Ep. 118 | Ignite: Bouncing Back When January & February Fall Short - Habit Change with Dr. Avanti & Dr. Tanmeet

 
Ep. 118 The Healing Catalyst Podcast with Tanmeet Sethi

Dr. Avanti is joined by return guest, Dr. Tanmeet Sethi to delve into the complexities of habit formation and the common pitfalls of New Year's resolutions. They explore the neuroscience behind habits, emphasizing the role of self-compassion over self-criticism in fostering sustainable change. Their conversation highlights the importance of aligning habit formation with natural rhythms and seasons. For example, although winter is often seen as a time for new beginnings, it may be better suited for reflection and rest. They explore practical strategies for habit change, such as making the desired action easy and enjoyable, and reframe "failure" as a valuable part of the learning process.
