Why can some of my patients lose weight while others cannot? Some patients can stop smoking or drinking or biting their nails, and others struggle. Was their childhood home structured or chaotic? Can some people succeed with certain habit change and fail at others? Is it the person or the habit?
What habits create change?
Habits
Do you have any habits? Some people think of "bad habits" when they hear the word habit. Others think of healthy, disciplined tasks.
Take My Survey I created a survey to analyze the habits and routines of people who have been both successful and unsuccessful in creating change in their lives. I love learning from REAL people with real stories.
Routines
When collecting my research, I found the word "routines" evoked less emotion than habit. Some people feel shame with the word habit. I had never considered that until I witnessed it.
