Bother List & Habits

Hello Happiness Warriors!! 

This week we thought we would share a VERY effective way for you to identify what's out of balance and how to create new habits.  ​

1. Make a list of 5-10 things that are bothering you right now.  Anything from "I don't work out enough" to "I spend too much time on my phone."  
2. Make a list of new habits you can create to remedy your "bother list."  
3. Choose ONE habit to implement this week, schedule the habit in your calendar and ask someone to keep you accountable!! 

A few notes on habits by Charles Duhigg, Author, The Power of Habit:

• “This process within our brains is a three-step loop. First, there is a cue, a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode and which habit to use. Then there is the routine, which can be physical or mental or emotional. Finally, there is a reward, which helps your brain figure out if this particular loop is worth remembering for the future: THE HABIT LOOP”
• “Change might not be fast and it isn't always easy. But with time and effort, almost any habit can be reshaped.”
• “To change a habit, you must keep the old cue, and deliver the old reward, but insert a new routine.”
