“Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don’t want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems” (p 27 “Atomic Habits” James Clear).
A lot times we go through life on autopilot. We think the same thoughts, behave in the same manner, and have the same results. When you want to change a result in your life like: make more money, lose 20 pounds and keep it off, buy a house, or find a partner, people often try to change everything at once.
Instead, what we need to do is breakdown our goal, and start improving one habit. If you want to lose weight and keep it off because you are tired of yo-yo dieting, you may want to improve your exercise routine. So you start walking one mile a day, three days a week. After a few weeks of walking, you may feel better because your mood has improved, you are getting more tired from walking at night so you tend to fall asleep faster, which means you are getting more sleep, which means you have more energy the next day, which means you get more things done. When you get more sleep, you have less cravings. When you have less cravings, you can create a healthier diet. Catch my drift?
This is known as creating a snowball effect with habits. You can look at the Health Trio: Exercise | Diet | Sleep. When you improve your exercise habits, you will start to improve your sleep habits, then you start to improve your diet habits. In this episode I go over the Health Trio, as well as the Routine Trio.
Admiral William H McRaven talks about if you want to change the world, make your bed in the morning. This creates a small win in your brain, and if you do it in the mornings, before checking your phone especially, then your brain is going to crave another small win. And another small win. Remember how I said the more you do something, the more you do something? That’s partly due to Hebb’s law, “What fires together, wires together.” Which basically means you are creating neural pathways when you are doing more of something.
So what habit are you going to improve?
