Breaking bad habits doesn’t require willpower—it requires strategy. Here’s the plan.
Imagine raising your kid next to a chimp, thinking that it will learn human habits— only to realize your baby starts acting like the chimp instead.
Wild, right?
That’s exactly what happened in an experiment and it’s proof of one powerful truth: our environment shapes us more than we think.
In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I take that lesson and flip it into an action plan for breaking bad habits and building better ones— in just 30 days.
From the science of the cue-routine-reward cycle to the surprising role of your environment (spoiler alert: it might be holding you back), I’ll walk you through the seven steps you need to transform your habits— and your life.
We’ll explore why understanding your “why” matters, how to use friction to your advantage, why surrounding yourself with the right people can make or break your progress, and more!
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear, actionable plan to kickstart your habit transformation— and a free worksheet to help you stay on track.
Whether you want to boost your fitness, focus on your goals, or just feel more in control of your day, it all starts here. Ready to make your future self proud? Let’s dive in!
