BOOM! I wish I could do sound effects, but I can't. We're here today to talk about atomic habits. The basis for this talk is James Clear's bestselling book by the same name. Also, James Clear is a guest on Brene Brown's podcast on Spotify - that's also a great listen.
Anyhoo...what are atomic habits, and why do we need them?
Have you ever noticed that when you make lofty goals (we used to call them BHAGs in the 1990's), that you never quite get there? That's because biting off a huge chunk of behavior change at one time almost always leads to failure. What you need is a system. Tiny increments of change add up to BIG change over time.
In this episode, Cam and Amelia distill the principles of creating or recreating your systems to set you up for success. Consistency over intensity is the key. We give you the four things that build a habit, and we give you the tools to unwind a habit as well.
