why the typical advice around motivation and discipline is incomplete.
You’ll learn why social media is often the worst place to get inspired, why “burning the boats” is too extreme when it comes to change, and how to make falling off virtually impossible. Light also shares the one factor that separates people who finish from those who quit, and how to generate the will to keep going when inspiration fades.
Whether you’re trying to start meditating, get in shape, or follow through on a creative goal, this episode will reframe the way you think about building habits that last.
If you’ve been stuck in a start-stop cycle with your goals, this conversation will help you understand what’s been missing — and how to finally make change sustainable.
