The Science Of Habit Change with Stefanie Faye

Listen in on Heidi's powerful conversation with Stefanie Faye all about the science behind changing and replacing habits that no longer serve us.About Stefanie Faye: Stefanie is a former researcher and has spent parts of her career measuring electric conductance of the skin (GSR), facial electromyography (EMG), and heart rate.She currently works with quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG), rhythmic sinus arrhythmia (heart rate variability), neurofeedback, and transcranial magnetic stimulation for clinical treatment at an intensive outpatient mental health clinic.Her graduate research at New York University and fieldwork at the NYU Phelps lab for neuroscience research, the NYU Institute for Prevention Science, and Yeshiva University's Albert Einstein College of Medicine focused on the cross-section of self-directed neuroplasticity, family emotional climates, and empathy.For the past decade, She has been teaching and consulting in countries all over the world by combining scientific insights and her training in monasteries with meditation masters from India, Africa, and Vietnam.She is the host of the Mindset Neuroscience Podcast and currently works as a neurotechnology facilitator and coach.In this episode, we discuss: How habits or automations are actually helpful to our brain because they help us conserve energy and make fewer daily decisions.Many habitual behaviors are often the result of attempting to meet our own internal need for psychological safety.How to start building greater self-awareness, THE first, critical step towards long-term change.Learning to observe or notice yourself can give you clues about why you may continue to run certain habits or automations.How you can lengthen the amount of time between the stimulus and your response by practicing conscious breathing and mindfulness.Connect with Stefanie: Website: stefaniefaye.com Instagram @stefanieffayePodcast: https://stefaniefaye.com/mindset-neuroscience-podcast/📲 QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS: SEND US A TEXT OR VOICE MESSAGEWebsite: CompeteHeartFirst.comFollow Us on SocialInstagram @HeartFirstLeadershipFacebook @HeartFirstLeadershipYoutube Chanel @HeartFirstLeadership
