Why do I keep going back to old habits, breaking promises to myself, and struggling to change bad habits even when I know better? If you’ve ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns, procrastinating, stress eating, overspending, scrolling, people-pleasing, or abandoning healthy habits you genuinely wanted to create, this episode of Holistic Mama Speaks offers a different way to look at the problem. What if the habit you’re trying to eliminate is actually doing something FOR you? An old habit may provide comfort, escape, relief, approval, control, distraction, or another short-term benefit, even when you don’t like the long-term result. In this short episode, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores why willpower and motivation alone may not be enough to break an old habit, how to become curious about the need underneath your behavior, and one simple question that can help you understand why you keep returning to patterns you swore you’d change. Instead of only asking, “How do I stop this habit?” you’ll learn to ask: What does this habit give me in the moment? And then: What’s another way I could give myself that?
