In today's episode of Stay At The Top, I'm uncovering one of the most common mistakes I see people make when trying to improve their health or change a behaviour: focusing on what they want to stop doing, rather than what they need to start doing. 


Whether you're looking to get fitter, stronger, lose weight, or simply lead a healthier life, the approach you take is crucial.


In this episode, I share:


-Why focusing on stopping bad habits doesn't work and what to do instead.

-Real-life examples of common behaviours people want to stop—like eating sweets or skipping the gym—and why they happen in the first place.

-The key strategies you can implement to shift your focus towards positive actions that lead to long-term success.

-A detailed breakdown of four common health-related behaviors people try to stop and why the real solution lies in what you're not doing.

-Simple, actionable tips on how to shift your mindset from eliminating bad habits to starting supportive, sustainable ones.


Key Quotes


“When this happens, what I see people focusing on is what they want to stop doing rather than what they need to start doing.”


“So the overarching theme of today's episode has really been about shifting our focus away from the behavior that you want to stop doing to creating positive, sustainable habits that help you address the actual root cause of why you're even doing that behavior in the first place.”
