In today’s episode, I’m digging into how to create habits that stick. Whether you're trying to lose weight, get fit, or improve your daily routines, creating new habits is key to long-term success.
But how do you make those habits last? I’ll share the strategies that worked for me—including how I use willpower and avoid decision fatigue—to stay on track. If you’ve ever struggled to keep those new habits, this episode will give you practical tips to keep moving forward without burning out.
Check it out:
The HALT Method: How to check in with yourself before making decisions. Learn how being Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired can derail your willpower and what to do about it.
Setting Yourself Up for Success: Discover the SMART method (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timetable) for creating new habits that stick.
We’ll also talk about how to make the process as simple as possible to get started.
Habit Implementation Tips: How to break down your day and use habit stacking and temptation bundling to incorporate new habits into your routine.
Plus, the importance of accountability and how having a support system can help you stay consistent.
What to Do Before You Think You’ve Failed: Habits take time to form. I get into willpower, decision fatigue, and why small adjustments can make all the difference.
If you’re feeling stuck, this episode will help you get your habit mojo back and keep going!
Key Takeaways:
Check Your State with HALT: Don’t make major decisions when you're emotionally or physically drained.
Start Small with SMART Goals: It's okay to start small! Focus on making your habits specific and realistic, then build from there.
