Building positive habits can be tough, but I've found some easy ways to make it work. Here’s what helps me:

1. Connect to Routines You Already Have:

One of the easiest ways to start a new habit is by linking it to something you already do.

For example, if I want to drink more water, I do it right after my morning coffee.

When I finish my coffee, I drink a glass of water.

This simple action helps me remember to stay hydrated.

2. Use Visual Reminders:

Sometimes, I forget to do my new habits.

So, I use things I can see as reminders.

For instance, I put a sticky note on my bathroom mirror that says, “Drink water!”

I also lay out my workout clothes next to my bed so I remember to exercise as soon as I wake up.

These little prompts grab my attention and help me stick to my plans.

3. Design Your Environment:

I think of my home as a tool for reminding me of my habits.

When I wanted to eat healthier snacks, I made sure to keep fruits and veggies at eye level in my fridge.

Now, when I open the fridge, the healthy snacks are right there in front of me, making it easy to pick them.

4. Make a Reward System:

I've learned that if I link my new habit to a small reward, it really helps.

After my workout, I treat myself to a favorite podcast episode.

This makes me excited to work out because I know something fun is coming after.

By being careful about how I set up these reminders, I’ve made it much easier to keep my new healthy habits.

The key is to make it simple and enjoyable!
