1 小时 0 分钟So we've all got habits and routines, rituals and behaviors that we do in the name of living our best lives.
Well, sometimes we have things that are not so much in that, but that's what we're working towards.
But which of those habits actually moves the needle the most?
Put another way, what's the good life habit?
80 20.
The 20% that'll fuel 80% of the difference making.
I have been asked this question so many times, in so many ways, by so many people over the years.
And in fact, I have asked it of myself many times.
And after a decade of learning from more than 700 leading voices in science, health, behavior change, and beyond, running literally hundreds of my own experiments and learning from others, I have found that, at least for me, there's a fairly straightforward and simple set of habits that make a huge difference in my life.
So I thought that instead of our usual conversation today I'm going to share with you what I call my big five good life habits.
Now, some may feel right and accessible for you, and others might feel challenging.
My intention is not that you have to say yes to all five, but that each one, even if nothing else is explored, can make a genuinely meaningful, even transformational difference in your life.
That is where we're headed in today's special episode, the big five habits that have made a really big difference in my life, and hopefully will make a difference in yours as well.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
What are we actually talking about when we use the word habit?
And how is it different from things like behaviors or activities or rituals?
Well, habit kind of takes up a unique place in our psychic landscape.
Of the things that we do, there are things that we do intentionally, things that we say, I'm going to do this, and then we go and do it.
And of course, there are things where we say, I'm going to do it, and we never do it, we procrastinate.
But that's probably for a whole different episode.
