Habit is a routine that we follow diligently. Habits could be bad or good depending on your will. Habits can be changed, transformed, and extended.<\/p>\n

In the book ” Atomic Habit” by James Clear”.<\/div>\n
There are four simple steps to forming a new habit or breaking an old one.<\/div>\n
1<\/div>\n
Make it obvious<\/b><\/div>\n
—-The routine which you want to follow should be clear to you and it could be divided into 4 segments, Cue— Craving —- response — reward.<\/div>\n
—Once the habit becomes automatic then you do have not to pay attention. A habit scoreboard is a good practice to become more aware of your behavior so that you can track your progress.<\/div>\n
—- Pointing and calling out helps out to raise your awareness from\u00a0a nonconscious habit to a conscious habit.<\/div>\n
—- Time and Location are the two most important cues.<\/div>\n
—– Motivate yourself and the\u00a0environment\u00a0plays a crucial role in forming new habits.<\/div>\n
—- Make the cues of good habits obvious in the environment.<\/div>\n
—- If possible make the entire context become the cue.<\/div>\n
—-People with high self control tend to spend less time in tempting situations. It is easier to avoid temptations than resist it.<\/div>\n
—- Self-control is a short-term strategy, not for the long term.<\/div>\n
2.<\/div>\n
Make it Attractive<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The most attractive opportunity is, the more likely to become habit-forming.<\/div>\n
—- Temptation bundling is one way to make your habits more attractive. The strategy is to pair an action you want to do with an action you need to do.<\/div>\n
—– The role of Family and friends is too important.<\/div>\n
—- The culture we live in determines the behavior which is attractive to us.<\/div>\n
—-\u00a0 We tend to adopt habits that get appreciated by our group or culture because we want to fit in that group.<\/div>\n
— we tend to imitate the habits of our close friends and relatives or powerful people with status and prestige.<\/div>\n
—– Join a culture or group of people with your desired behavior.<\/div>\n
——- If a behavior gets approval, respect, or praise we find it attractive.<\/div>\n
Make bad habits unattractive<\/b><\/div>\n
—<\/b>– Every behavior has an underlying motive. Your habits are modern-day solutions to ancient desires.<\/div>\n
—- Highlights the benefits of avoiding a bad habit to making it unattractive.<\/div>\n
—- Habits are attractive when we associate them with positive feelings. Create a motivational ritual by doing something you enjoy.<\/div>\n
3.<\/div>\n
Make it easy\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
—- Practice your new habit and make it simple.\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
——Focus on action not being in motion.<\/div>\n
—— make automatic through repetition, the number of time matters more than the amount of time.<\/div>\n
—- Human behavior is to put the least effort.<\/div>\n
—- Create an environment where doing the right thing is as easy as possible.<\/div>\n
—-Reduce the friction associated with good behavior.<\/div>\n
—– Increase\u00a0the friction associated with bad behavior<\/div>\n
——Set your environment to make future actions easier.<\/div>\n
—– The 2-minute rule says that do for a limited time.<\/div>\n
—— using technology to automate habits.<\/div>\n
4<\/div>\n
Make it satisfying\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
—- Satisfaction leads to repeated behavior.<\/div>\n
—– Immediate\u00a0rewards are preferred instead of future rewards.<\/div>\n
—– success or progress motivates u to repeat the habit.<\/div>\n
—– immediately\u00a0punished and rewarded behavior can affect repetitive\u00a0habits.<\/div>\n
—— Habit tracking is good to see the progress.<\/div>\n
—– Never miss twice. Try to keep on track as early as possible.<\/div>\n
—— Less likely habit would not be repeated it\u00a0is painful.<\/div>\n
——- Habit contract can be used to add a special cost to any promise.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These are the points on which I focus and get a new habit formed.<\/div>\n
