Ep 379: Throwback to Ep5: Why Your Bad Habits Are So Hard To Break

Start Your Transformation Now

In today’s episode, you’ll learn why it has been so hard to break your bad habits. The reason why is that people try to use willpower to break bad habits and willpower is a conscious process and habits come from the reptilian brain. When you got up this morning you didn’t say “ok I’m going to get out of bed then go to the bathroom then shower”…. it happened automatically without conscious analytical thought.

All of us go through life on autopilot, and if you have what you do not want, you’ve created that on autopilot. If you want to create new things in life, you’ve got to create new habits.

In this episode you'll learn:


Your entire life is a habit. You must focus on creating the habits that create the outcome that you want.

Most people have a story that it’s hard to break a habit.

Most people try and create change with the wrong part of the brain

My habit program that will show you how to eliminate any habit without using willpower


Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Transformational Takeaway

You are not your habits. You are not your urges. You are not your habit voice telling you to go into your habits. (That’s your reptilian brain talking) You are you and your brain runs your habits. You cannot change your habits by fighting them. You must communicate with reptilian brain and it becomes easy for you to break your habits.
