Making Habits Stick - Webinar (05/21/24)

I recently read an article from a group of psychologists that said it takes 18 to 254 days to create a habit. 18 to 254!! That’s quite a range. No wonder we never know whether or not we’ve “arrived”! And often we focus on the time to develop that habit rather than the process we are using to get there, which can result in…no results.

In this webinar, based on James Clear’s bestselling book titled Atomic Habits, we’re going to delve deeper into the “how” of developing a habit, rather than the “how long.” According to James, there are 4 laws we can follow that will result in new habits – and the inverse is true; if we do the opposite of those 4 laws, we can break bad ones.

Don’t let the word “law” worry you – he gives us simple guidelines to make sure we are moving in the right direction. Don’t miss this opportunity to reflect on a topic that can make a meaningful difference in your life!
