Building successful habits

<p>Ep #145 - There are multiple areas of your life you will want to create positive/desirable habits around so you can program your mind for success. Good habits, bad habits, all habits are playing their part to create your life for you - so now is the time to choose to direct your habits to create for you rather than against you.</p> <p>Habits to create: Morning - Studying - Fitness - Boundaries - Phone</p> <ul><li>What are things you can do to make it less inconvenient to get into the good habit</li> <li>what are things you can do to make it more inconvenient to get into the bad habit</li> </ul> <p>A habit consists of routinized behavior from the subconscious mind so the brain can expend energy doing other tasks.</p> <ul><li>Habitws are taking things that were once using conscious thought and turning them into an unconscious process, i.e. a habit</li> </ul> <ol><li>Cue - want (craves reward)</li> <li>Routine - behavior I go through to get the reward</li> <li>Reward - getting the outcome that we desired from the cue</li> </ol><p>The brain dopamine spike comes in anticipation of the reward.</p> <ul><li>when I want to break a bad habit I have to fight against the cue</li> <li>when I want to build a good habit I have to crave the cue and work for it</li> </ul> <p>You can't really destroy the habit but you can change it. Habits are like water in a leaky boat, you can scoop out the water but more water is right there to take its place. Similarly, taking a habit out of your life creates a vacuum where your mind now wants to create a new habit. If you don't take actionable, conscious thought into the breaking and creating process your mind will be more than happy to do it for you and you can not be guaranteed the mind will choose the best habit for you. </p> <p>Just hit play and let's dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now.</p> <p>It is time. It has been time. To live is to shine. Step into the SUN.</p> <p>Stand up
