069 - Atomic Habits (Part 5)

Thanks for listening to our last episode about James Clear’s book, Atomic Habits.  This book has really helped us learn new tools to make new habits “Atomic.”  One tool is to make the new habit super small and desirable using the 4th law, making new habits satisfying.  If its fun and satisfying we are more likely to keep going and practice this new habit again and again each day.   Mentioned Resources: * Atomic Habits [https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits] By James Clear * Bible Recap [https://www.thebiblerecap.com/] with Tara Lee Cobble  * “His mercies are new every morning from…” Lamentations 3:22-23 [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Lamentations%203%3A22-23&version=ESV] Credits: * Follow us on our Facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/alovelyplacepodcast] for more updates and community events.   * Edited and music by Stephan Ainley [https://www.facebook.com/StephanAinleyBand/].

067 - Atomic Habits (Part 3)

Today we are talking about making new habits attractive as we continue to share what we are learning from James Clear’s book Atomic Habits.  If you want to create new habits, make them attractive to you so you choose to do it by combining a need to a want such as the need to do the dishes and I want to watch a show.  We can make dishes more attractive and we choose to watch a show while doing the dishes.    Mentioned Resources: * Atomic Habits [https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits] By James Clear Credits: * Follow us on our Facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/alovelyplacepodcast] for more updates and community events.   * Edited and music by Stephan Ainley [https://www.facebook.com/StephanAinleyBand/].
