Today marks 688 days in a row of me having a cold shower followed by deep breathing exercises. Nearly two years. It doesn't feel that long, because it's so natural to me now. Doing this every day has allowed em to have so much more energy, focus and discipline. So how do I stay so consistent with it? Just willpower and motivation? Far from it. You see I make my routine easy to do, and fit it around my pre-existing schedule. One way to do this is to find your ANCHOR POINT. An anchor point is something in your pre-existing routine that you do everyday almost subconsciously- such as brushing your teeth or getting your shoes on. After you've found a strong anchor point, you can slip in your new habits around them. For example, I tell myself: "After my feet touch the floor when I wake up, I will go immediately to the bathroom and turn the shower to cold" This has become autonomous as the prompt is so strong. It's become wired in my brain. And by making it "just turn the shower to cold" instead of "take a cold shower, it seems a lot less daunting and takes a lot less mental effort. Try to find one anchor point in your day that you can attach to a new, great habit. ————————— What habit would you like to build?

I’ve read lots of self improvement books over the years and continue to do so. I’m going to share the most valuable lessons from each book I’ve read, so that you can apply them to your own life- without having to buy the book! ———————— PART 2: Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg. This book highlights the power of starting small and shows you that REAL change happens by making tiny, consistent actions. It also shows you what makes up a behaviour and gives you the tools to build or break habits with ease! ———————— The BEST takeaways from Tiny Habits👇 🔤 Using the ABC method to start any new habit: ANCHOR- Find an event in your existing routine that you can tether a new habit to. For example- brushing your teeth, making dinner or even the sound of a phone ringing. This will be the prompt for your new habit. BEHAVIOUR- Create a tiny version of your new habit when you’re starting out- like flossing just one tooth or doing just one press-up. Do this STRAIGHT after the anchor occurs. CELEBRATE- Do something to create positive emotions IMMEDIATELY (not later) after doing this new habit- like saying “I did a good job!” or smiling at yourself in the mirror. 🧠 B=MAP Model: BEHAVIOUR happens when 3 things converge: MOTIVATION, ABILITY and a PROMPT. If motivation is HIGH, then you will do a behaviour even if it is hard. If motivation is LOW, then you need to make it easy to do, or you won’t do it. Troubleshooting behaviours using this model: 1. Check to see if there is a prompt. 2. Check to see if you have the ability to do the behaviour. 3. Check to see if you are motivated to do the behaviour. You can also FLIP this to break bad habits, by removing the prompt, making the habit harder to do (reducing ability) and lastly reducing your motivation to do the habit or removing it altogether. ✅ 3 approaches to making a habit easier: Increase your skills: - Research - Watching a video - Asking for advice - Repetition Tools and resources: - Better set of kitchen knives. - Comfortable walking shoes.
