7. The Habit of Resisting Temptations: eliminate bad practices that harm your health & productivity

“I see and praise what is better, but follow what is worse.” With these words Roman poet Ovid 2 000 years ago named a struggle that we still all feel in the 21. century. We know what is best for our health, but sometimes a chocolate bar or a bag of chips is just irresistible. We are convinced that exercising is essential, but after a hard day at work or at home with children it is so much easier to lay on the couch and watch TV shows instead. We experienced many times that nothing good will happen after visiting Facebook during our work, but we just can’t stop ourselves. Or can we? Is there a way to ignore our urges, be consistent with our values and priorities? Can habits help us with this struggle?

In this episode I will try to answer all of these questions and even more.
Let’s talk about the habit of … resisting temptations!
