Send us a text (Note: we are not able to respond but LOVE to hear from you!!)

038: Hi listeners. This week I am back with Part 2 of my habit series based on the book, Atomic Habits by James Clear. How do we make habits? A lot of the time, self control is not your biggest issue. 

I also want to emphasize, habits are not about accomplishing a goal they’re about who you are becoming. Your identify influences your habits;  identity is who you believe yourself to be.

Simple decide who you want to be and prove it to yourself with small wins. I will practice said behaviorat thistime in thatlocation. 

How habits work-

• Cue : something your brain can notice that tells it what to do. 
• Cravings: motivation force behind every habit. Usually you crave the change in state, not the actual act.
• Response: the actual thing, habit, you do. A thought or action. 
• Reward: the end goal of every habit. The cue is about wanting the reward. They satisfy us and teach us. 

4 laws of behavior change:

• Make it obvious 
• Make it attractive 
• Make it easy
• Make it satisfying
