Breaking Free from OCD, Anxiety & Stress with Matt Codde29 Jul 2020

Ep.41: How to Make Real Lasting Change - Pt. 2: Behavioral Change

How many times have you told yourself that you’re going to change an unhealthy behavior in your life?

You might have the best intentions, you might know why you want to change, you might visualize the change, you might even be excited about what that change will produce, but after a few short weeks, you find yourself right back in your old ways.

Why is that?

Well, In this episode, I will be discussing why using intention and willpower to change a specific behavior, is often ineffective and doesn’t last over the long term. It’s almost like paddling a canoe upstream, eventually, you’ll burn out and the water will bring you right back where you started.

The reality is willpower alone is not an effective method for changing behavior. Sure it might work for a few weeks, but in this series, we aren’t after short term change. We’re after a change that we can sustain over the long haul.

So in this episode, I will be discussing why backing up your desired behavior change will the correct skills, beliefs, and personal identities will help propel you to Real Lasting Change in your life.

Enjoy!
