Can you share one habit you’d like to break, and one habit you’d like to build? Remember-today’s course material provides a Habit Loop PDF worksheet for you to explore these and make an action plan!
I LOVE Your hair this color and style 😍🥰. Sooooo happy to see Kristen as that You still include Her 🥰. I do need to eat a little healthier and be more active🚶♀️This year I will also STOP people in their tracks when they use me, manipulate me, condescend me, patronize me, bully me, and use me as their verbal / emotional punching bag etc etc. I nicely pulled my older sister up on it and then she didn’t talk to me for two weeks. Her issue not mine 😉
I definitely think so, I appreciate the way you explained how Western Medicine has evolved into a reductionist practice. I'm increasingly frustrated by this approach, but I see how it becomes a vicious cycle.
I'd like to break the habit of judging myself when I overeat or my weight goes up when I am putting in so much effort to sustain it. It is hard to not become discouraged and to talk negatively to myself. I want to change this habit to be more compassionate to myself because I will mess up or not always get the results I want, but what matters is that I am consistent and putting in the effort and even if I mess up, I can gently and compassionately get back to where I was when I go astray.
"The more I'm willing to look, the less scary it becomes" I found this so profound and relevant and true. Anything I've avoided looking at - my poor spending choices, my bank account and my diet - I haven't been able to change because I was not letting myself fully see the issue. The more you avoid something, the more you want to avoid it because avoidance is the behaviour we carry out in response to an anxiety inducing stimulus. No one wants to experience negative emotions! By seeing it clearly you realise that its not some enormous mountain, and your anxiety decreases. When you remove negative emotions (guilt, shame, and fear) you can see that small, easy, simple changes are all you need.
one habit I'd like to break is eating fast food when I'm uncomfortable (anxious, stressed, sad). and the habits i work on right now are reading and journaling every day. my goal is 10 minutes a day at least and I've done both every day since the start of the year. in future I'd also like to add meditation in my daily routine, but not right now or I'll get overwhelmed. also fixing my abysmal sleep schedule is a dream of mine lol
I used to think that I wasn't an emotional eater, that I just ate because I wanted to enjoy the taste of the food...and keep tasting that yumminess. I could never link my eating to a particular episode of negative emotions. Today I realised why I do this, and that what I do is actually emotional eating. I never used to be terribly motivated by food, until my mid teens. When I was nearly 15yo we returned to Australia after living overseas for six years. I did. not. want. to. come. back. I remember being really really angry when I discovered we had returned when there were still five months left on our visas and we could have stayed. I began getting eczema for the first time in my life because I was highly stressed. We didn't know it at the time, but we all suffered really severe reverse culture shock that lasted about five years - almost as long as we had been away. That is the season in which I began to overeat foods that I really enjoyed, because I wanted to keep experiencing that enjoyment - it was the opposite of everything else I was feeling. That obviously set up a strong habit loop that I never identified and so never sought to change. Now that I know I can do that. The really silly thing is that eating food doesn't just bring my enjoyment. It also brings me weight gain, elevated blood pressure, painful joints, not enjoying exercise, indigestion and insomnia. How dumb to continue that loop!!! The reason I continue that behaviour loop is that that my job brings up all that overwhelmed, anxious, stressed emotion daily. I can't change my job situation in the short term, but now that I know what I'm dealing with, I can work on changing the way I manage it. Sorry for the little novel here, but I'm just now putting things together that have been brewing for 35 years.
Thank you for sharing, almost a year later and this comment was so helpful to me. I hope you've been having a positive journey despite the current pandemic!
@@Cindy-bo7gi I'm so glad you found that little novel helpful. It was good to be reminded of this myself, so thank you for commenting. The past 12 months have been pretty rubbish in our house for lots and lots of reasons. We're all OK and cautiously hoping 2022 will be far better. Hope the next year sees you thriving and delighting in all that is precious in your life.
A habit I started recently is journaling what I eat each day. As well, I watch a meditation video and your video every evening which I am really enjoying. As a teacher I thoroughly appreciate all the work you have put into this course A+
that is so amazing, thank you, Erin!! I appreciate that. Have you accessed the free course content? There are journal prompts daily, and guided meditations-if you want some variety :) Please be well!
