Do you sometimes feel like the person you show up as each day isn't the real you? Between work, family, and the constant pull of daily responsibilities, it's easy to drift into autopilot and lose touch with your inner self. In this episode, we explore how to come back home to yourself and cultivate a sense of internal belonging that grounds your thoughts, feelings, and actions in what truly matters.   Authenticity isn't just about being genuine with others. Through practical prompts and reflective practices, you'll learn to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, impulses, and beliefs in a way that builds self-awareness. You'll discover how to notice when you're out of alignment, face uncomfortable truths with honesty, and make internal authenticity a daily practice rather than a vague concept.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/192     Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

When we walk into a room filled with people we don't know, whether it's a professional event, the gym, or a dinner party, we tend to look around for a friendly face while watching out for body language that feels like a rejection. This is the habit of micro-analyzing other people's reactions, hyper-focusing on what these responses mean about us.   Discover why you do this, how it presents, and how to stop your micro-analysis and interpretation of other people's body language from negatively impacting your self-worth. I share why this habit leads to insecurity and shame, and help you bring awareness to this habit, so you can begin to change it.   Get the full show notes and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/86 Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

All of our habits are here for a good reason, even if we don't like the habit itself. They're all adaptive or protective solutions that we've learned, and this is great news because it means we can unlearn habits that don't serve us.   Tune in this week to start playing investigator, uncovering patterns, and finding the underlying beliefs that fuel these habitual patterns. This work helps you intentionally change your habits, and I'm showing you how to keep your habit audit simple so it can have the maximum impact.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/91 Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

If you want to approach your life with more intentionality, one of the best ways to do this is to perform a habit audit. A habit audit is the process of looking at your habits, noticing what they tell you, and deciding which ones are serving you, and which ones you want to replace with new ones.   Tune in this week for part 1 of our series on habit audits to learn what a habit audit is, why it's useful, and how to start performing a habit audit in your own life. And be sure to come back next week to discover how to analyze the findings of your habit audit in the most meaningful way, so you can begin shaping your next steps.   Get the full show notes and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/90 Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

We all suffer from painful, recurring thoughts from time to time. But I've noticed in my professional work (and even in my personal life) there are two especially common thoughts that plague our psyche and create so much day-to-day stress: 1) "I should know better" and 2) "I should be further along than I am right now."   These thoughts can impact us on a monthly, weekly, or even a daily basis. Whether they are a part of your subconscious or conscious mind, if we believe these thoughts it can be terribly difficult to convince ourselves there's truth to anything different. That's why, on today's episode, we're exploring this duo in-depth so we can address them proactively.   Get the full show notes and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/123 Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

Rest, leisure, and play are things we all want, aren't they? It's what we wait and plan for, whether that's organizing vacations, or having a couple of days off at the weekend. So why is it so hard for some of us to actually do this when the time comes?    Join me this week as I show you the fastest way to figure out your relationship with rest, leisure, and play. You'll discover why disengaging to play or have downtime feels so challenging, why running on fumes doesn't benefit you or anyone else, and how to start shifting your lens on rest so you can start viewing it as a vital part of your life.    Get the full show notes and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/22 Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

Self-judgment is quiet and often happens under the surface. You might even think it's an excellent driver for doing good, solid work in the world as a physician, parent, or mentor. But the truth is self-judgment is an unproductive use of your time and energy, so, how do we turn it around?       If being overly critical of yourself is your default state and changing self-judgment seems not only foreign but a bad idea, you're in the right place. This week, I'm showing you how self-judgment shows up for us, why it's not going to lead to lower standards, and how to use the best antidote to self-judgment in your everyday.    Get the full show notes and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/20 Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

Do you try to fix or suppress your anger, and feel guilty if you can't? Many of us have been taught to see anger as shameful, unprofessional, or even dangerous. As a result, we bottle it up, push it down, and try to ignore it. The cost of burying anger is emotional exhaustion and disconnection from ourselves.    In this episode, I share a different approach to anger – one that views it not as a liability but as a messenger. I offer three powerful prompts to help you relate to your anger differently, allowing you to rebuild inner trust and reconnect with your authentic self without fear of explosive expression.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/170   Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/
