017: Forcing Habits and Dysregulating Emotions - with Stuart Thompson

Do you find you try to implement new habits and changes for the routine to ‘drop off’ after a few weeks? Do you feel that you focus more on when something goes wrong than the things that actually went right? Well, you’re not alone. 

 In this episode, we chat with Stuart. Stuart is the founder of The Still Method - a complete system, using a step-by-step approach, to understand and manage anxiety and low self-esteem. We chat about habits, change and our own beliefs. Why this means we set unrealistic expectations, fall off the bandwagon and why we live with guilt. 

  

Best Quote  

  ‘’I remember once being in a meeting in a restaurant and listening to two people having a conversation over a breakfast meeting and they said ‘well, now I've had that cooked breakfast, that's my diet out the window for the rest of the day’ - and I remember thinking, well, why? Why can't you just think that was a great breakfast, celebrate the pleasure you got from it and then go back to doing what you were doing? - it's that loaded guilt that makes us drop off the curb completely and we've got to try and find a way to get rid of that.’’
