246: The Power Of Habits with Gina Cleo

You know some conversations you have and you just love? I got off this conversation with Dr Gina Cleo with a big smile on my face. What a wonderful, smart, beautiful human!

In this episode I ask Gina about how we create habits that last. Whether our success in having the habits we want comes from will power, motivation, or something else.

We talk about the difference between the reflexive and reflective part of the brain.

I am sharing my experiment with being my best self and why it failed.

Gina kindly shared one of the worst moments of her life and how she managed to harness all of the knowledge she’d gained about good habits to rebuild her life and come through to the other side stronger and happier.

Dr. Gina Cleo is one of the world’s leading experts in habits and is passionate
about translating scientific evidence into simple, actionable strategies to help
improve health, wellness, mindset, and lifestyle-related habits – long-term. Gina
has a PhD in habit change, is an Adjunct Professor at Bond University and an
Accredited Practicing Dietitian.

Gina’s habit change research has been published in medical journals globally
and she has appeared for over 250 news outlets including many of Australian’s
major television networks; ABC News, Today Show & Studio 10. She is also a
regular keynote speaker and expert panelist at national and international
conferences.

When she’s not geeking out on new habit research, Gina is running courses
through her Habit Change Institute and obsessing over chai lattes. She has also
recently published a book, ‘The Habit Revolution’.

It’s a good one!

What is the significance of habits in personal growth and development? What is the importance of paying attention to existing habits that may hinder personal growth and adopting new habits that promote positive change? It might be hard to remain creative and productive in the fast-paced world of today. Burnout poses a serious risk, particularly when balancing the demands of both personal and professional commitments.

Here's how we can maintain productivity and creativity while avoiding burnout through habits and therapy.

• Prioritizing Sleep
