So please consider leaving a review and sharing this podcast with people that you know. So let's dive into today's episode, PIES stacking. So there is something in the habits world called habit stacking, many of you have probably heard about it. But it's this premise of if you are already in the habit of doing one thing, then a great way to start getting in the habit of doing something else is to add that habit on top of it. And this can be done in two different ways. So let's take something that all of us hopefully are already in the habit of doing, brushing our teeth. So you take two minutes. Ideally, if we're going to be honest, how many of us actually spend two full minutes brushing our teeth. But ideally, you take two minutes every morning and every night to brush your teeth? Well, that's something you're already in the habit of doing. So how can you use that time and stack something else that you want or need to do on top of it in order to get in the habit of doing something else. So it could be a great time to if you want to focus more on your physical attraction, then maybe you do a wall sit during that two minutes. So you set the timer on your phone, or you get one of those toothbrushes that actually goes a full two minutes before it turns off, and you just do a wall sit. And you might have to work up to being able to do the full two minutes because those things are hard. But it's a great way to add that part in. If you are wanting to do more in the intellectual area, then maybe you pick a language that you want to learn. Maybe it's Korean, or Chinese or Spanish or Hebrew, and you say you know what, during every time that I brush my teeth in the mornings, I am going to learn one word. So I'm going to look it up, maybe get the Duolingo app, whatever you would want to use to learn those languages, and pick one word and just focus on learning that word during the two minutes. If it's emotional, then maybe you are brushing your teeth and you are at the same time doing a text message with one hand that might be a little bit too difficult. Or maybe you're just considering in your mind. You know, once I'm done with this, I am going to send a text message of encouragement to someone in my life. Or maybe you are simply taking that two minutes to really focus on what three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be if you do it at the end of the day you focus on what are the three things that happened today that I am most grateful for at the beginning of the day, you could be asking yourself, what is it I am most looking forward to, or most excited about. And what I'm going to do today, or perhaps if you want to focus more on the spiritual attraction, you take that two minutes to pray, you take that two minutes to have some positive mantras that you say about yourself, I am worthy, I am strong, I am enough. I am valued. Anything that would resonate with you, but you can use that time and you can begin to see how this works. Now that's one way to do it, where you actually stack one of your PIES habits on top of at the same time doing something else. But another way you can do this is to have the brushing of the teeth be the triggering event that right after you're done with that you're immediately going to go in to something else whatever that might be. So pick which area of the pies you want to be intentionally focusing on and and say what is it that I want to do what you know what physically do I want to do is it that after I brush my teeth, I immediately want to take a walk every day and that just becomes a non negotiable and the brushing of the teeth is what reminds me what triggers me to go into that. Or it could be any of those other options. So that's a couple of just mind tricks that you can do to remind you and to get you in the habit of doing more things. Okay, so here's some examples from my life, how I've used this. And I also asked Sonia, who has been working in our organization helping with the pies, emails to share some of her examples of how she has used stacking her pies. So here's what she said. She feels like her morning routine is a good example of pie stacking. I do too. I think morning routines are the best time for you to really focus on stalking your pies. But she does things in 20 minute increments, so she can fit it all in before she starts her workday. So she wakes up at 545. She drinks her coffee and reads or writes in her journal journal. So there she's focusing on her intellectual. Then she fix her girls, she has two teenage girls, she fix her girls breakfast, packs their lunches and connects with them before they go to school, focusing on the emotional. And then she goes for a 20 minute walk after they've gone to school, focusing on the physical and then meditates and prays for 20 minutes. Now, Sony didn't say this. But she could do that meditation and prayer as she's walking, if she chooses to leave her phone at home, or just take it with her and not listen to a podcast or listen to music and be really intentional, then she can actually do both of those things in 20 minutes, as opposed to having to take 40 minutes. And she says so by 730. I've accomplished my pies. And it doesn't stop there. Because I may do an evening workout or read some more at night. But at least I feel good that I have a set routine everyday when I wake up. And I know I'm at least going to focus on every area before 7:30am I love this. Your morning routine, I fundamentally believe sets up how the rest of your day is going to go. And so I am very strict about mine. I I really take that time to get up I do my I drink my coffee and read my Bible first. And then I do my workout. And only after I've done my workout and done my walk, which is pretty extensive. I spend about an hour just doing my workout and going for my walk every morning. It's only then that I will talk to anyone. I won't answer phone calls. I try not to answer text messages, I really use that time to focus on me. But I will also see what my body is needing sometimes I want to listen to music. Sometimes I want to be in complete silence. Sometimes I want to listen to a podcast. And so sometimes I'm focusing on the intellectual as I'm doing my workout because I'm listening to some kind of business or leadership podcast. Or sometimes I'm focusing on my spiritual as I'm working out. And I'll listen to my favorite Christian songs and playlists, Bethel and Hillsong. And all the fun things. And so that's what I love, it energizes me and sets me for the rest of my day, then I will get my kids up, I will get him ready for school, I will give them their hugs and kisses try and connect with my husband a bit before starting work. And I feel grounded and set in my day. evening routines are another great way to do this. A lot of people don't have evening routines. And this is one that I've been really more intentional about creating that when I shut down from work at four to 5pm. Then how do I completely disconnect from all things work. And that is when I like to focus more so on the emotional part of my relationships with my family. So I really want to be as present and as focused on them as I can be after 5pm I'm not saying I'm not there in focus for them before 5pm. But I try and focus on work so that I completely disconnect when the time I get off work. And then I can give all of my attention to them. Now throughout the day, I try and take time to focus on myself emotionally. So taking that habit of maybe lunchtime and and saying you know what, at lunch for the first 10 minutes, I'm going to have 10 minutes of silence to just really touch base with myself and how I'm feeling and allow myself to check in with with my emotions and where I am emotionally. That's an other way that you can do this. So you have opportunity for PI stacking in your morning routine, you have opportunity for it in your evening routine, and any other routines that you can create throughout your day. So just ask yourself what is something I already do? Maybe it's that you already like to bike ride or like to go hiking? Well do you want to take that as an opportunity to add in listening to a podcast or an audio book, or having nothing that you listen to and simply using that time for meditation or prayer or instead saying you know every lunch break that I get, I'm going to do a 30 minute walk and I'm going to call a friend or a family member and use that time to connect and do things that will evoke positive emotions and other people.
