Text your thoughts and questions!Do you ever have a routine that looks great on paper but somehow feels disconnected, mechanical, or difficult to stick with? Maybe you have the right systems in place, but you're moving through them like a checklist instead of feeling genuinely engaged with what you're doing.The structure of your routine matters, but structure alone isn't always enough to create lasting change. When your habits start to feel hollow or you're struggling to stay consistent, the missing piece may not be more discipline or a better system—it may be meaning. The way you experience what you're doing can make all the difference.In this episode, Lisa explores the powerful difference between routines and rituals and why you need both to create habits and systems that actually work for you. She explains how routines provide the structure and consistency needed to build habits, while rituals add intention, meaning, and personal connection to the things you're already doing. You'll hear how small sensory cues, intentional transitions, and meaningful details can transform an ordinary routine into something you genuinely want to return to.Lisa also shares a real-life example of helping a client create a writing ritual, along with the personal rituals she uses for journaling and recording the podcast. You'll discover how to build rituals into routines you already have without adding unnecessary complexity, spending money, or starting over. The goal isn't to create a perfect ritual—it's to make what you're already doing feel more intentional, personal, and sustainable.This week, episode 326 of the Positively Living® Podcast explores the difference between rituals and routines and shares how adding meaning, mindfulness, and personalized cues to your existing habits can help you create systems that feel more like you.Key Takeaways:Learn the difference between a routine and a ritual and why both are important for sustainable habits.Discover how routines create structure, reduce decision fatigue, and build consistency.Understand how rituals add meaning and intention to the actions you're already taking.Recognize the signs that you may have routines without enough ritual—or meaningful intentions without enough structure.Learn why you don't need to create an entirely new practice to build a ritual.Discover how sensory cues like music, scent, lighting, and favorite tools can signal to your brain that it's time to shift into a particular activity.Explore how a writing ritual helped one of Lisa's clients transition from a busy workday into focused creative time.Learn how intentional transitions can help your brain recognize that you're moving from one type of work into another.Discover how Lisa uses a personalized ritual to make her monthly journaling practice more meaningful.Understand why rituals help you move from automatic to aware and from pushing through to being present.Learn how to identify one existing routine that could benefit from more meaning and intention.Discover how to use a brief intention to connect what you're doing with why it matters to you.Understand why your ritual should remain simple enough to survive busy and overwhelming seasons.Learn how your favorite tools and supplies can make an existing routine more enjoyable and personal without requiring a shopping spree.Explore how functionality, sustainability, and personal preference can all become part of a meaningful ritual.Discover how visual cues can help you transition between different types of work.Learn why the experience of doing something matters just as much as the steps required to accomplish it.Explore how small, intentional details can make your productivity systems feel more personalized and sustainable.Understand why routines help you get where you want to go, but rituals are what make those routines yours.Thank you for listening!

Cheating resets cravings. Total commitment rewires taste and prevents relapse. It's not extreme—it's freedom. #DietAdherence #CravingReset #FullCommitment #HealthTalks

“If you buy one self-help book this year, pick this one,” wrote New York Times writer Tara Parker-Pope about How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, adding the book to the paper's list of eight favorites for healthy living in 2021. What sets How to Change apart is its focus on the internal obstacles that plague efforts to develop healthier habits and move forward in our lives. The author, University of Pennsylvania professor Katie Milkman, PhD '09, says she organized the book this way in order to enable readers to identify common barriers and the best strategies for overcoming them. This month on Colloquy, Milkman discusses her research and how insights from economics and psychology can be harnessed to change consequential behaviors for good.

In this episode, Liv addresses individuals who struggle with meal prep and convenience eating. She emphasizes that the current eating habits may be logical given their busy lifestyles, but they often lack the nutritional support needed for health goals. Liv discusses the importance of protein, decision-making patterns, and offers practical strategies to improve eating habits without requiring extensive meal prep. The conversation encourages listeners to take small, manageable steps towards healthier eating without overhauling their lives.

How do you transform a simple consumer product into an indispensable daily habit? Live from the Retail Collective Summit, this executive panel dives deep into the psychology of habit formation, product-to-identity fit, and long-term customer retention. The conversation explores how modern brands transition customers from being sold to organically sharing their experiences, how emotional hooks outperform traditional statistics, and the shifting dynamics of community and authenticity across marketing channels.  Whether leveraging data analytics to build supportive consumer journeys or engineering massive shifts in customer loyalty, the strategies shared in this session serve as a blueprint for any growth-minded founder or operator looking to own a piece of the consumer's daily routine.  Moderator: Tim Holladay (Spacestation) Panelists: Natalie Roberts (Easy Healthcare), Ryan Napierski (Nu Skin), Sean Kennedy (Ultradent), Brynn MacLennan (Slate Flosser), Reyn Soffe (Young Living), and Nettie Frank (Citreve).  

