I think you can still make that trigger work, Eileen. You mentioned that you prepare your vehicle every day. Does that preparation include some light cleaning? If yes, then instead of preparing your vehicle to run on weekends, you can simply give it a quick clean through before you go walking. That way, the time you spend with the vehicle before you run isn’t useless anymore. It can even become a second habit after you’ve successfully made your walking routine a habit.
Good job for completing all of the workbooks in the habit challenge! Make sure you post on the progress tracker so that we know how you have been doing maintaining your habit. 🙂 Good luck from here on out! 😀
Good job picking triggers for your habits, Lucy! You can also put the calendar you use to track your habits somewhere near the room you do your exercises, at least so that you don’t forget to mark the calendar when you are done. 🙂
Hey, Brian! 🙂 It’s good to know that you do have a warmup routine. It’ll help you consistently get started on your practice habit.
If you have a songbook, you can get yourself a bookmark so you don’t damage the songbook by folding the pages.
Have you also tried hiring a teacher? Guidance from a good instructor will help you practice more effectively.
Good job with the Plan B for your habits, Amber. I was about to suggest that you set a condition for contacts that you don’t prioritize, but you seem to already have things under control! 😀
It’s good that your course has teachers that will check on your work. However, your Accountability Partner should be primarily focused on whether or not you are doing your habit consistently. You don’t have to rush it, but it will be a good idea to find an accountability partner for that specific purpose in the future. Are there people you know who take the class with you?
Do let us know if you were able to consistently remember doing your habit when going into your garage. 🙂 The idea is that you should work on it so that you won’t need to use an alarm clock to do your habit. Later on, in the habit challenge, you’ll have the chance to let people you trust in on your habit.
You’re doing great! Keep it up.
Welcome to the Habit Challenge, Dave! The course will not only help you set schedules, but it will also help you make sure that you follow them even when things get difficult. You’ll learn to create a plan that you can’t fail to follow. Good luck!
This is a good idea. I also suggest that if you have an exercise that you had to leave unfinished from a previous day, you should leave it visible on your desktop so that when you turn on your PC you will be reminded of what you need to finish.
Good job on making your habit convenient, Bradley! Given everything you’ve posted, once you see progress with your habit, I think you’ll find yourself a lot more motivated and less likely to get lazy. Keep going! 🙂
That’s a good start, Brian. That being said, later on, it’ll be a good idea to figure out what time of the day you’ll do your next set once your practice time exceeds one hour.
As you progress in the habit challenge you’ll learn to make your habits more convenient so that it will be easier for you to allocate more practice time.
Hey, Lucy! You can split your habit into as many sets as you like as long as you can fit it in your schedule. You can also do other exercise types for other sets if you can’t find yourself in the right place to do Yoga.
Keep going! 🙂 You’re doing great.
So far, so good, Eileen! As you progress with the habit challenge, you’ll learn how to set up plans in case things don’t always go your way. Keep this up and you’ll have yourself a good walking habit before you know it.
I’ll hold you to that, Amber! I look forward to seeing your posts on the progress tracker. )
Hey, Eileen! A health habit is always a great place to start because it will become a keystone habit that will help you develop other habits in the future. You’ve also made it easier for yourself by using an already existing habit as a trigger for your new habit. Your next module should help you figure out how to start small and how to slowly increase the intensity of your habit.
