Stay at the Top S2E05. Why relying on willpower and dedication to make lasting change won’t work
Today we are talking about why dedication and willpower are not enough on their own to change and maintain your ideal lifestyle.
As I have hinted at in previous episodes, to make sustained change we need to need to focus on forming new habits and breaking the old ones, but even more importantly it is about forming new habits that we can set on auto pilot.
So In this episode I’ll be giving more information on how and why you should be doing this as well as some good starting points.
In this episode I share:
- Why a lack of strategy and structure can make it hard to thrive
- Why using willpower is not enough to sustain change
- The reason that going from 0-100 won't work
- The secret to gaining momentum
- The importance of starting with a life audit process
- Examples of a varied lifestyle that you need to account for when planning to change habits
- Why having structure is not about becoming a robot with your habits
- How everyone around you benefits from you using structure and not will power to maintain your lifestyle
- Examples of some guard rails you can use
Key Quotes
