Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of "All In The Mind" takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the fascinating science of habits. Sana Kadar chats with Bernard Balleine, Director of the Decision Neuroscience Lab at UNSW, and BJ Fogg, founder of the Behaviour Design Lab at Stanford University, about why habits are so tricky to change and how you can finally make them stick.
Bernard explains that habits are like acquired reflexes—once they're wired in, they become automatic responses to certain stimuli. BJ Fogg, on the other hand, introduces his innovative 'Tiny Habits' method, which focuses on making small, manageable changes that fit seamlessly into your daily routine. The idea is simple: break down a goal into tiny tasks, link them to existing habits, and celebrate each success.
You'll hear about BJ's quirky habit of doing push-ups after using the loo and how it helped him stay fit. The episode also highlights the importance of choosing habits you genuinely want rather than those you feel obligated to adopt. Whether you're trying to eat healthier or exercise more, BJ's method promises a path to success by feeling good, not guilty. So, are you ready to turn your resolutions into reality?
This episode is packed with practical advice and light-hearted stories that might just inspire you to take that first tiny step.
