Managing Urges

from Thrive Against The Odds · host Jonathan Cheney

Urges do not control you unless you let them. In this episode, I share my personal battle with the constant pull to check my phone. The notifications. The scrolling. The reflex to grab it every time I see it. What started as a small habit became something that felt automatic, and I knew it had to change. I walk you through how I recognized the problem, what I did to break the cycle, and the practical tools you can use to overcome any urge, whether it is something small like checking social media, something bigger like overdrinking, and everything in between. Here is the truth. No matter how long an urge has been wired into your brain, you can begin reversing it in a matter of hours with focused work. Let’s take your power back.
