Old habits die hard – and new ones can seem as fragile as a house of cards. Anyone who’s seen a New Year’s resolution fizzle before February knows the frustration, disappointment, blame, and shame that emerge when desired habits don’t stick. At those times, these questions torment us:

• Why is this so hard?
• Why do I keep failing?
• How can I halt this cycle of discarded habits?

The secret is this: Building new habits – around nutrition, exercise, sleep, and most other healthy endeavors – starts with believing that you’re capable and deserving of change. How you see yourself dictates how you move yourself forward (or backward), and blame is not propulsion fuel. Here, clinical psychologist and habits expert Christine Li, PhD, exposes the myth of willpower and offers an alternative, nuanced exploration of how habits work (and don’t work), and why changing what you do requires changing how you think about your behavior and how much you trust and believe in yourself.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• About the basic architecture of habits: cue, routine, reward
• How to align decision-making and behavior with future goals
• How to identify roadblocks to habit-building, including self-judgment
• What a reasonable, achievable action plan for a new habit looks like
• About the critical relationship between self-compassion and habit-building
