Wake Up to Your Habits

We all have habits; how we move, the way we think, how we associate feelings. These habits – negative and positive – determine our experience from moment to moment. In our busy lives, we can be mindless of our thinking, feeling, and behaving patterns, and the stories we tell ourselves that can keep us stuck in familiar yet detrimental ruts. This book is a rich resource of strategies and tools to energize and inspire you to move out of your habit ruts and into new, healthier habit grooves.
