Show Notes

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 behavior at this time in that location

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
