“An interesting workshop with a theoretical component, but also practical exercises and real-life case studies. Thank you to Thierry Daher for his passion for sharing and passing on knowledge.”
Habit Change Workshop — anchor your new practices for the long term
YOU...
We all know what we "should" be doing. Sleep better, move more, meditate, disconnect, and for some, quit smoking, lose weight... But there's a huge gap between knowing and doing. It's not a problem of motivation—it's a problem of neurological wiring.
The brain is governed by automatic habits, which are neurological shortcuts to conserve energy. Establishing a new habit means creating a new neural circuit—and that can't be done by willpower alone. It requires a strategy, tactics, and exercises to succeed.
You have tried several times to change a habit, or to adopt a new one, without lasting success.
You have completed a training course and really want to integrate the practices into your daily life.
You want to understand why good intentions are not enough
You are looking for a concrete method, based on research, not on generic motivation.
Why choose this path?
A pragmatic approach that radically transforms your relationship with everyday life.
Understanding the mechanisms of habit formation — the trigger/routine/reward loop
Design a realistic integration plan tailored to your daily life
Identify your stress triggers and automatic reactions
Learn to harness neuroplasticity — the brain reconfigures itself at any age
Leave with a personal 30-day protocol, with monitoring milestones
Step 1 — Identify and interrupt the automatic loop
Every habit relies on a three-step neural circuit: a trigger activates a routine, which produces a reward. This circuit—located primarily in the basal ganglia (a part of the brain)—operates unconsciously, consumes little energy, and naturally resists willpower. Changing a habit isn't about suppressing this circuit, but about precisely identifying it—so you can intercept it before it activates. It's this conscious interruption that creates the window of opportunity for a new behavior to take root.
Step 2 — Anchor the new behavior through intentional repetition
Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reconfigure itself throughout life. Each time a new behavior is repeated, the corresponding synaptic connection is strengthened—according to Hebb's principle: "neurons that fire together connect together." A study by Phillippa Lally (University College London, 2010) of 96 participants shows that it takes an average of 66 days—not 21 as often cited—for a behavior to become automatic. The method matters more than the motivation: a precise trigger, a simple behavior, an immediate reward.
What the workshop contains
* The science of habit: the trigger/routine/reward loop, and how to intercept it
* Neuroplasticity: why the brain can change at any age and how to accelerate this process
* The easiest habits to adopt—and the order in which to tackle them
* Mapping exercise: your current habits, your triggers, your resistances
* Building your personal 30-day protocol—with anchors, reminders, and tracking
Formats:
3-hour workshop — in-person or online | Groups of up to 20 people — in-house or for individuals
