041 Willpower is a Lie

Willpower is a dangerous lie we use to beat ourselves up when we can't stay away from chocolate. Or get started on a new morning routine. Or any number of ways we like to "should" ourselves. I think willpower is nonsense and that knowing if you're an all or nothing or moderate type of person will help you finally stick with a new habit. On today's episode I cover... Why the idea of willpower is a lie Why knowing your own tendencies is more important  How you can get into (and stick with) a consistent habit Why I don't bring chocolate into the house unless I plan on eating the whole thing (and other ways I set myself up for success) All the links: - Stress Less this Winter Challenge (free!) - www.aewellness.com/podcast - Join the free Body Nerds FB community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aewbodynerds/  - Come hang out with me on Instagram @hollaformala: https://instagram.com/hollaformala/ - Body Freedom Self-Assessment - a free quiz that will guide you towards the best next step for you to get rid of tension, stiffness, soreness and pain - take it now at  www.bodynerdshow.com - 818-396-6501 is the Body Nerd Hotline - how do you build consistency and/or where are you getting stuck?
