Building These Habits Will Change Your Life in 2026

About this episode

Nick and Hari discuss how modern life affects presence and well-being, exploring various challenges and solutions.

In this episode of Mindful Paths Podcast, Nick and Harry explore how modern life quietly pulls us away from presence, and what it really takes to protect our energy, attention, and wellbeing. The conversation moves through fear disguised as wisdom, perfectionism, habit friction, screen addiction, and the subtle ways technology erodes connection with ourselves and others. They reflect on Christmas pressure, consumerism, wellness gadgets, parenting in a screen-heavy world, and why presence matters more than performance. This is a grounded, reflective episode about simplifying, letting go of perfection, and choosing practices that actually support a calm, connected life.
