The Habits That Make Us with James Clear

Making a change in our lives can feel like a big, all encompassing thing; and sometimes we avoid change because of that very notion. But here’s some good news: making meaningful change in our lives actually starts with one small choice at a time, and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming or hard. This week, we’ve got the inside scoop on how to form habits that you actually want to stick with and someone who is going to let us in on the simple secrets to real and lasting change. James Clear is the bestselling author of “Atomic Habits.” His approach to building sustainable habits has resonated with millions, helping people make positive changes and reach their full potential.
In this conversation, James shares personal stories and scientific principles to empower journeys of growth and transformation. Jen even shares her personal experience of choosing one small habit to do each day in the wake of her seismic divorce and how that choice radically affected the trajectory of her recovery.
Jen and James explore:
How to embrace a 1% improvement mindset - small, incremental changes compound over time and lead to meaningful results.
The willingness to try different approaches and habits until you find what works for you
Why we’ll be set up for success in the long run by having a toolbox of different strategies instead of adhering to specific “must-have” habits
The importance of focusing on your identity and becoming the type of person you want to be, rather than just setting goals.
No matter where you are in life -you have it within you to make meaningful and practical changes in your life.

This was a lovely interview, Jen. I am familiar with James Clear's work. I think what makes his book 'Atomic Habits' so enduring is that it taps into a common thread that belongs to all humans and even animal species. What he has done is to reinforce and to take a deeper look at the true nature of habits. It comes from, as he says, partly from his practical experience, the situations in his life and deep research. It is easily one of my all-time favourite books. I can see why it resonates with millions around the world because he has reminded us of who we are and how we are shaped by our habits. So simple and yet so profound. His success is absolutely well deserved.
Kudos to you too Jen for rising above your challenges and difficult situations. You have really done well for yourself and will continue to do so. Keep up the spirit! Lots of love and greetings from India. ❤
