Healthy Habits Suck
How to Get Off the Couch and Live a Healthy Life... Even If You Don’t Want To
Author: Dayna Lee-Baggley, PhD
Overview
Let’s be honest: healthy habits usually feel awful. Broccoli will never taste like ice cream, and most of us don’t exactly leap out of bed excited for a workout. But what if you could stick to healthier choices without forcing yourself to love them?
In this refreshingly funny, science-based guide, clinical psychologist Dayna Lee-Baggley, PhD uses tools from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and neuroscience to help you do the things you know you should—even if you don’t want to. You’ll learn how to:
- Build motivation around your core values, not guilt or fad goals
- Accept self-criticism and replace it with self-compassion
- Outsmart your “caveman brain” that craves sugar, naps, and shortcuts
- Make sustainable changes that lead to a healthier, more meaningful life
You don’t have to enjoy kale or love running—you just need strategies that actually work in real life.
