Welcome to today’s episode. We’re diving into the fascinating world of habits and how to shape them. Did you know that the secret to forming good habits and breaking bad ones might lie in tricking your own brain? According to a recent article from The Economist, our brains can be surprisingly malleable. The key is to create positive cues that trigger beneficial behaviors, even if they feel foreign at first.

The article suggests starting small: “Aim for tiny changes that can accumulate into major transformations.” This way, you're not overwhelmed, and you can gradually build your new habit. To break bad habits, identify the triggers that lead to them and replace those with something positive. “It’s all about the risks and rewards,” the article states, emphasizing that our brain is wired to seek immediate gratification.

So, if you want to cultivate better habits, remember—it’s about making brain-friendly choices. Keep it simple, stay consistent, and watch the transformation unfold.
