Episode notes
How Habits Form
- Habits are formed through a combination of behavior and positive emotion, not just repetition.
- Society labels habits as "good" or "bad," but the brain's wiring process is the same.
Breaking Bad Habits
- To break bad habits, focus on reducing ability or removing prompts, not motivation.
- Make the habit harder to perform or eliminate triggers.
Golden Behaviors
- Identify "golden behaviors" that you want to do, can do, and that create impact.
- Use focus mapping to select habits aligned with these criteria.
