Description
Stop waiting for motivation to build healthy habits. Learn the science of using intention to create lasting change in your life.
Today, I’m joined by Mel Robbins, bestselling author of The Let Them Theory and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast. We talk about what helps us follow through, how our surroundings shape our habits, and how to support the people we love without trying to control their choices.
Here’s what we get into:
- How to catch yourself before you talk yourself out of taking action
- Why healthy choices don’t have to depend on feeling motivated
- How to stop letting other people’s reactions and opinions consume your energy
- What you can try when someone you love resists your efforts to help
- Ways to build a clearer picture of what you want your life to look like as you get older
I know firsthand how hard it can be to start again. During my recovery from back surgery, even the smallest movements took effort. Having something I wanted to get back to helped me keep going. Being able to play with my grandson gives me a reason to keep building strength today. Whatever your reason is, it deserves a place in the everyday decisions you make about your health.
Thank you to everyone who voted for *The Dr. Hyman Show* in this year’s Signal Awards. We won four awards, including two Listener’s Choice honors made possible by your votes.
