Most Habits Are Dead on Arrival. Here’s How to Tell Before You Start.

Ever have that Sunday night feeling where you decide this is the week everything changes? You’re going to meditate, quit sugar, and hit the pavement at 5 AM. Then Wednesday hits, the wheels fall off, and by Friday, you’re back where you started, blaming your lack of willpower.But what if I told you the problem isn’t you? It’s the habit you chose.In this episode, I’m breaking down The Selection Problem. We often pick habits based on a podcast recommendation or a random Instagram post without ever checking if they actually fit our real, messy lives. Most habits are dead on arrival because we didn’t know how to check for a pulse.I’m sharing my CAN Test, a simple, three-question filter I use with my patients to ensure a habit will actually heal you instead of just exhausting you:* C – Clear: Can you describe it in one sentence a 12-year-old would understand?* A – Actionable: Can you do it right now with what you already own?* N – Nourishing: Does it leave you feeling physically better, or does it feel like punishment?Join me as we perform a “Habit Autopsy” on your past failures and reframe how you approach change. You don’t have a willpower problem; you have a design problem. Let’s fix it.Link to Dr. Marbas Substack Article: https://drlauriemarbas.substack.com/p/most-habits-are-dead-on-arrival-heres Big Thank You To Our Sponsors:If you want the best supplement to help you on your plant-based journey, you have to try Complement: https://lovecomplement.com/?aff=62 Get full access to The Habit Healers at drlauriemarbas.substack.com/subscribe
