How to Stick to Habits

Today’s show is all about sticking to habits. It’s a struggle many of us face, often feeling like we’re at war with our willpower.

Here’s some good news: it’s not about willpower, and you’re not alone. In this episode, I’ll break down why building habits feels so challenging and provide you with simple, actionable steps you can implement immediately.

3 Takeaways to Create Habits

1. Stick to Habits with Petite Practices

Start with small, manageable steps, known as petite practices or microhabits, that can easily fit into your daily routine.

In this episode, I give a few examples. For instance, start with just 10 squats or a 5-minute walk instead of planning to exercise for an hour.

This approach helps overcome resistance and makes it easier to stick to the habit, even on busy days.

2. Stick to Habits with Stacking

Anchor new habits to existing routines to make them stick. This technique, called habit stacking, involves pairing a new habit with a habit you already do regularly.

As I explain in this video, after you pour your morning coffee, write down one thing you’re grateful for. By linking the new habit to an established one, it becomes easier to remember and integrate into your daily life.

3. Set Up for Success

I share a few tips in the episode on how to make it easy to follow your intentions. One big tip is to set up your environment for success.

For example, lay out your workout clothes the night before if you plan to exercise in the morning.

This proactive setup can significantly influence your consistency.
