- Use Habit Stacking: As suggested by James Clear, habit stacking involves tying a new habit to an existing one, making it easier to remember and follow.
- Harness the Power of Small Habits: As Stephen Guise says in “Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results,” consistency is key. Even the smallest habits, when performed regularly, can lead to big results.
- Embrace the Plateau: Leo Babauta, creator of Zen Habits, advises embracing the plateau — the phase where it feels like you’re not making progress. It’s a normal part of the process, and every step counts.
- Recognize Your Power: Stoic philosopher Epictetus said, “We are responsible for some things, while there are others for which we cannot be held responsible.” This insight can remind us that we have the power to form new habits and control our responses.
