How can this event help me?

Creating sustainable habits can meaningfully improve your health, particularly when you’re living with a chronic condition. Research shows that small, consistent shifts in behaviour can support better sleep, healthier eating patterns, and more regular movement. When these habits are formed gradually and intentionally, they are far more likely to last.

In this live online event, Psychologist Adrian Comensoli will break down the key drivers of behaviour change and offer practical, evidence-based strategies for building routines that fit your life. The session is designed for anyone wanting clearer guidance on how to feel more in control of their habits while balancing work, family and fluctuating symptoms.

Join Adrian for a practical discussion covering:

How habits are formed and why they stick
Using insights from the 6 Stages of Behaviour Change and Self Determination Theory, Adrian will explain the roles of motivation, identity, emotional triggers and your environment. You will learn why habits often move forward and backward, and how value driven habits generally become easier to maintain.
Small steps, big impact
Drawing on research into micro habits and the power of incremental change, discover why starting small is one of the strongest predictors of long term success. Adrian will show how early wins build self efficacy and help you maintain momentum with sleep, food and exercise routines.
What gets in the way and how to reset
Using principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and self compassion research, Adrian will help you understand why habits can slip during stress, fatigue, poor sleep or flare ups. Learn practical strategies for easing back into routines without criticism or guilt.
Making habits work when you have a chronic condition
Explore flexible, evidence informed approaches for adjusting habits to match symptom patterns and day to day energy levels. You will learn simple techniques such as energy budgeting, pacing and creating “minimum versions” of habits to stay consistent even on harder days.
Tools to help habits become automatic
Adrian will introduce proven behaviour strategies including implementation intentions, habit cueing, environmental design and simple tracking methods. These practical tools can help make your routines more structured, more predictable and easier to maintain.

Join us on Wednesday, March 4th at 8:00 PM AEDT for this informative live virtual event. As always, we welcome your questions and discussions to make this an engaging and supportive experience for everyone.
