Do you believe habits are \u2018good\u2019 or \u2018bad\u2019? Are you constantly trying to create better habits and quit those that don\u2019t serve you? Today\u2019s guest has insights that will help get your New Year off to a great start by truly understanding what habits are \u2013\xa0and how to optimise them.\n\nJames Clear is an entrepreneur and New York Times best-selling author of Atomic Habits a handbook for anyone who wants to finally get to grips with successful behaviour change. He shares his learnings via his hugely popular newsletters, to help people use the psychology of habit formation to live healthier, fuller lives.\n\nWe talk about \u2018designing your environment\u2019, building a tribe around you who support what you want to achieve and finding the path of least resistance to what you want to do. When it comes to good versus bad habits, James says it\u2019s more about which are effective \u2013 are they serving you?\n\nWe also discuss how true behaviour change is really identity change. Every action you take towards your goal is a vote for the person you wish to become. You\u2019re no longer that someone who tries to go for a run three times a week, you\u2019re a runner. James says we can all begin by asking ourselves \u2018Who do I want to become?\u2019 then looking at what habits we might need to build that identity.\n\nThis is such a useful conversation, packed with practical tips, and I think it\u2019s a great way to kick off the year. I know you\u2019re going to feel fired up to seek out your new identity once you listen.\xa0\n\nSupport the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
