Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, Megan explains why the struggle isn't about a lack of discipline or motivation instead how your brain builds habits. You'll learn why consistency feels so hard, how years of dieting can make healthy behaviors more difficult, and why imperfect action is key. You'll learn: • Why knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different skills • How your "habit brain" resists change and why that's completely normal • Why consistency beats perfection every time • How doing habits imperfectly helps them become automatic • Why restrictive dieting can make healthy habits harder to build • How to shift your focus from the scale to the habits that create lasting results If you've ever wondered why you can stick to healthy habits for a while but always seem to fall back into old patterns, this episode will help you understand what's really happening and what to do instead! The goal isn't to be perfect. The goal is to keep showing up long enough for healthy habits to become your new normal.
