    Ever wondered why it's so tough to kick those pesky bad habits? Join me, Matt Brooks, on the Barrier Busting Podcast as we uncover the fascinating psychology behind why bad habits stick and how to break free from them. You'll learn that bad habits aren't a sign of weakness but are deeply ingrained behaviors, often rooted in stress, boredom, or anxiety. Our brains don't differentiate between good and bad habits, making the fight against negative behaviors a continuous battle. Together, we'll explore why shaming individuals over their habits is detrimental and emphasize the importance of compassion.

    Inspired by James Clear’s "Atomic Habits," we'll explore practical strategies to make bad habits invisible, unattractive, difficult, and unsatisfying. Discover how altering your environment, mindset, and social circles can support discipline far better than sheer willpower. I'll share actionable advice on using commitment devices and creating negative consequences for unwanted behaviors to increase your chances of success.