Have you ever eaten a bag of chips or a bowl of ice cream even though you want to lose some weight and you weren't physically hungry? Or skipped the walk you planned to take? Or stayed up late scrolling on your phone even though you promised yourself you would go to bed earlier that night?So why did you give in to the urge and what can you do about it?In Part 1 of the three-part Name It to Navigate It series, Amy introduces affect labeling—the skill and practice of putting feelings into words. Research suggests that when you name your emotions, activity in the amygdala (your brain's alarm system) may decrease while your prefrontal cortex and specifically areas involved in language and self-control become more active.That shift can create something incredibly valuable: a pause between what you feel and what you do next.Why Naming Emotions Supports Better Health HabitsYou may already know that sleep, movement, nutrition, hydration, social connection, and stress management support long-term brain health.But knowing what to do is not the same as consistently doing it.An unnamed emotion can drive late-night eating, doomscrolling, sleep procrastination, skipped workouts, social withdrawal, or anxious symptom-checking. In this episode, you'll discover:00:00 — Why you reach for food, skip movement, or scroll late at night01:15 — The gap between knowing and doing03:00 — The unnamed emotions behind common unwanted behaviors05:10 — Why “What's wrong with me?” is the wrong question06:00 — What affect labeling actually means08:20 — The brain science behind naming emotions10:30 — How two words can create a pause before action13:20 — What to do when a memory lapse triggers Alzheimer's fear16:00 — Why family history and genetics are not the whole story18:10 — How emotional awareness connects to healthy habits21:00 — Your next step and what's coming in Part 2Listen now and learn how to stop reacting, start responding, and make your brain-health habits more intentional.Resources MentionedDownload the Practice TLC worksheet:https://moxie-club.com/tlcLearn more about Amy and download brain-health resources:https://amylangcoaching.comOrder Thoughts Are Habits Too and read a free preview:https://thoughtsarehabitstoo.comSubscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@happyandhealthywithamyFollow Amy on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/amylangcoachingFollow Amy on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/amylangcoachingRESOURCES:Download the FREE Excerpt of Thoughts Are Habits TooPurchase Thoughts Are Habits TooBook a FREE Discovery Call with AmyDownload After Mom's Alzheimer's Diagnosis: The First 8 Things to Know and learn how to support her with more calm, clarity, and confidence.Download the RESTORED Protocol: Eight Essential Protective Factors to Build an Alzheimer's-Resistant BrainSchedule your Breakthrough Roadmap session with AmyFollow Amy on Instagram @amylangcoaching  and on Facebook @amylangcoachingSubscribe to Amy's YouTube channel @happyandhealthywithamy

(Show Notes) What if addiction isn't the real problem? In this powerful episode of Why Not Me? Embracing Autism and Mental Health Worldwide, Tony Mantor sits down with psychologist, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author Dr. Adi Jaffe to challenge everything we've been taught about addiction, recovery, trauma, and personal transformation. Drawing from both his professional expertise and his own remarkable journey from addiction and prison to becoming a UCLA-trained psychologist, Dr. Jaffe explains why destructive behaviors often begin as attempts to survive emotional pain—not moral failures. Together they discuss: • Why addiction is often a response to trauma, pain, and unmet emotional needs • The powerful role shame plays in keeping people trapped • Why willpower alone rarely creates lasting change • How habits are formed in the brain—and why changing them takes time • The connection between anxiety, depression, addiction, and self-worth • Why healing begins with understanding instead of judgment • The importance of self-compassion during recovery • How changing your mindset can transform your life Whether you struggle with addiction, love someone who does, or simply want to better understand human behavior, this conversation offers practical wisdom, compassion, and hope.

We discuss the impact of AI and short-form content on the human mind, the science behind motivation, and why beliefs not information are the missing link between knowing what to do and actually doing it.This episode also covers scrolling addiction, po*nography, alcohol, cannabis, food, productivity, quitting vs persistence, hope, prayer, neuroscience, and the powerful frameworks Nir uses to overcome internal triggers and build an indistractable life.

Come take a listen — your future self will thank you.QUOTE OF THE WEEK"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity." — John F.

