Practical Tips

Write down one habit you want to embody. Create a simple, cue-routine-reward loop for it today.

1 Every night, list three small, positive habits you practiced that day

2 Remove cues for bad habits (e.g., hide social media apps, keep junk food out of sight)

3 Make your desired habit so easy you can't say no (e.g., one push-up, one sentence of writing)

4 Create a 'habit contract' with a friend outlining consequences for breaking a good habit streak

5 Schedule your most important habit at the same time and place daily to automate it
