This week on RiseR Wellbeing with Andover Radio, we’re moving from road rage to something a little closer to home: the sneaky habits that quietly shape our days (and sometimes sabotage our best intentions).

To bring this to life, I share a light-hearted, fictional story about a friend we’ll call Deborah. Every morning, Deborah promised herself she’d get up on time… and every morning, the snooze button whispered sweet nothings in her ear. Three taps later, she was deep in negotiations with herself: “Just five more minutes…”
We’ve all been there... not because we’re lazy, but because habits are powerful little creatures.

They run on autopilot, influencing not just our actions but our confidence, too.

In this episode, we explore how small choices reinforce bigger patterns, and how one tiny shift can rewrite the whole behaviour loop.

You’ll also learn this week’s wellbeing tool:

The One-Minute Momentum Move
A simple, doable habit reset that works because it’s too small for your brain to argue with.

Whether it’s getting out of bed, avoiding stress-snacking, exercising, or putting your phone down... one minute is enough to create momentum.

Real change doesn’t demand perfection… just a tiny commitment repeated with kindness.

Simple actions. Tiny shifts. Big changes over time.
