889 | The Secret to Finally Breaking Old Patterns
Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the same cycle — repeating the same patterns in your health, your relationships, or your work — no matter how hard you try to change? You’re not alone.In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, we’re talking about the secret to finally breaking old patterns: raising your standards. Not the big shiny goals (your ceiling), but the everyday choices and habits (your floor) that quietly shape your entire life.You’ll learn:Why your current “normal” may be the very thing holding you backHow small, repeatable standards rewire your brain and reinforce new beliefsThe energetic truth: your standards don’t just change you, they change the vibration you send out into the worldFour key areas to audit (health, relationships, self-respect, and vocation) to raise your floor and transform your lifeThis conversation is inspired by a chapter in my latest book that asks the question: What’s your floor? Because once you raise the level of what you’re willing to accept as “normal,” you’ll be amazed at how fast your life begins to shift.If you’re ready to stop spinning in the same patterns and finally step into the life you’ve been dreaming about — this episode is for you.Get your copy of Rachel's New Book Here: Audible, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Millon, Bookshop.org, or wherever books are sold!01:07 Welcome and Podcast Subscription02:28 The Power of Standards04:06 Personal Transformation Journey05:44 Aligning Actions with Goals07:30 Raising Your Standards08:38 The Concept of Floors and Ceilings19:27 Neurological and Energetic Impact of Standards24:56 Practical Steps to Raise Your Standards38:03 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsSign up for Rachel’s weekly email: https://msrachelhollis.com/insider/Call the podcast hotline and leave a voicemail!