Send us Fan MailHave you been "about to start exercising" for longer than you'd like to admit? You're not lazy — you're human. And that's exactly the problem this episode solves.In Part 1 of this two-part series, we're ditching the motivation myth and replacing it with something that actually works: a simple, research-backed system that takes the decision-making out of exercise entirely. Because the hardest part of working out isn't doing it — it's deciding whether to do it.We're covering three practical strategies: how to track your movement so your brain stays in the game, how to pre-decide your "when and where" so you stop negotiating with yourself at the worst possible moment, and how to set up your environment so starting feels almost effortless.No gym membership required. No perfect schedule. Just a system your brain can actually follow.Don't miss Part 2 next week — that's where we talk about how to make your brain WANT to come back to exercise again and again. Quote of the week: "We are what we repeatedly do.

Send us Fan MailThe fitness industry makes money when you fail. Troy Taylor spent 20 years at the top of Olympic sport, and now he's the reason Tonal keeps 99% of its members while the rest of the industry churns through them like a revolving door.He and Kevin don't talk about motivation. They talk about why motivation is the wrong thing to chase, what the actual data says about how people build a training habit that sticks, and why everything you've been told about starting a fitness program is probably backwards."It doesn't matter whether you start high or low. What mattered was a little more in week two, a little more in week three, a little more in week four."Troy worked with Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn. The thing that made them exceptional? They showed up more than everyone else and worked on the things they were bad at. That's it. No secret sauce.The same principle wrecks most people's January gym resolution, and the data proves it.This one covers the behavioral science behind exercise adherence, why your first week should be embarrassingly easy, how an hour a week of lifting might be all you need, and what a VP of Performance Innovation actually does when he has 10 minutes and a deadline.Find Troy at @StrengthScienceTroy on Instagram and learn more about Tonal at tonal.com.Instagram: @kevinwhitemdYouTube: @kevinwhitemd Prime Health Associates

Click to Text Thoughts on Today's Episode "It's too late" is the biggest lie we tell ourselves after 60. Allison McCune Davis is here to bust that myth wide open. After 14 years in the natural health space and raising her family, Allison turned 60 and felt a familiar restlessness — the kind that signals a new chapter. That spark led her to write 60 Is a Good Start: A Powerful Body, a Purposeful Life, and a Plan to Make It Happen, a book that challenges the idea that 60 is "the gateway to old age" and reframes it as one of the most opportunity-rich seasons of a woman's life.What We Cover in This Episode:Allison shares how turning 60 triggered a season of deep introspection The biggest myth about life after 60 The self-perpetuating circle of purpose: Body Work, Brain Work & World Work (Allison's framework is rooted in longevity research)The 60-Day DareThe power of rebuilding relationships and communityGet Allison's book, 60 is a Good StartConnect with Allisonhttps://allisonmccunedavis.comInstagram: @allison.mccune.davisFacebook: Allison McCune DavisYouTubeStrong and Vibrant at Home - 7 weeks of app-based at-home strength training designed for women in perimenopause and beyond.

Do you have a habit like smoking or late night snacking that you want to kick, but no matter what you try, you just can't seem to quit? The answer isn't weakness, and it isn't a lack of motivation. It lives in the 88% of your brain you're not consciously controlling, and therapeutic hypnosis (hypnotherapy) may be one of the most underestimated tools available to change it.On Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck and guest Rita Black, a leading clinical hypnotherapist and author, pull back the curtain on hypnosis and hypnotherapy for weight loss, smoking cessation, and breaking stubborn subconscious patterns. If you've ever asked yourself why you can't stop doing something you genuinely don't want to do, this conversation was made for you.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How hypnotherapy works by relaxing the critical filter between your conscious and subconscious mind, making it easier to adopt new habits and beliefs rather than fighting against deeply embedded patterns.✅ Why willpower represents only 12% of your mental power, and how your subconscious patterns from night eating to emotional eating are running the show, whether you realize it or not.✅ How adopting an apprentice mindset and shifting your identity from "dieter" to "learner" can reduce shame, break the start-over-Monday cycle, and create sustainable behavioral change.✅ Three practical self-hypnosis techniques you can use today: the identity shift, the Movie Theater mental practice method, and aversion therapy tools that interrupt dopamine-driven cravings before they take hold.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Rita Black, clinical hypnotherapist and expert in hypnosis for weight loss and smoking cessation05:05 Rita shares her personal story of overcoming addiction through hypnotherapy and becoming a non-smoker10:04 The difference between stage hypnosis and therapeutic hypnosis: entertainment versus real behavioral change14:25 How hypnotherapy relaxes the critical filter so the conscious and subconscious mind can finally align19:36 The ringing phone analogy: why dopamine and expectation drive food cravings and night eating23:06 Three self-hypnosis tools to start using today.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Hard. This word may be deciding how your brain approaches a new habit or behavior. You have probably said it a hundred times that something is just too hard. What if the word itself is the thing standing in your way? Instead, swap ‘this is hard' for ‘this is a challenge'. Is that any better? Jenn breaks down the surprising brain science behind the words we use every day and why some words send us straight into avoidance mode before we even get started. Could one simple word-sway actually rewire your brain and make change feel possible? The answer might surprise you. Like what you're hearing?

