If we have habits that work for us, it's just going to be a lot easier to be happier, healthier, more productive and more creative.
Ever wondered why some habits stick while others fade away? In this episode of The FitMind Podcast, host Liam McClintock sits down with bestselling author Gretchen Rubin to explore the fascinating world of habits and happiness. Known for her books like 'The Happiness Project' and 'Better Than Before', Rubin dives into the mechanics of habit formation and how they can shape our mental fitness and overall happiness.
Rubin, who has sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide, brings her wealth of knowledge to the table, discussing the importance of inner expectations and the role of willpower in habit-making. She breaks down her famous Four Tendencies framework, which categorizes people based on how they respond to inner and outer expectations. This episode is packed with practical advice, from creating systems that support good habits to using outer accountability to your advantage.
One intriguing topic Rubin touches on is the impact of clutter on the mind. She explains how a tidy environment can lead to a clearer mind, making it easier to stick to positive habits.

This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to improve their mental fitness and engineer their own happiness.
Whether you're trying to kick a bad habit or cultivate a new one, Rubin's practical strategies and empathetic approach offer valuable guidance. Tune in to learn how you can take control of your habits and boost your happiness.
