The Gentle Shift: Habits

With Becca Gardner

This course offers a fresh, gentle way of understanding your habits — without willpower, discipline, or trying to change yourself. Across five calming audio lessons, you’ll explore why habits appear, how the mind innocently reacts to discomfort, and the simple clarity that begins to open when you look in a softer direction. Rather than techniques or steps, this course invites you to listen lightly and notice what resonates. You’ll begin to see your habits with more ease and curiosity, and get a feel for the steadiness beneath your changing thoughts and feelings. What makes this course especially meaningful is Becca’s lived experience with her own long-standing habit, and how seeing it differently led to unexpected change and the habit falling away, What to expect: Five soft, reflective audio lessons. No techniques or willpower — just simple human understanding. A kinder way of relating to yourself and your habits. Space for clarity, curiosity, and gentle noticing.

Lesson 2

Feelings, Sensations And Why Habits Form

This lesson explores how every habit begins with a feeling or a thought that simply “rocks up.” We look at why discomfort is misread by the system, how the mind tries to protect us, and why none of this is personal. You’ll begin to see that habits are not driven by weakness, but by an innocent misunderstanding of normal human feeling.

Lesson 3

The Loop And How Habits Actually Run

This lesson looks at the simple loop that keeps habits in place. We explore how the mind reacts to discomfort, why the habit offers temporary relief, and how triggers are often misunderstood. You’ll begin to see the automatic nature of habits with more space and kindness, noticing the tiny moment before the habit runs and understanding why it was never a personal choice

Lesson 4

Who You Really Are

This lesson explores the difference between who you are and the thoughts, feelings, and habits that move through you. We look at the “sky and weather” metaphor, the temporary nature of experience, and the mind’s innocence. You’ll begin to sense the steadiness beneath your habits, and see that your identity has never been defined by anything you’ve done or felt.

Lesson 5

The Summary And Moving Forward

This final lesson brings everything together in a simple, grounded way. We look at the nature of thought, the innocence of the mind, and your built-in capacity to reset. You’ll hear how habits are learned responses rather than flaws, and why insight has its own timing. This session offers a gentle summary of the whole journey and an invitation to keep softly P.E.E.P-ing your experience.
