Revealing the Facts: 6 Misconceptions About Behavior Change
Despite the enormous body of information on behavior change, many people find changing unwanted behaviors—whether around weight loss, work, or relationships—to be among the most frustrating and elusive struggles in their lives. The National Institutes of Health reports that 97% of individuals who set a goal of weight loss will either fail to lose the weight or keep it off for a span of five years. Social media is filled with self-help gurus who often blame this on a lack of inner attributes. But what if that’s a completely false narrative? Psychologists call this perspective an attribution error, where we assume someone’s failure to change is due to a lack of character rather than external factors.
In this episode, I share my own experiences and struggles with behavior change, debunking common misconceptions that hinder our progress. We’ll explore how external factors, information overload, and conflicting advice, among other things, can make behavior change seem impossible. Drawing from personal stories and psychological insights, we’ll delve into proven strategies that can help you make meaningful changes in your life.
If you have ever struggled with behavior change or are seeking to change some aspect of your life but feel apprehensive based on past experiences, lack of confidence, or simply not knowing what to do, this episode is for you. I will share insights that will help eliminate the guesswork from behavior change. This will save you time, energy, and frustration while giving you the confidence and power to make the changes that support what you value most in your work and life.
