Recently, I was talking with a friend and reflecting on how I managed to change some of my long-standing patterns of behavior and the methods for how that change process unfolds. This week’s episode 198 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to change your behavior after 50 years in the other direction!

In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing some of the big ways I have changed my life over the years and how learning to pause became the framework for every other tool I got from recovery. The framework I share for changing your behavior includes:
- You have to believe theoretically that change is possible for humans and if you don’t think it just yet, seek out people who have already done what you’re looking to do and use them as inspiration.
- Start to entertain the idea that changing this behavior is something you can do.
- Think through situations you’ve been in where if you would have done the new behavior, things would have turned out differently.
- Continue to be committed to the behavior change.
Understanding that you can stop and change directions is one of the secrets to living a life of contentment. You can learn how to stop doing the things that are not serving you, that are draining you, that are making you feel ashamed, unhappy, or unfulfilled. Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
