The creation and holding of personal disciplines and habits is something that fascinates me.
I’m always learning little tips and tricks on how to align and hold.
I’ve learnt that some habits are for a short time, some a season, some for life.
And often the ‘stick ability’ depends on both alignment and perceived outcome. Have I built the picture big enough in my mind of who I’ll be when I’ve been consistently doing this thing, and do I even want to be Her.
Sometimes, it’s the simple things. Like old mate James Clears habit stacking. To start taking a new Lions Main supplement, I now simply take it when I take my other vitamins. Easy. Add it to an existing routine. Done.
My latest win came from a suggestion at a Te One Haumako retreat I worked at recently.
What’s something I need to Stop doing, in order to do what I want.
For years I’ve wanted to start my day with water or a smoothie. Something nourishing before piling in the Black Coffee. But just couldn’t get it to stick.
I realised I wanted to Stop being so hard on my stomach first thing in the morning. To look after it. And then have my yummy coffee.
So then I habit stacked. While waiting for my coffee to brew, I get my water in.
First, connect with an emotional / physical why, and then habit stack.
It’s now been over 2 months and I’ve only missed 3 days of water before coffee. (Journalling / accountability step has helped me notice this win)
So stoked with this.
Another happy little adjustment in the kaizen style approach I take to my life 🥰