Real change isn't about knowing what to do — it's about actually doing it, one small choice at a time.Change doesn't come from one big breakthrough. It comes from the small choices we make over and over — often in moments we barely notice.Eric Zimmer, behavior coach, host of The One You Feed podcast, and author of How A Little Becomes A Lot, says the real challenge isn't figuring out what to do — it's closing the gap between knowing and doing. “We all have areas where we know exactly what would help,” he says. “But somehow, we still don't follow through.” His approach focuses on something simpler and more effective: small, low-resistance actions done consistently over time. “It's not about doing everything,” Zimmer explains. “It's about doing something — again and again — in the same direction.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Zimmer joins host Matt Abrahams to unpack how lasting change actually happens. From building awareness in the middle of everyday life to designing habits that are easier to stick with, he shares practical strategies for turning intention into action. “You don't need to wait until you feel ready,” he says. “You can act even when it's uncomfortable.”Episode Reference Links:Eric ZimmerEric's Book: How a Little Becomes a LotEric's Podcast: The One You FeedEp.86 Building Habits: The Key to Lasting Behavior Change Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:24) - From Addiction to Transformation (03:34) - The “Two Wolves” Parable (05:19) - Awareness in Communication (06:53) - Building Awareness Through Small Habits (08:47) - The Knowing–Doing Gap (10:11) - The SPAR Framework (13:46) - Motivation vs. Action (18:31) - The Final Three Questions (23:58) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

In this revisited Think Thursday episode, Molly explains why March may be a better time than January to build lasting habits. If your New Year's goals have faded, this conversation offers a science-backed reframe: you have not failed. Your brain may simply respond better to change when routines are steadier and the timing supports follow-through.Molly explores the neuroscience of habit formation, the difference between short-term challenges like Dry January and sustainable behavior change, and why the fresh start effect can help you begin again at any time of year. She also shares simple strategies to make new habits easier to repeat and more likely to stick. Source transcript:In this episode:Why most January resolutions lose momentumThe difference between a short-term alcohol break and true habit changeHow the brain responds to the fresh start effectWhy stable routines make behavior change easierHow habit stacking and environmental design support successKey takeawayYou do not need to wait for January 1 to change your drinking habits. Lasting change happens when you work with your brain, not against it.

The secret to building habits that stick.Whether you want to read more books or exercise more regularly, BJ Fogg has good news. “Habits are easier to form than most people think,” he says, “If you do it in the right way.”As the founder and director of Stanford's Behavior Design Lab, Fogg has devoted much of his career to researching human psychology, motivation, and behavior. According to him, habit formation isn't a product of simply doing something over and over again. “It's not a function of repetition,” he says, “it's a function of emotion.”As Fogg discusses with host Matt Abrahams in this Rethinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, bringing our behavior in line with our goals is easier than we think — we just have to know the emotional levers to pull.Episode Reference Links:BJ Fogg Fogg's Book: Tiny HabitsConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:04) - The Information-Action Fallacy (04:47) - The Behavior Model: Motivation, Ability, Prompt (06:27) - Designing a Reading Habit (08:05) - What Is a Habit?

Why beliefs can either cap our potential or push us toward possibility.What you believe about yourself could be holding you back. Fortunately, Nir Eyal says beliefs aren't truths — and you can choose new ones.Eyal is a former lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Stanford d.school, a celebrated author, and a renowned expert on human behavior and potential. His latest book, Beyond Belief, reveals how limiting beliefs — like “I'm a bad communicator” — quietly shape what we see, feel, and do. “A belief doesn't have to be true” to limit our potential, he says. But the same holds in reverse: a belief doesn't have to be true to expand who and what we can become. “Beliefs are tools, not truths. It just has to be useful.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Eyal and host Matt Abrahams explore how to identify the beliefs that hold us back — and how to replace them with ones that propel us forward. From keeping a belief journal to practicing perspective-shifting “turnarounds,” Eyal offers practical tips for rewriting the stories we tell ourselves and becoming the people we want to be.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Nir EyalNir's Book: Beyond Belief104.

