Developing good habits with small changes

In this podcast episode, Dr. Becky talks to James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits, about making small changes to develop good habits. Clear emphasizes the importance of starting with little steps to make a big difference. He discusses the challenges of decision fatigue and guilt when it comes to working out and offers a solution: using a personal training app like Future, which takes away the need to make decisions and adjusts workouts to fit individual needs and circumstances. Clear also addresses the struggle of practicing self-care habits as a parent and offers advice on how to approach this challenge with forgiveness, flexibility, and understanding the seasons of life. By focusing on mindset, identity change, and the power of making habits enjoyable, Clear provides valuable insights and practical strategies for parents to cultivate positive habits for themselves and their children.
