Rewire Your Brain: The Identity-Driven Secret to Effortlessly Breaking Bad Habits

from The Colonel's Journal

"Live Free: Old Habits Die Hard" discusses the nature of habits and offers a method for breaking undesirable ones. It explains how neural pathways are formed and strengthened through repeated actions, leading to ingrained behaviours. The article then introduces a strategy called progressive extremism, advocating for an identity-based approach rather than relying solely on willpower. This method involves identifying the habit, starting with small and effortless changes, and progressively making further adjustments to redefine one's self-perception as a person who simply "doesn't" perform the unwanted action.-------------------------The Bearded Colonel: where shaving becomes a ritual worth looking forward to.Skip the hassle and join our shaving subscription today!Get blades delivered at an interval that suits your schedule: https://beardedcolonel.co.uk/join/Craft a barbershop-quality lather at home with the Colonel’s Shaving Brush: https://beardedcolonel.co.uk/shop/shaving-brush/If you want the ultimate shave experience, the VIP Gift Set delivers it all in one box: https://beardedcolonel.co.uk/product/vip-gift-set/Top of the line razors, delivered for a fair price.