I want to break the habit of turning to food when i get discomfort from being around people for too long, A habit a wanna build is waking up early and spending more hours studying I wish i knew before that it was only a matter of Mind Over Munch I didnot know the reason of me binging was my abmiverted personality! Thank you❤
I'd like to break my habit of ruminating on negative beliefs, and I'd like to build a habit of creating art every day. This is such great content thank you for breaking down the habit loop!
I’m struggling with maintaining any good habits- currently on bad sleep, no exercise, eating out whenever possible, occasionally eating meat despite giving it up for most of last year. None of these feel like me and they obviously aren’t good for me but still unable to break the chain
I see some good awareness in this comment though-the fact that you know there is a "chain" to break is a great first step! Now, it's about identifying the specifics of the chain, and figuring out where there may be an "out." The course materials today give some worksheets to help you map out habit loops and rewrite them!
I’m working on breaking the habit to look towards crazy diets to lose weight fast when I’m feeling anxious about my weight (I haven’t done one in over 2 years but I don’t even want the consideration in my head anymore). I want to build the habit of working on preventative care of managing anxiety and stress so that it does not create problems in other areas of my health.
I LOVE these goals, Maisey! Such wonderful habits that can set you up for peace and happiness. This is ultimately the goal :) Be patient and kind to yourself along the way!
Charles Duhigg "The power of habit" is an excellent book on this topic (I had the audio book so I could listen while working, driving, etc). It offers some great examples of good/bad habits, how/if they changed, how habits can be used as commercial tools to draw us in, etc. Try wearing a Bob Ross wig next time you draw ;) Getting back into the kitchen was a big change for me. Housework was too but it's slipped a little lol. The negative habits and loops are tougher simply because there's resistance to see, recognize, acknowledge and own ... "work-in-progress" ...
Wonderful! Thank you for the recommendation! Love that you acknowledged the “resistance to see”... this is the hardest part! Opening up to this and being willing to see is essential.
Currently breaking the habit of late night snacking ... scaling it back half hour at a time, it was not the snack that is the issue, but how late I was doing it ... this has worked great, I no longer eat after 7:30-8:00 pm. I have also been building a water drinking habit, I could honestly go 2 days without a drop of water 😲 ... I now have goals in mind, more like rules - I drink one bottle before I can have coffee, drink a second bottle before I break for lunch and one through the afternoon before dinner. Setting these parameters has made me aware and now becoming a habit.
I really loved this video, it really enlightened me to what habits really are and what we can do to change them. I have plenty of habits I'd like to change, but I feel like I need to sit down and think about my habit loops for each. Not being able to follow through with my intermittent fasting is one for me!
Thanks so much, Jennie! So glad it resonated :) Yes! Mapping out those habit loops is so helpful! In the free course content I included worksheets for both mapping out habits you want to break, and habits you want to build! :) Hope they can help you out.
I'm working on night time snacking---I use a habit tracker in my planner and enjoy seeing the checkmarks start to accumulate. But you still have to do the work of thinking about the habit and how it doesn't serve. Interesting content! Thank you!
thank you! Yes-great point. The checkmarks are a piece of it, but that "awareness" and introspective piece is also very important. That's getting clear about our why-and ensures we stick with it! That's how mindfulness has really helped me-being willing to take a look :)
Habit Loop! Aha moment for me! Sunday hikes, I found a group of friends who hike with me. With Covid we meet at trail head now it is a habit to gather where/time and group text the next hike. Now if the gals don’t hear from me by Tuesday they start either asking me or planning a hike for our group. I’ve hiked every Sunday since December 🥾 hiking habit
This was sooo helpful!! I hope to make progress using the mindfulness and awareness I think it has helped me to make the goal “progress” rather than “fixed”
Storytime. I really want to meet this amazing researcher. I told myself if I stuck to my workout goals, my reward would be to fly across the country to meet him. (This was in 2019). My husband agreed. Did it work? No. I barely worked out that year. I think the reward was too unrelated to the goal or maybe it didn't feel real enough. I think I need a reward for every single time I workout until it becomes ingrained otherwise it won't stick.
