Nearly 40% of our daily actions are driven by unconscious habits, many of which can be negative and detrimental to our health and well-being. These ingrained behaviors, such as stress-eating unhealthy snacks, operate without our conscious awareness, making it challenging to identify and break these cycles. In this episode of the SuperLife podcast, I dive into the power of habits and how they shape our lives. I discuss how to successfully change habits and the significant impact that social accountability and environment design have on habit formation. I also discuss the importance of a supportive community and much more!  Don’t forget… You can order now by heading to https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book or order now on Amazon.   Thank you to our sponsors: Barùkas: Go to www.barukas.com and use code DARINPOD10 for a 10% discount.
