The Quickie: How to Break a Bad Habit in 5 Steps

Let’s be real, we’ve all got bad habits that are less than beneficial to our wellbeing. Whether it’s scrolling Instagram for hours or being late to everything – it’s time to admit that a big part of adulting is recognizing our own troublesome habits and doing the work to change them. We’re all about growth here at Teach Me How To Adult, people!

The good news is: bad habits aren’t actually that hard to shake once you break it down. When we understand the psychology behind our patterns we can rewire our routines and start replacing them with good habits, instead. Revolutionary, we know!

So we’re getting to the bottom of all our bad habits in this week’s Quickie and breaking down the 5 steps to break free of them!

Join us as we chat about:

• The psychology behind how bad habits are formed
• Getting clear on why you *need* to change your habit
• Identifying what triggers your actions
• How to replace your habit and why quitting cold turkey won’t work 
• Gill & Cailyn’s bad habits and how they’re breaking them
• Why its key to focusing on consistency vs. perfection
• The research-backed ways an accountability-buddy can keep you on course

We hope this episode helps you curb some of your not so cute habits and make room for some more positive ones!
