3 Solid Tips To Stick To New Habits

The new year is typically a time when we all want to turn into a new leaf! Whether it is health or daily habits, we want to be a brand new person.

However, from experience we know that while our intentions are pure, the actions don’t really match up. And usually, we fall off the wagon in a matter of days.

But is there a way to ensure that our intentions and actions stick together for once?!

While there is a whole list of tips on the internet, my aim is to further simplify this.

But first, let’s quickly look at the 4-step pattern that gets us into habits that we already have.

Cue | Craving | Response | Reward

Every habit follows the same feedback loop. In the simplest and most common form:

We get a notification (cue)

We really want to know that the message is (craving)

We check our phone (response)

That satisfies our craving (reward)

Identify the cue that triggers you and replace it to change the feedback loop!

Here are 4 questions from James Clear’s best selling book, Atomic Habits, that’ll help you add some logic to your intentions:

Whenever you want to change your behaviour, you can simply ask yourself:

How can I make it obvious?

How can I make it attractive?

How can I make it easy?

How can I make it satisfying?

In this week's edition of my newsletter, I am going to share 3 solid and time tested ways to stick to new habits in 2024.

1. Start with one, tiny habit at a time

Last year, I gave in and started with 7 habits that I wanted to track. Well! As you must have guessed, I crashed and burned!

This year, my list is a modest 3 habits - top 3 things that are on priority for me.

Here's how you achieve this:

Make a list of everything you want to do/dream of doing! Just get it out of your system!

Then start by eliminating items that are just good-to-track.

Look through the rest to find which ones are non-negotiable. Maximum 3 things. Over-reaching is the perfect way to fail at this.

And then pick just ONE! Let that be the habit for January!

Focus on getting that one thing done, consistently!
