Every single person in this world has both good and bad habits, and every day we are tasked with the choice of which of those we're going to feed.
Ever feel like your habits are too rigid to keep up with your unpredictable life? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Stephen Guise, the international best-selling author of *Elastic Habits: How to Create Smarter Habits That Adapt to Your Day*. Guise shares his innovative approach to forming habits that can bend and stretch to fit your daily challenges.
Forget the one-size-fits-all mentality; Guise's method is all about creating habits that offer flexibility and multiple paths to success. Guise and Zimmer dive into the concept of 'elastic habits', discussing how they provide both lateral and vertical flexibility. Lateral flexibility means having different ways to achieve the same goal, while vertical flexibility allows you to adjust the intensity of your actions. This dynamic approach makes it easier to stick to good habits even when life throws you a curveball.
They also talk about the importance of understanding why bad habits exist in the first place. Sometimes, these habits fulfill a need that isn't being met elsewhere. By recognizing this, you can create smarter habits that not only replace the bad ones but also address those underlying needs. One standout idea from the conversation is that everyone has both good and bad habits, and each day we decide which ones to nurture.
Guise's elastic habits offer a practical way to make sure you're feeding the right ones. Whether you're looking to improve your health, boost productivity, or just live a more balanced life, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable tips. Tune in to hear more about how you can make your habits work for you, not against you.
