4 Practical Steps to Trade One Habit for Another

What if that habit you know you need to curb could be changed by a more intentional system than just self-discipline or an act of the will? In episode #39 of The UN-Perfect Podcast, we’ll learn how to trade one habit for a better one. Out with the old, in with the new! Listen in.

I thoroughly enjoyed my interview with speaker/writer/ministry leader Jody Allen in this episode. She is wise (she once talked a tow truck driver into NOT towing her car out of an illegal parking spot), witty (she constantly makes me laugh – often at myself), strong (she birthed twins – need I say more?) and she LOVES Jesus. Fortunately for you as listeners, she also loves spiritually pouring into the lives of women!

In this 2-episode series, Jody teaches us a new way to eliminate an old habit/behavior/mindset. Listen to hear Jody talk about:

  • trades she has made in her own life
  • the power of an outside voice
  • seeking God for the trades we need to make
  • why change is absolutely possible for the believer
  • the enemy’s role in holding us back from change

Make sure you tune in to episode #40 for the continuation of this life-giving discussion. Jody will be giving us the last two steps in this process of trading one habitfor another, the next of which is very practical and hands-on. You don’t want to miss our conversation where Jody discusses:

  • Why we don’t have to be victims of our choices
  • The balance between our efforts and God’s empowerment
  • How the changes God makes in us are more permanent
  • The 3 Circle Diagram as a tool for trading bad habits for better ones
  • Why our motivation makes a difference in our success
