Your Personal Panty Kickers are back with a Karate chop and a high kick to your BOOTY! Season Three of Kick in the Panties is all about GOALS: setting them, achieving them and moving you to improve your daily life and ignite your self love.
In episode 4 we talked about figuring out who we need to bring in to help us achieve our big goals. Friends, Mentors, Groups, or books can be powerful tools to propel us toward success. Nothin’ happens in a vacuum, so let’s link up to others to energize and optimize our goals! This week in episode 5, we look closely at our good, bad, best and worst habits and how they relate to our ability to achieve our established goals.
Carolyn says:
* Habits are your life. They determine whether you’re going to be successful more than anything else. I’m sue you could look at a person’s habits and tell whether they are leading happy healthy lives or not. * We have these neuropathways in our brains whose connections get stronger every time we do an activity which is really how a habit is made, the pathway gets so strong that a behavior becomes automatic and when you’re trying to change the behavior you are literally trying to carve out or create a new pathway.* Read this book Atomic habits by James Clear. It’s my favorite book on habits and I’ve read a lot of them, but this is the only book that has changed me. His book teaches that the tiniest improvements over time actually amount to huge results.* Focus on Keystone Habits, these are habits that tend to domino effect into other positive habits.
Becca says:
* Developing clear goals for life that align with strong habits will actually make you happier and change your brain chemistry. * Establishing great habits, that you don’t have to think about seems too strict or regimented (and it is for a time) but once you have it down you’re giving yourself more freedom.* Take advantage of present bias, and use temptation bundling – doing something you don’t want to do and something you love to do at the dame exact moment.
