Mastering Habit Challenge: My 5 Simple Steps to Success

In this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, I’m diving into a topic that sparked a surprising amount of interest—my decision to go sugar-free for September!  A brief mention in my newsletter about losing 2 kilos while doing it led to an influx of questions: Why did I do it? How did I stay on track? And was it difficult? But this episode isn’t about sugar itself—it’s about the mindset and strategy behind successfully making any significant change in your life, especially through a 30-day challenge. Whether you’re looking to add a new habit or eliminate an old one, I’m sharing the 5 exact steps I use to make any 30-day challenge successful.  Tune in to hear me share: - The power of keeping it simple - why overcomplicating your goals leads to failure - How giving your change a catchy name (like "Sugar-Free September") makes it stick - The importance of telling others, and the 3 benefits that can come from going public on your plans - Why preparation is key to sticking with a new habit - or breaking an old one - How adopting the identity of someone who has already succeeded helps you stay motivated These strategies have helped me navigate not just sugar-free months, but also caffeine-free stretches, daily yoga, personal development practices, consistently marketing my business and more. If you’ve been thinking about making a change, especially with the New Year on the horizon, this episode will give you a roadmap for success!
