MAKING NEW HABITS STICK
Planning Habit Formation:
To form a habit, we can write a Habit Plan using "After I..., I will..." statements. See a few examples below.
Notice each anchor and behavior are specific. Think of some examples of tiny habits that can help YOU reach your goal. Write out three "After I..., I will..." statements for habits you want to establish. Use the Tiny Habits Recipe Card to guide you.
It can helpful to track how often you are doing your habit. You can use the Daily Goal Tracker provided in the goal setting module.
A few things to keep in mind when establishing a habit:
1. Be patient. Habits take time and practice to form. (2 weeks for simple behaviors, and more time for more complex ones)
2. Use your tiny habits to reach your larger goals.
Example: Getting into a habit of calf raisers each morning will help you meet your strength training goals.
3. Create habits to make physical activity easier
Example: Setting shoes by the door before bed can help nudge you to go for a 30 minute walk in the morning.
WORKOUT OF THE WEEK:
Try this 10 minute cardio workout. A good example of a really short workout that you could fit in to the day.
Habits aren't the only way to make changes stick long-term. We can also make physical activity part of our identity. The next lesson covers how physical activity can be part of your identity.
