How to establish a healthy habit. 1. Do It Early Exercise in the morning when your willpower is high,and youll reap the rewards all day. Make a healthy dinner ahead of time (I love my crockpot!) so you dont come home starving, with nothing to eat. 2. Be Prepared Make sure you have everything you need to ensure your success. If you like to run buy and wear the proper sneakers and active wear. 3. Make it Convenient The more difficult and time consuming it is to take an action, the less likely you will do it. This is why so many people who buy gym memberships drop out—its just not that convenient. Get everything you need ready ahead of schedule so that when it is time to take action, you can. 4. Make it Fun If you dont enjoy doing something, you arent going to stick with it. Find ways to make your lifestyle change as enjoyable as possible. 5. Dont Break the Chain When Jerry Seinfeld was an unknown, he created the habit of writing new material daily using a wall calendar and a red marker. Every day that he managed to write, he would put a big red X on the calendar. He didnt want to see any blank days that broke the chain. Use this technique for one month and youll find your new habit will largely be formed. By using these steps to create a habit, youre tricking your brain into creating a new neural pathway. Once the habit is formed, you can use it to serve as a gateway to bigger changes that can truly change your life. A journey of a thousand miles really does begin with a single step.
