Aneela Idnani: Overcoming Negative Habits with Awareness

About this episode

Aneela Idnani discusses her journey with Trichotillomania and how the Habitaware Keen device helps overcome negative habits through awareness.

Aneela Idnani is the inventor of Habitaware, a winner of the Time Magazine Best Inventions Award. The Habitaware Keen is a wrist-worn device that helps those who struggle with BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors). In this episode, we learn about Aneela's personal trials with the BFRB called Trichotillomania, a disorder which is often covered up by the sufferer due to shame and low self-esteem. The Keen device helped her and tens of thousands of others leave behind such compulsive behaviors for good. The discussion also delved into how nurturing awareness and living in the present can enrich our lives and empower us. Inquiries: info@livethepath.com
