From Couch to Active Podcast with Lyn Lindbergh

Episode Summary: Neuroplasticity and Creating Lasting Habits with James Garrett

“When it comes to creating new habits, neuroscience has a lot to teach us that will help us succeed. In this episode, James Garrett helps us understand how we can literally "re-wire" our brains to make new habits work for us.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the interview: “You are deeply powerful.” “You have way more potential than you've ever expected.” “Tiny Habits are the key.” “It takes about 66 days to create a new habit.” “We have these ‘today’ versions of ourselves, and our ‘ideal’ version of ourselves.” “The ideal version of ourselves is the dormant potential that is sitting inside of ourselves.” “Self Compassion is an effective behavior change strategy.”

I left this interview with James Garrett inspired and ready to immediately try some of his suggestions.”
