    056. How to Change Your Habits by Becoming Who You Want to Be | The Johnny Lawrence Podcast

    Why do so many people struggle to change behaviours they know aren’t good for them? Often, we focus on stopping the behaviour, but we don’t replace what it gave us. That leaves a void, and when that void isn’t filled, it can pull us straight back into old patterns. In this episode, I introduce The M.A.D.E. Model, a self-leadership framework I created through my own journey of overcoming a problematic relationship with alcohol. Instead of focusing on what you’re trying to stop, the M.A.D.E. Model helps you focus on who you want to become through four pillars: Morals, Ambitions, Drivers, and Environments. This episode will help you lead yourself away from behaviours that hold you back and towards the person you want to become. Takeaways 👉 Stopping a behaviour isn’t enough; removing a habit without replacing it creates a void. 👉 Focus on who you want to become; identity drives lasting behaviour change. 👉 Morals create alignment; your values guide better decisions. 👉 Ambitions and drivers create direction; knowing what you want and why keeps you moving forward. 👉 Environment shapes behaviour; design your surroundings to support the person you’re becoming.

I discuss the impact of social media on self-worth and the common feelings of inadequacy that arise from comparison.

Takeaways 👉 Self-leadership is about making choices and feeling in charge. 👉 Emotional triggers can reveal deeper insecurities. 👉 Avoidance of uncomfortable feelings does not lead to peace. 👉 Your worth is intrinsic and not determined by others. 👉 Healing requires meeting the parts of ourselves that feel threatened. 👉 Naming emotions helps in regulating our responses. 👉 Asking what we need can solve many emotional issues. 👉 Reclaiming authority over our self-worth is essential. 👉 Emotional freedom means reactions pass through us, not take over. 👉 We are not broken; we are on a journey to freedom.
