Make it Automatic

Habits are mental shortcuts learned from experiences. 

The 4 steps in creating habits is known as the habit loop:

• Cue - I hear a ping on my phone
• Craving - I want to check my socials
• Response - I pick it up 
• Reward - I am rewarded with a funny reel

If we intentionally create cues that make good habits the easier choice to make,

we will be rewarded with more mental margin, more inner freedom.

For instance:

• Cue - I see the phone notification to pack my gym bag
• Craving -  I crave the prepared feeling of having a less hectic morning
• Response -  I take 2 minutes to pack my bag and put it by the door
• Reward - I am rewarded with the mental freedom of knowing I am ready for the next day

Habits create freedom from having to make another decision.

Are the choices that you automatically make throughout the day beneficial to you becoming the person you want to be?
