Force of Habit: Unleash Your Power by Developing Great Habits

Stop harmful habits—and develop ones that heal and empower you—with a plan rooted in both neuroscience and all-natural solutions.

Dr. Tamsin Astor blends her scientific background as a PhD in cognitive neuroscience with her Yoga, Ayurveda, Meditation, and Coaching training to offer a unique approach to mastering your daily habits. Using tools from Health and Executive coaching, Tamsin provides a plan to help you navigate from a multi-tasking, low energy, time-deprived existence to one of abundance, nourishment, and fun!

Feeling like there isn’t enough time or energy to get everything done? Follow the steps in this book to regain your power and reduce your stress. You’ll learn:

• The “Shoulds” & why they don’t serve you
• Motivation and different theories to understand it
• Stress and what it’s secretly doing to you & why we need a little “good” stress
• Why there isn’t one definition of “healthy” and a new model for understanding health
• A new way of thinking about everyday habits and how you need to change them
• How to think about your relationship with yourself—are you falling into learned helplessness?
• How to assess your relationships with others, and whether you’re cultivating enablers or supporters

By establishing healthy habits, you can unleash your true power—by freeing up your time from the thousands of micro-decisions you make on a day-to-day basis.

About the Author

Tamsin Astor, PhD helps busy professionals organize themselves so they have time for what they need & want, and time for fun. She is your Chief Habit Scientist, wrangling your habits around sleep, exercise & eating through a lens of mindfulness & relationship management. We make tens of thousands of decisions every day, so if we can create connections between the habits that serve us well, thus reducing the number of choices we make, we free up lots of time. This irony―creating routines to create freedom―is what Tamsin loves to help people activate in their lives! Tamsin utilizes a broad array of both Eastern and Western skills from her extensive training (PhD, Advanced Registered Yoga Teacher - RYT500, Certified Living Ayurveda, Certified Executive Coach and Certified Yoga Health Coach) and background (Neuroscience, Psychology & Education research, teaching, 10+ years meditation-practioner, parenting a child with cancer, a child with ADHD, coaching) to guide clients through change related to their careers, relationships, physical and emotional health.
