14. How to Change Any Habit Your Brain on Trauma

In This Episode:Today I want to talk about change. Usually, we start the beginning of every year with a lot of gusto about what we need to be better at and all the habits that we need to change. And then, by mid-January, things start to fizzle out. For a long time, I thought this happened because of a lack of prioritization or discipline. But the truth is that we have a lot of discipline for the things that TRULY MATTER. So what can we do to bring that energy into the habits we would like to change?The answer is in our values. Whatever your value system is, you engage in activities that help you connect with it. And you feel good doing them. In this week's episode of Your Brain on Trauma, I will teach you a gentle, loving, and effective process for changing habits. And it works better than discipline or grit. Let’s go. In This Episode:00:55 Thursdays are my favorite days of the week because I connect with you 01:41 Energy of change at the beginning of the year  02:31 We are disciplined in those things that genuinely matter to us 04:11 Your values will help you direct energy into what you want to become05:06 Examples of how values guide our choices 08:09 How to use values in the service of taking on a new habit 11:05 Creating bridges to connect a habit to enjoy with the one you don’t enjoy that much 12:59 An exercise to drop the discipline route and try a new approach 14:48 Embrace a more loving, gentle, and effective process for developing as a personConnect with Dr. Kavetha Sundaramoorthy:● Rapid Relationship Repair FREE Mini-Course - https://bit.ly/RapidRelationshipRepair● Come join us in our free Facebook group Your Brain on Trauma, where is a whole community of women just like you who are on this sacred healing journey: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rm4fp/● Sign up to my live event: The Clearing: https://bit.ly/TheClearingLIVE
