Join us for the January edition of the IPWS Thought Activator:

Building Healthy Habits

Like every new year, we are full of good resolutions, goodwill and great aspirations, until January 2nd when we immediately get back to our bad habits, usually being quickly followed by guilt and self flagellation. The vicious circle has started again. But there is a way out.

Habits are simple but powerful mechanisms rooted in our limbic brain, and the brain, much like other muscles, can be trained. Whilst it it difficult to get rid of bad habits, it is possible to turn bad habits into good ones, by maintaining the process (cue, habit, reward) and modifying the habit. In a nutshell, instead of trying to stop snacking in the middle of the day, exchange your chocolate bar with a fruit. You didn't get rid of the bad habit, you turned it into a good one.

We were greatly inspired by The Power of Habit. In this book, the award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed.

Walk through the process of building healthy habits for your mind and body with our  activator of the month: Elizabeth Schieffelin, founder and CEO at Lizzy's all natural healthy smoothies, founder at Zenergy holistic wellness studio and Women Leadership Awards 2018 winner!

IPWS Thought Activator is a monthly series that connects people through meaningful conversations. The aim is to help you expand your network and more effectively make valuable connections by taking part in an informal, guided activity. Each event is centered around a specific theme, which attendees will reflect over in smaller groups, making it easy to get to know one another while gaining insight and perspective.

The themes for Thought Activator events range from topics that are too often not given the recognition or attention they deserve, to issues that are old and familiar, but in need of a fresh perspective. During the event, our Activator of the Month will introduce and share their expertise on the topic of the evening. Following the short presentation, attendees are encouraged to reflect on related questions, while networking throughout the evening.
