All of us are trying to improve ourselves. Whether it's eating better, exercising, or calling our grandmothers on occasion, it's so much easier to say we're going to do something than make it happen. Case in point: New Year's resolutions usually fail. Our inability to change our behaviors is a stuck point in our lives, and it's time we address this with honest questioning. What works? What is just a myth? What is popular but has no basis in science? For the most part, we are really ineffective in changing behaviors. And though there are tons of people out there telling you all you need is willpower, the willpower-based approach is limited, insufficient, and causes us to primarily feel blame and failure. So if that approach doesn't work, what does? In this episode of Get The STUCK Out, I highlight some of the basic frameworks for behavioral change interventions and then talk about some newer concepts that I believe to be gamechangers. In the course of this podcast, I'll be interviewing experts across the subjects I mention to give you the most practical tools possible for making behavioral change stick. As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts, and if you're liking the content, be sure to subscribe!
