Can You Change Your Life in 90 Days?
Episode Overview
Commit to a 90-day challenge for meaningful change. Building new habits requires consistent practice. Supportive communities are crucial in addiction recovery. Neuroplasticity supports the formation of new behaviours. Spousal and partner support can significantly impact recovery.
When you see someone who's doing it and you know that you've got a similar story or similar background and they're winning, don't feel sorry for yourself. Just ask yourself, why not me?
In this episode of 'Till The Wheels Fall Off', hosts Matt and Paige Robinson dive into the concept of the 90-day rule and its impact on personal change, particularly in addiction recovery. Ever wondered why 90 days is often touted as the magic number for forming new habits?
The Robinsons break it down, discussing studies that suggest it takes anywhere from 18 to 254 days to make a new behaviour automatic, but why 90 days is a solid benchmark for real, meaningful change. Matt and Paige share their personal journeys, offering a mix of humour and heartfelt advice. They explore how a 90-day commitment can be a game-changer not just for those battling addiction, but also for their spouses and partners.
The duo discusses the importance of establishing a supportive community and developing new habits that replace old, destructive ones. Paige's candid reflections on her own experiences add a layer of authenticity that makes the episode relatable and inspiring. The episode also touches on the neuroscience behind habit formation, explaining how neuroplasticity supports the idea that repeated practice over 90 days can lead to lasting change.
They emphasise the importance of staying engaged in a supportive community, whether through therapy, group meetings, or simply sharing your journey with others. By the end of the episode, you'll feel motivated to take on your own 90-day challenge.
