HOW TO GET BACK ON TRACK : PART II ✨

Time to build those good habits ✨

• Start Small

When building habits, it's important to start small. Trying to change too much at once can be so overwhelming and lead to giving up.

For example, instead of trying to run a marathon right away, start by running for 10 minutes a day and gradually increasing the duration and intensity.

Once you've mastered these little habits, you can then use them as building blocks for bigger habits.

• Shift Your Identity

One of the best wavs to form new habits is by changing your identity. You can do this by reframing your mindset from "I'm trying to build a habit" to "I am the kind of person who has this habit." Instead of saying "I'm trying to become a runner", you can say "I am a runner".

Practicing new habit and making it part of your identity will make it much easier to stick!

• Cue, Action & Reward

It's important to understand the Cue, Action & Reward model when you're learning about habits. For instance, your cue might be waking up hungry in the morning and your action could be making yourself a nice breakfast. The reward is a feeling energised.

Once you have identified these three elements in any habit you are trying to build, you can make it part of your routine by performing the action in response to the cue, and then rewarding yourself.