I'm so sorry it didn't work out! When it comes to habit loops at a micro level (building new habits or rewriting old ones), the reward does need to be immediate-it's more about how to stick with the habit in the short term, so it becomes more natural in the long. Our brains will start to associate the "behavior" or activity with the "reward" it knows is coming. So it's wonderful to still set goals and "reward" yourself with larger scale values, but that immediacy is important for habit building in the way we're "neuroscientifically" discussing it here :)
I am so addicted to Coca Cola Zero. I have tried so anytime to quit it. But it is such a big reward in my system that I find it really hard to quit. When I have a hard day I want my coke. If I am sad there is my coke. But I know it is so bad for me. My dentist even warned me the my teeth degrading cause of the soda. I am now trying to condition to drink water. So I bought a smart bottle to drink water. I am know in week one. And I enjoy seeing the progress during the day. And I know I have quit the habit but I hit the target everyday. There fore I am reducing my soda intake. I hope this will help me to after time goes by to quit the habit.
I hear you! I used to be addicted to diet coke... I still love the stuff! I let myself have one occasionally, but it took a period of time of going completely without it. Keep listening and tuning in, and perhaps some habit loop mapping can help!
Ooooh okay!!! I was looking for the extra materials. I didn't realize it was on the materials but they seem like journals rather than transcripts. I'll have another look. I'm looking forward to more
I started reading "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg ... what a great coincidence/connection to this video. I'd like to break the habit of mindless and emotional eating and build a habit of a consistent exercise regimen. P.S. I gained 10 lb. in college when a Krispy Kremes opened up on campus. =D
I really really appreciate your help I exercise all the time but I can't lose weight because I am out of control with my eating thank you and God bless you sis

@Zena Blackhawk She is not a neuroscientist, she is a communication pathologist. Her qualifications are in communication pathology, audiology and logopaedics (speech pathology). Her Masters and PhD are still in communication pathology, but specialising in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology.
All the way through these videos Alyssia says the course is free and always will be. So sad that when I went to sign up, it turned out to be $99. Loving the videos, really wanted to take this further, but can't afford $99 sadly
while I agree with habit replacements to suit your needs, I feel that if you try to meditate with a goal in mind, whole trying to achieve something, you're not meditating at all.
Hii, i am in a strict and restrictive diet since 13 years. I have an eating disorder. I can't understand why after all this time I am not able to hate sugar. All the time I want to eat cakes, cookies and normal food. I know that my diet is very bad for my health, but unhealthy food too. I need to brake a lot of bad habits, it is a huge challange for me. I am afraid of doing it, but I need to change my mind, because I am in a jail.
It is a lot to untangle and is not a linear process. Getting in touch with our "inner wisdom" I really think is key! I encourage you to watch the videos from Day 1, 2 and 3 to get started! Be patient and kind with yourself.
@@MindOverMunch Thank you so much. I need to find my inner wisdom because the life that I have is a torture. I love eating, but with fears, rules and jugments is imposible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your expience. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'd love you to be a heroin addict (I don't. God forgive me, that's just awful...I'm so so sorry) but if you were, would you be able to say the say things in the same way? I know heroin is so much more addicting than alcohol but that's where I am... 10am Wednesday morning, under the influence trying to pretend to everyone (including myeslf) than I'm OK... I'm normal... I'm not addicted to the one thing I've got free access to. Please my dear.... please understand that there's people out there that only wish they were standing in the shoes you are standing in. Would give anything to be in the life you are living. I'm not subscribing... I'm not liking... I'm one of those people that have accidentally came across one of your videos that you'll never hear from again that lives at the other corner of the the world. Honestly, I wish you all the best ❤
This video was not intended for addiction specifically, but interestingly Dr. Judson Brewer who designed the habit loop I discuss did most of his research based on smoking addiction. You might find his research helpful or relevant if that's what you need. Many thanks. sending love.

I love how excited Alyssia gets when she talks about science! 🧠😃
lol omg this comment made my day. Thank you Cat!
One habit I would like to break is reaching for sweets when I feel sad and One I would like to build is remembering to take vitamins everyday

Amazing job as always girl!!!
I was so excited that you brought up neuroscience, it is mind blowing and life changing!
I have been following a neuroscientist on youtube for a couple years now and it has truly been transformative.
Her name is Caroline Leaf ( if you’re interested 😊).
Anyways, keep up the good work!
I appreciate your commitment to sharing this vital information with all of us!!
💖😁
Thanks for sharing!! So looking forward to checking her out. Thank you so much!!
Absolutely!!
Yay so happy hear that, I think you will really enjoy her, she’s an expert and totally relatable!💕
@Zena Blackhawk
I can see why her channel might seem a bit confusing at first glance.
