How To Create A Habit-The Only Cheat Sheet You Need

It’s hard to believe, but… 👇

Over 40% of our daily actions are habits.

In “The Power of Habit,” Charles Duhigg defines them as: “The choices we make consciously at some point, then stop thinking about, but continue doing, often daily.”

Good news: we can manage these habits.

♻️Steal this cheat sheet to learn how to create new positive habits or break existing ones.

There are 3 key steps in forming any habit:

1️⃣ Identify the Cue:

Every habit starts with a cue or trigger that prompts your brain to go into automatic mode. It could be anything from a notification on your phone to a specific time of day. Make these cues obvious and visible to help kickstart your new habit.

↳ For Example:
You want to start exercising regularly. Your cue could be setting your workout clothes out the night before or scheduling your exercise time in your calendar.

2️⃣ Determine the Reward:

Your brain needs a reward to reinforce the habit loop. Think about what motivates you and what you find rewarding. Is it the sense of accomplishment? Or perhaps a small treat? Whatever it is, make sure it’s something that keeps you coming back for more.

↳ For Example:
After your workout, reward yourself with a refreshing post-exercise smoothie, a relaxing shower, or simply the feeling of pride that you did it.

3️⃣ Build the Routine:

Once you’ve identified the cue and reward, it’s time to establish the routine. Keep it simple and enjoyable to make it easier for your brain to latch onto the habit.

↳ For Example:
This could be a morning jog, attending a fitness class, or following along with a workout video in a fitness app at home. Start with small steps and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts.

Just 3 simple steps to profoundly change your life, mindset, and achievements.
