Nathan Herrington on Building Life-Changing Habits

This week, Dr. Powers and Jamie Demeris chat with Nate Herrington, Founder, and Owner of My Habits Coach. Nathan has a background in education and transformational leadership and has worked with people in many capacities over the last 20 years to support them in creating extraordinary lives.   One of the underlying themes of Nathan’s professional and personal journey has been the power of practice and habit, primarily the small, simple actions that one takes daily. His evidence-based approach to growth is an empowering intervention for the ineffective methods that all humans inevitably engage in to pursue happiness and fulfillment. With the right mindset, structures, and action, Nathan believes that anyone can create a life that they love.   Obtaining his Bachelor’s degree in Spanish and French from the University of Houston in 2003, he has taught ESL, Spanish and French, and even Kindergarten! Leading programs for Landmark Worldwide, an international training, and development program, Nathan became a certified 200 hour registered yoga teacher in 2013.    Currently living in Houston, TX, with his dog Gretchen, Nathan is in a long-distance relationship with his partner Akash, who is pursuing a graduate degree at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. They are both excited for Akash’s graduation in May 2022 to begin their lives together.    Topics Discussed: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Reframing the mindset of “have to” with “get to” </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Distinguishing effective actions to enhance our overall wellbeing</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Rewiring the script of Negativity Bias and forming new, positive habits</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The beauty in bringing creativity to mundane tasks and structures </li> </ul>   Connect with Nathan Herrington: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> Website: <a href= "https://myhabitscoach.mn.co/">https://myhabitscoach.mn.co</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/myhabitscoach">https://www.facebook.com/myhabitscoach</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myhabitscoach/</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-herrington-05530823/"> https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-herrington-05530823/ </a></li> </ul> Connect with Positive Recovery MD Podcast:   <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> Website: <a href= "https://www.positiverecoverymd.com/">https://www.positiverecoverymd.com</a> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Facebook Group: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/577870242872032">https://www.facebook.com/groups/577870242872032</a> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg"> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg</a> </li> </ul>   Connect with Positive Recovery Centers Online:   <div style="margin-left: 2em;"> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters/">https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters/</a> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters/">https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters/</a> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters/"> https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters/</a></li> </ul> </div>   <ul> <li aria-level="1">Pinterest: <a href= "https://www.pinterest.com/positiverecoverycenters/">https://www.pinterest.com/positiverecoverycenters/</a> </li> </ul>     Contact Positive Recovery Centers:   If you or someone you know needs help, visit the website, or call the number below to schedule an assessment.
