I can guarantee you don’t do this enough

You’re not going to change your behaviours by beating yourself up when you can’t stay consistent.

You change best by feeling GOOD.

This is scientifically proven.

It’s a common myth that it takes around 60 days to form a habit- BULLSHIT!

A habit can be formed instantly, first time- or it can take your whole life, it’s all about how you FEEL and the emotion when/after doing it!

Take this as an example:

The first time you used an Uber instead of a taxi I bet that you were shocked and delighted at how quickly it arrived compared to a taxi- you just press a button and it’s outside your house in minutes!

That emotion instantly wired in a new habit.

Every time you want to get somewhere now- you don’t even THINK about a taxi, you just pull out your phone and order and Uber, it’s become automatic.

You can hack your brain to wire in other new habits this fast by using the art of CELEBRATION.

This is something you do to feel good either during or immediately after the habit.

Saying ‘I’ll have a beer later to celebrate’ or ‘I’ll now watch my favourite show’ won’t work.

It needs to be a matter of seconds after.

The celebration could be a physical action, spoken word to yourself, thinking about how proud you are, thinking about the effects of your new habit, ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU FEEL SOME REAL PRIDE AND HAPPINESS.

There’s no right or wrong answer- play around with it.

This is the #1 way to stay consistent and hack your brain to wire in habits quickly.

TRY IT!
