Ep. 41 - Habits & How to Change a Habit

Have you ever felt emotionally out of control? Do you find it difficult to break “bad” habits? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes Stuart, a friend and client, to shut up and sit down with her to dive into chapter 8 which is all about habits and The Habit Loop. As a seasoned corporate executive and leader, Stuart sheds light on the transformation he has experienced since learning how to shut up and sit down and practice mindfulness. As they introduce the concept of The Habit Loop, you’ll learn how habits are created and the importance of recognizing your triggers. Plus, the pair discuss the effects of gratitude and ritual in the process of changing behaviors and releasing narratives.

“Mindfulness doesn’t fix or cure anything, what mindfulness gives us is the ability to recover… and we recover quicker.” - Yedda

If you have habits that don’t serve your highest good, you’re not alone. The first step is understanding how habits work and why they’re so powerful. Listen in to hear about the event that led to Stuart’s break through, causing him to realize the power of habits and begin this revolutionary self-work. 

 “Do the work. It can be life-changing. Do it on your own time. Be vulnerable. Be accessible to yourself. If you want to change and become a more grounded, more present person that is better for your family, better for yourself, better in your community… I’d encourage you and push you, if you’re thinking about doing it, do it. If you’re in it, finish it.” - Stuart
