How you think you should build habits:
• Focus solely on adding new good habits
• Overwhelm yourself with too many changes
• Neglect existing habits that may be holding you back
How you actually build effective habits:
• Identify and remove bad habits first
• Gradually introduce new good habits
• Prioritize eliminating what’s stopping you from growing
It’s not just about adding new habits; it’s about removing the ones that are holding you back. Focus on eliminating the negative patterns, and you’ll make room for positive changes to stick.
Don’t force yourself to juggle too many habits at once. Start by cleaning up the old, and watch how much easier it becomes to build the new.
