The lack of willpower thing- and cook does emphasize, which I wholly agree on- that poor sleep and stress sap our willpower.
Ever find yourself avoiding the very things you know are good for you? In this episode of The Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast, Lynn Matti dives into this all-too-common struggle. Drawing on Clayton Cook's research, she breaks down why we often sabotage our own well-being, touching on lack of awareness, permission, and willpower. Lynn's relatable and practical advice offers a lifeline for anyone stuck in this frustrating cycle.
She highlights how stress and poor sleep can drain our willpower, making it harder to break old habits and form new, healthier ones. But don't worry—Lynn's got a plan. She introduces the WOOP technique, a goal-setting method that stands for Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan. This evidence-based approach encourages you to visualize your goals and map out the steps to achieve them. With a mix of professional insights and personal anecdotes, Lynn provides a clear path to overcoming these hurdles.
She emphasizes the importance of giving yourself permission to prioritize your own needs and building awareness to foster behavior change. By the end of the episode, you'll feel equipped with practical tools and a renewed sense of hope for your journey towards better self-care. Whether you're battling addiction, stress, or simply trying to improve your daily habits, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps.
Lynn's empathetic approach and quirky wisdom make it an engaging listen for anyone looking to make positive changes in their life.
