HABITS W/JAMIL FRAZIER

Season 5 of the Cultivation Podcast is about words to live by and this episode features guest Jamil Frazier. He and Tom discuss the meaning behind “Habits”.

The author, motivational speaker, health coach and CEO shares how his habits shaped his journey. The former college athlete and pharmaceutical sales rep went from a failing marriage and unemployment to a breakthrough by getting his health back. He notes that the journey from a bad place to continuing success was shaped by forming the right habits.

Habit is settled tendency or usual manner of behavior; acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly involuntary; behavior pattern acquired by repetition. Habits are neither good or bad, it’s what you’re doing with them and what their outcome is.

Jamil said the most important habits to move you forward depend on what you want. Failures come when we don’t know what we want, what our goals are. He notes that our habits can be subconscious, so forming new habits requires intentional repetition based upon what we want.

Tom adds that our goals should identify the habits we need to move us closer to that goal, and those we need to remove from our lives. Jamil seconded that by saying this approach is what changed his life around, and fostering healthy habits gave him freedom to pursue what he wanted for his future.
