How to Break Bad Habits That Hold You Back

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I break down how to stop fighting bad habits and start understanding them. We are not broken people, we are patterned people, and habits live inside loops of triggers, behaviors, and perceived rewards. I walk through how to map that loop, master the pause when fear and uncertainty hit, and replace low yielding behaviors with ones aligned to where you want to be or better. We talk about devotion over discipline, awareness over perfection, and why small non negotiable behaviors win the present. When you shorten the distance of resistance, you free energy, restore focus, and build momentum that compounds over time.
