“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” - Jim Ryun
Ready for another week?! This is going to be a good one because you’re going to get Help With Healthy Habits! 😁
Usually, the biggest obstacle to getting back on track with your health and fitness is just creating and establishing the habits that are needed to keep you on track. It’s all about routine and momentum, and it can take a lot to get that going. But once you’re on track, the maintenance is much easier. 👍
So I want to start with my favorite habit hack, which is called habit stacking. 📚 This is exactly what is sounds like, stacking a new habit on top of an already established one. The simplest and best way to start something new is to connect it to something you already know you will do each day.
For example, let’s say you make coffee each morning when you wake up without even thinking about it, and one of your goals is to drink more water. Then you could leave a tall glass next to your coffee machine so that when you start your coffee, you fill up the glass and drink it while your coffee brews. ☕️
The point is that by stacking these habits, you will be creating a new routine that you eventually just do without thinking about. And then you stack on even more habits - one at a time of course. Pretty cool huh?
What’s one habit you are going to try and stack this week?
