Have you ever set a clear intention, felt genuinely aligned with it, and then found yourself three mornings later doing the exact same thing you were trying to change? You are not alone. And it has nothing to do with your willpower.

In Episode 75 of The Self-Investment Project, host Kathy Washburn draws on ancient wisdom, modern habit science, and the intelligence of your own nervous system to offer a completely different entry point into lasting change.

We start in New Zealand with the aboriginal Australians' belief that the world was sung into existence through song lines, paths across the land learned through the repetition of words. We move through James Clear's identity-based habit framework from Atomic Habits, Danielle LaPort's core desired feelings from The Desire Map, and the quiet miracle of a salmon finding its ancestral river by taste alone.

WHAT YOU WILL TAKE AWAY

  • Why habits fail when the body is left out of the conversation
  • The difference between outcome-based and identity-based habit change
  • How to use your core desired feelings as a daily compass
  • The Regulate, Reflect, Root framework as a body-first practice
  • Three reflection questions to carry with you this week
