What's up everyone, welcome back to the 2nd episode series on Atomic Habits book review. In this episode we discuss after achieving the goal we set, now what??.
We are definitely speaking our truth on our flaws while being transformed by this best seller book.
According to James 'If you are having trouble changing your habits ,the problem is your system'.
Sometimes we return to our emotional eating ,we still binge and get off -track, it's frustrating to say the least.
James Clear identified that doing the right thing must be easiest as possible, the greatest returns are usually delayed.
How self aware are you ?
You do not rise to the level of your goals .You fall to the level of your systems.!!
I hope this episode shows you ,you are not alone and you can change, looking forward to hearing your feedback!!!
Your Habits Compound!!
Have you ever tried to build a new habit and before you know it you fall back in your old routine?
Is motivation overrated?
Have you tried to break that negative habit , did not see any results, felt guilty and discouraged after little or no results?
If this is you, I see you!!
This interview is a book review and Collab conversation with friends from Speak Your Truth Podcast .We decided to review Atomic habits while tracking our daily routines to even include a fitness journey. The results were eye opening ,with the ability to now see the gaps lacking to build higher performing habits. I hope you are patient with yourself and from this become a higher version of yourself by becoming self aware. As James Clear coins it, True behavior change is Identity change .You might start a habit because of motivation but the only reason you will stick with one is that it becomes apart of your identity. Improvements are temporary until they become part of who you are.

What's your grief story?
We choose our background and its experiences!
Hey Guys, I'm back with another episode sharing bits and pieces of my life's ups and downs. In this particular episode I reflect on some past events of my childhood and how the experience has shaped me .It also shows how my parents navigated life experiences at that time. I am forever grateful because they gave me the best they could.
I also show how our start is not our finish and that simply means we have to keep going, I chose the topic because at times we can feel victimized from circumstance when it fact it serves as fuel for purpose.
You get to decide how you interpret each situation.
I value your feedback-how did you spend your childhood moments?
