Put another way, what's the Good Life Habit 80/20? The 20% that'll fuel 80% of the difference-making. I have been asked this question so many times in so many ways by so many people over the years and in fact, I have asked it of myself many times.

Now some may feel right and accessible for you and others might feel challenging. My intention is not that you have to say yes to all 5, but that each one, even if nothing else is explored, can make a genuinely meaningful, even transformational difference in your life. That is where we're headed in today's special episode. The Big 5 Habits that have made a really big difference in my life and hopefully will make a difference in yours as well.Mentioned in this episode:The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles DuhiggAtomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James ClearSubmit a voice memo of your 5 Good Life Habits.If you LOVED this episode you’ll also love the conversations we had with James Nestor on How Breathing Can Change Your Life.Check out our offerings & partners: Join My New Writing Project: Awake at the WheelVisit Our Sponsor Page For Great Resources & Discount Codes Hosted on Acast.
