In this six-minute solo episode Shaun breaks down a compact, evidence-informed habit you can use the moment a craving hits. The Two-Question Pause is a repeatable mental checkpoint: 1) Am I physically hungry right now? 2) Will eating this support my goals or is this an emotion, boredom, or cue-driven urge? Paired with a 60–90 second micro-action (drink, breathe, move, or delay), this routine turns impulsive decisions into intentional ones without shame or rigidity. Shaun walks through why this works from a behavioral psychology angle, two simple scripts to use in real life, and a 3-day micro-challenge to test it. The episode focuses on practical examples—office snacks, late-night urges, and schedule disruptions—so listeners leave with a usable tool that fits busy lives and supports intermittent fasting, energy control, and consistent habit-building.
