429: Get Motivated & Build Better Habits: Gretchen Rubin's 4 Tendencies {REPLAY}

Self-Awareness is the Key to Habit Transformation

Gretchen Rubin emphasizes the importance of self-awareness in understanding our behaviors and motivations, particularly when it comes to habit formation and goal achievement. She explains the Four Tendencies as:

  1. Upholders - meet both outer and inner expectations
  2. Questioners - question all expectations and will only meet them if they make sense
  3. Obligers - readily meet outer expectations but struggle with inner expectations
  4. Rebels - who resist all expectations, whether they are external or internal

This episode is jam-packed with tips and insight!
