Destroy Bad Habits
Learn to destroy bad habits and to add good ones that will transform your life!
There is a reason that you have struggled to lose weight or to quit smoking. It’s the same reason that you haven’t taken up that new hobby, started exercising or began to write that novel. It’s the same reason that has caused you to give up on every new year’s resolution.
Change is hard.
We are creatures of habit. Typically, habits serve us well: allowing us to maintain a comfortable norm, allowing us to process complex information and make decisions quickly.
If we always do what we have always done, we will always get what we have always got.
Great, until you want to make a change. Breaking bad habits and replacing them with positive ones doesn’t come naturally for most people. We need guidance and support throughout the process, as well as an approach that will help us to overcome the obstacles that pop up along the way.
In this course you will learn how to:
- find the time and mental space necessary to implement new habits
- deal with the cravings and mental ruts formed by bad habits
- track your progress in order to motivate and provide evidence of your growing success
- form a ‘strong why’, which acts as an anchoring point to motivate you to push on
- enlist the support of friends and family
- instill a morning routine, and learn the important role meditation and therapy in habit breaking
- forgive yourself and get back on the wagon
Let’s destroy some bad habits together!

Why You Should Complete This Project:
Doing this project makes it real. Not only will it set it in your mind, but by putting it online and showing me, you will be adding social pressure (both from me and others). This will help you to stick to your why.
It is all too easy to watch Skillshare courses and not do the project. This is a shame, as the projects are a great way to solidify the learning.
Do this project. Write up your why. Share it with me and print it off and put it on your wall.
Look at it daily.
