You’re probably thinking about your habits all wrong. And I bet that when you feel like you’ve failed at your habits, you’re thinking about that wrong, too. It’s easy to get hell-bent on perfection or lost in procrastination, but your still soul craves progress.

Monica Packer is joining us on the podcast this week. She’s the host of the podcast “About Progress” and a coach to countless women that need help getting practical and realistic about their habits.

If you want to know why you struggle so much with consistency and sticking with your routines, and you find yourself constantly discouraged by how your habits look, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, we’re discussing the unique challenges women face in habit formation, emphasizing the impact of invisible labor and the need for supportive habits. Our discussion really highlighted the importance of flexibility in habits, the necessity of embracing failure, and the shift in mindset required to foster personal growth and self-care.

Here were some of my favorite takeaways:

• Women often feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities, impacting their ability to form habits.
• “Invisible labor”, the unseen work women do, significantly affects habit formation. So traditional habit methods are often designed by men and may not suit women's needs.
• Habits should be viewed as supportive tools rather than rigid requirements.
• Flexibility in habits is crucial for consistency and success.
• Failure is a natural part of the habit formation process and should be embraced.
• Women need to adopt a mindset of 'do something' rather than 'do everything.’
