S2E5 Making Healthy Habits Stick - Dr Heather Mckee

Have you found it difficult at some point to stick to a healthy habit, even if you know it's good for you in the long term? Why does this happen? In this episode, I speak with Dr Heather Mckee who breaks down why this is and how we can start to make healthy habits stick, in manageable and sustainable ways.

Heather has a keen interest in the psychology behind what motivates people to adopt and stick to health goals and completed her PhD in Weight Loss Behaviour Change Psychology at the University of Birmingham. Her fascinating research was focused on how to set goals that lead to lasting changes and discovering the key strategies for long-term healthy lifestyle success.

We discuss:

Motivation to change
Willpower is a depletable resource
The Goal Dilution Effect
Making habit changes stick
Bite-sized habits
Why do we fall victim to temptation
The power of thought
The happiness of pursuit rather than the ‘pursuit of happiness’ Dr Heather Mckee’s mental health self-care routine