She has decades of experience in the field of neuroscience, and uses her wealth of knowledge to use her podcast as a platform, to educate people how to use these tools to improve their lives in such a wholistic way.
If you have the opportunity to fully listen to one of her recent podcasts, I think you’ll see how she connects the science to everyday life.
I hope this helps and I hope you have a super blessed New Year 😊
@Zena Blackhawk She is not a neuroscientist, she is a communication pathologist. Her qualifications are in communication pathology, audiology and logopaedics (speech pathology). Her Masters and PhD are still in communication pathology, but specialising in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology.
You had to live in Raleigh NC to live across the street from a Krispy Kreme Donut Shop while in college!🤣
I don’t have any routine or schedule in my life. So my habits ARE around food. Sadly. Preparing a cup of tea. Cooking three meals a day.
oh yes! It's interesting how our schedules can revolve around food, isn't it? Great awareness there...
All the way through these videos Alyssia says the course is free and always will be. So sad that when I went to sign up, it turned out to be $99. Loving the videos, really wanted to take this further, but can't afford $99 sadly
The videos are still all here for free :) The additional worksheets and material are in the paid course. Much love.
So fascinating! Thank U for sharing this!!
Thank you!!! 🙏🙌
My habit I’d like to become more intentional about is being mindful of my food.
I love that!!
Are these PDF's still available, or is the course no longer free?
The course is no longer free, there is a link in the description-the videos remain on TH-cam for free access, however
Mind over matter where it begins
Great content. I appreciate!
Thank you!
while I agree with habit replacements to suit your needs, I feel that if you try to meditate with a goal in mind, whole trying to achieve something, you're not meditating at all.
totally! I've found it requires a balance of commitment to this "path" of meditation, while letting go of expectations or any goal.
Speaking of Habits, have you read the book High Performance Habits by Brenden Burchard?
The best. Highly recommend
yes! I have the book and I love him!
Thanks.
Thank you!
That was powerful!
thank you, Lauren!
How was your first
My goal is to stop eating fast food an cut down on drinking sodas an sugary drinks its soo hard!#
Hii, i am in a strict and restrictive diet since 13 years. I have an eating disorder. I can't understand why after all this time I am not able to hate sugar. All the time I want to eat cakes, cookies and normal food. I know that my diet is very bad for my health, but unhealthy food too. I need to brake a lot of bad habits, it is a huge challange for me. I am afraid of doing it, but I need to change my mind, because I am in a jail.
It is a lot to untangle and is not a linear process. Getting in touch with our "inner wisdom" I really think is key! I encourage you to watch the videos from Day 1, 2 and 3 to get started! Be patient and kind with yourself.
@@MindOverMunch Thank you so much. I need to find my inner wisdom because the life that I have is a torture. I love eating, but with fears, rules and jugments is imposible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your expience. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I want to break the habit of snacking all night until I go to bed and also eating fast food
Awesome! Try the habit loop worksheet in the course materials out and see if it helps.
@Turtle Riley Depends on what you snack on and how often. Even if not overweight, snacking can have a negative effect on health, and teeth.
Fantastic video. Btw I think your very cute and pretty. Also I like your red hair, suits you. 👌 😁❤
It is hard for me to lose weight
diet change
Hehe first

Really? You still a kid? What does that comment add to this video?
I'd love you to be a heroin addict (I don't. God forgive me, that's just awful...I'm so so sorry) but if you were, would you be able to say the say things in the same way?
I know heroin is so much more addicting than alcohol but that's where I am... 10am Wednesday morning, under the influence trying to pretend to everyone (including myeslf) than I'm OK... I'm normal... I'm not addicted to the one thing I've got free access to.
Please my dear.... please understand that there's people out there that only wish they were standing in the shoes you are standing in. Would give anything to be in the life you are living.
I'm not subscribing... I'm not liking... I'm one of those people that have accidentally came across one of your videos that you'll never hear from again that lives at the other corner of the the world.
Honestly, I wish you all the best ❤
This video was not intended for addiction specifically, but interestingly Dr. Judson Brewer who designed the habit loop I discuss did most of his research based on smoking addiction. You might find his research helpful or relevant if that's what you need. Many thanks. sending love.
Is that Jim Gaffigan?😂
