BITESIZE | How to Build Healthy Habits That Last a Lifetime | BJ Fogg
Listen on
The start of a new year is the time many of us look to make changes in our lives, incorporating healthy habits and removing unhelpful ones.
Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my new weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.
This week’s guest is Professor BJ Fogg, a leading expert in behaviour change. Methods for building habits have often focussed on repetition, willpower, and motivation. BJ believes there’s a simpler approach. Habit formation is linked to our emotions, and by creating a feeling of success, we can wire in a habit.
We discuss my own experience with patients as well as the results he has seen with his own program. Finally, BJ reveals how easy it is to form new habits by using his 3-step method. When you do something and feel successful, that behaviour becomes more automatic. Feeling good can be the key to forming new healthy habits that last a lifetime…
