Ways to Build Better Habits
1️⃣ Start Small
Big changes overwhelm. Focus on tiny, manageable actions you can stick with daily. Example: 5 push-ups, 5 minutes of reading, 1 glass of water in the morning.
2️⃣ Be Consistent
Repetition creates habits. Same time, same place, same trigger if possible. Consistency matters more than intensity in the beginning.
3️⃣ Attach New Habits to Existing Ones
Use habit stacking. Example: After brushing your teeth, meditate for 2 minutes. Linking new habits to routines you already have makes them easier to remember and stick with.
4️⃣ Make It Visible
Keep cues around you. Put your book on your pillow, workout clothes by your bed, or a water bottle on your desk. If you see it, you’ll do it.
5️⃣ Track Your Progress
Use a habit tracker, checklist, or journal. Seeing streaks and progress keeps you motivated and accountable.
6️⃣ Reward Yourself
Celebrate small wins. Positive reinforcement makes you want to repeat the habit. Doesn’t have to be big — even a mental “Good job” works.
7️⃣ Remove Friction
Make good habits easier and bad habits harder. Example: Prep your gym clothes in advance, or delete distracting apps from your phone.
8️⃣ Stay Patient
Habits don’t stick overnight. Give yourself grace for setbacks and keep showing up. It’s about progress, not perfection.