Burnout is not a badge of honor. For years, working 22-hour days and never taking holidays was worn as proof of resilience. But the reality is different. A 2025 study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine estimates burnout costs employers between $4,000 and $21,000 per employee per year in lost productivity, disengagement, and turnover. In this Wise Words episode, Justin Tamsett sits down with clinician, scientist, and founder of New Approach Health, Emahlea Wilcher, to unpack what burnout really is, how it impacts your body and brain, and what you can do right now to protect yourself and your team. If you are a coach, club owner, fitness entrepreneur, or leader who feels constantly tired, irritable, foggy, or disconnected, this conversation is essential listening.   Key highlights from the episode: What burnout actually is and how to recognize the early warning signs before you crash How burnout impacts your body, brain, relationships, and income Practical strategies to prevent burnout for yourself and your team   Curious about the future host of Fitness Business Podcast?

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with Doug Bopst, an award-winning personal trainer, author, and host of The Adversity Advantage podcast. Doug shares his powerful transformation from convicted felon and drug addict to recovery advocate and mindset coach. He also discusses how to navigate life's challenges without self-destructing, the dangers of external validation, and why taking responsibility during hard times builds the resilience needed for future success. This raw conversation explores addiction recovery, the pandemic's impact, finding fulfillment beyond money, and how adversity reveals who we truly are. Episode Highlights [2:24]- The biggest misconception about adversity: Doug explains why people believe pain will last forever and how tunnel vision during hard times prevents us from seeing the blessing until we're through it. [25:20] - From jail cell to transformation: Doug recounts his arrest at 20 years old with half a pound of marijuana, his cold turkey detox in jail, and how a cellmate's tough love conversation changed his entire life trajectory. [9:53] - The external validation trap: Why achieving success markers like YouTube plaques doesn't bring lasting happiness, and how chasing external validation becomes a subtle addiction that mentally imprisons us. [39:27] - Pandemic adversity lessons: How the uncertainty of COVID-19 tested Doug's recovery blueprint and proved he could get through anything by controlling what was controllable without self-destructing. Doug Bopst is an award-winning personal trainer, bestselling author of three books, and host of The Adversity Advantage podcast. A former convicted felon and drug addict, Doug spent time in jail in 2008 for possession with intent to sell. While incarcerated, he kicked his addiction, transformed his life, and has been in recovery ever since. Now he's on a crusade to inspire others to overcome adversity and become the best version of themselves, showing that how you respond during hard times determines your future.

In this episode, Sam continues the Multiply series by emphasizing that true discipleship means not only following Jesus personally but actively participating in the work of ministry everywhere believers live, work, and relate. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and 2 Corinthians 5, the message centers on identity in Christ—highlighting that every believer is called to the ministry of reconciliation and equipped to help build up the body of Christ. The episode explores spiritual maturity as being rooted in Jesus rather than shaped by circumstances, stresses the importance of speaking truth in love, and encourages identity-based transformation over mere behavior change. Practical insights from habit formation reinforce the call to align daily life, community, and small consistent actions with the new identity believers have as new creations in Christ.

Healthy habits are one of the greatest gifts we can give our children because habits quietly shape what they love and who they become. In this episode, Davies Owens is joined by Jeff Hendricks, headmaster at Providence Christian School of Texas, for a practical conversation about how formation happens through repeated, everyday actions.Jeff defines a habit as a repeated action that becomes instinctive. It begins with conscious effort, but over time it becomes automatic, like driving a car. That matters because the virtues we hope to see in adulthood, generosity, courage, hospitality, do not appear overnight. They are built through small faithful practices.A key theme throughout the conversation is that there is no neutral setting. Every child is learning habits of one kind or another, intentionally or passively. Jeff also addresses a common misconception: habit formation can sound harsh or overly strict, but discipline on the front end leads to freedom later. Like musicians and athletes, children gain joyful confidence when foundational skills become second nature.Jeff shares several “best of” habits Providence emphasizes with families:Prayer and reading God's Word: not necessarily formal or elaborate, sometimes simply reading Scripture together and praying. The point is consistency and priority.Attention: children cannot learn without it. Jeff offers practical ways to train attention at home, including multi-step instructions, narration, picture study, and observation exercises.Obedience: responding right away and all the way, with the understanding that respectful questions can happen at the right time. This trains children to relate rightly to God-given authority.Neatness and orderliness: restoring order to a space and to routines, even when it takes more time than doing it yourself.Serving others: training children to defer preferences and practice small acts of service that slowly reorient the heart away from self.Working hard and doing your best: building a “work before play” rhythm, teaching excellence without overwork, and helping children grow into wise self-management.In closing, Jeff encourages educators to keep habits simple and intentional, and he encourages parents that it is never too late to begin. Start where you are, choose one habit, and keep it steady. Often the best change is the one you quietly begin and faithfully continue.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:The Herzog FoundationThe Champion GroupWisephone by TechlessZipCastWilson Hill Academy Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!
