Graham explains how bad habits get stronger with repetition. Angus’ reaction means that this episode becomes quite comical. The basal ganglia help familiar behaviours become automatic, so the more often you respond to stress by scrolling, avoiding or reaching for a drink, the easier that response becomes your default. To “reprogram” the pattern, recognise the trigger and practise a different response. Put the phone down. Go for a walk. Lift weights. You’re teaching your brain a new routine, and that takes repetition. Make the action small enough to repeat, especially on the hard days.___🏋️Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/
