On Reframing Bad Habits

Habits shape our behaviour. Bad habits; we all have them (apparently) and some people have several in their life. In this episode we consider a list of habits that kids display and how these are seen as bad, by grown ups. But what would it be like if we thought about these pesky habits differently?  Could this be possible, and if so, would reframing them make a difference to how we feel about ourselves?  Flipping the script on our bad habits can fill us full of hope and compassion for ourselves. I hope you start conversations about bad habits wherever you go. Tell me about your so-called bad habits and how you're reframing them, at [email protected].  In this episode I also share a review of Australian family podcast, Short & Curly. I've got to say this is the most entertaining philosophy podcast for kids I know. Ethicist Dr Matt Beard, one of the hosts, joins me to answer my question, "what's been the toughest philosophical question" he's considered on the Short & Curly show so far. His answer is fascinating.  I hope you find this episode thought provoking. If you do, consider leaving me a positive review on whichever podcast platform you prefer to listen in on.
