Building Routines: Ashley Wilson's Guide to Habit Stacking
“Habits are shortcuts that our mind makes to be able to not use as much energy. So, for example, a lot of people have used the analogy of a car: when you're first learning how to drive, what do we do right? Your brain goes into autopilot, and that's what our brain likes to do.”
Feeling like your life's been turned upside down? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Recovered Life', Ashley Wilson gets real about the chaos that often follows trauma and addiction. She introduces a nifty concept called 'habit stacking'—a method where you add new habits onto existing ones to create a sense of routine and predictability. Think of it like adding a new layer to a cake you've already baked.
Ashley shares her own experiences, from remembering to take medication to carving out time for self-care. She also highlights how therapy and counseling can be crucial during stressful times. This episode isn't just talk; it's packed with actionable tips to help you build a more structured life. Tune in for a blend of science, personal stories, and practical advice on how to make your days a bit more manageable.
