In this episode, you’re about to learn how to make your new habits stick.

If you’ve struggled to be consistent with behavior change, you’re not alone. It’s easy to talk about habits. It’s a whole different thing to apply the science to your life.

You are not the problem.

The problem, when it comes to habits, is the lack of systems and hacks that help you stay consistent.

There are 5 very specific, simple systems backed by science that you have to have in place if you want to make your new habits stick for good.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve already bailed on your New Year’s resolutions or if the only habit you think you’re successful at is failing at habits. I’ve got you.

If your treadmill just became the most expensive laundry hanger you’ve ever purchased, then this episode is for you.

I’ll say it again:

It’s not you; it’s your lack of systems.

Stop relying on willpower to get you through.

That’s not what you need. The research says you need systems.

Today, I’ll teach you 5 essential ones.

Let’s go, because your behavior toolkit masterclass series continues.
