If you're struggling to make the change, it's because the old behavior is still meeting a need.

Instead of shaming yourself, identify the deeper need and allow it to exist

Then get curious about a new way to meet it.

11 Lessons from the book Atomic Habits 🌟

"Atomic Habits" focuses on incorporating small, consistent habits into our lives to bring about significant change over time. The book introduces a four-step model for building habits, emphasizing cues, cravings, responses, and rewards. It also guides you in overcoming bad habits and self-limiting beliefs, demonstrating how simple habits can lead to substantial progress toward our goals.

Lesson 1: Habits Over Hobbies: You are not inherently bad at your hobbies. Instead, it's the lack of consistent habits that has held you back.

Lesson 2: Identity Matters: Our self-image greatly influences our habits. While it's important, you shouldn't let it hinder your growth.

Lesson 3: Stacking Habits: The concept of habit stacking involves adding a new behavior to an existing habit, which can help you build a more effective morning routine.

Lesson 4: Embrace the System: Rather than solely focusing on goals, it's important to love the process—the journey itself. It's about embracing the system that leads to progress.

Lesson 5: Something is Better Than Nothing: Even small efforts are valuable. The "Two-Minute Rule" encourages starting new habits that take less than two minutes.

Lesson 6: Overcoming Boredom: Staying motivated in habits requires keeping them interesting and within the right level of challenge. "The Goldilocks Rule" emphasizes that tasks on the edge of our abilities are most motivating. Habits won't always be exciting, and that's okay.

Lesson 7: Bouncing Back from Misses: Missing a habit occasionally is normal, but missing it twice can turn into a new habit. The key is to rebound quickly, maintaining the compound gains from previous good days.

Lesson 8: Shaping Your Potential: Our genes affect what we're good at and the chances we get. Instead of feeling stuck by genes, we should use our strengths. Special traits are like superpowers. Questions in the chapter help us find what we care about. Quotes remind us to focus on self-improvement, not comparing. Genes alone don't bring success; effort matters. Genes give hints, but we shape our success by using our strengths.

Lesson 9: Creating a Supportive Environment: Our surroundings are important. If we change our environment to match the habits we want, we're more likely to succeed. By setting up our space to help our habits, we can make good habits easier. People often limit themselves by thinking they can't do better. He also says that just luck doesn't explain success – hard work does. Whether it's moving stuff around or using visual reminders, these changes can really help us succeed in the long run.

Lesson 10: Creating or Breaking Habits: The Four Steps

These four steps are the foundation upon which many of his ideas are built. They are not only applicable to creating positive habits but also to breaking negative ones.

Cue: This is the trigger that initiates a behavior. It can be a specific time, location, emotional state, or preceding action that prompts your brain to start a habit.

Craving: Craving is the motivation or desire behind a habit. It's the feeling that drives you to engage in the behavior triggered by the cue. It's important to understand the underlying craving to effectively change a habit.

Response: Response refers to the actual behavior that you perform as a result of the cue and craving. This is the action that you take in response to the trigger and motivation.

Reward: Rewards are the positive outcomes or feelings that you associate with completing the habit. They reinforce the habit loop by making you more likely to repeat the behavior in the future.

He explains that these four steps form a habit loop, where each step is interconnected. The loop starts with a cue, followed by craving, which leads to a response, and ultimately ends with a reward. If any part of this loop isn't satisfying, the habit is less likely to stick.

Lesson 11: Success is a product of daily habits and overnight success is not overnight:

Success is not a result of overnight transformations but is instead rooted in the daily habits we cultivate. By recognizing the power of consistent, incremental actions, we can build a solid foundation for lasting success. This perspective challenges the allure of instant success and encourages us to focus on the journey of continuous improvement through daily habits.

Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.

- James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

“Pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the underlying fear that comes from a feeling of helplessness."

Read it again. I know it’s hard to take in at first. It means that no matter how “secure” any of us feel in the little cocoon we have built for ourselves, we live, consciously or unconsciously, with the fear that the day of reckoning will eventually come.

People who refuse to take risks live with a feeling of dread that is far more severe than what they would feel if they took the risks necessary to make them less helpless—only they don’t know it!

My Favorite Self-Help Book You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

In a world flooded with bestselling personal development titles, it’s easy to miss the quieter, lesser-known books that can change your life in profound ways. While titles like Atomic Habits and The Power of Now have their place, today I want to spotlight a self-help book that helped shift my mindset in a meaningful, lasting way. That book? The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer. It’s not a…

[letsberealgenz]

nobody tells you this

“Whenever you’re trying to do better in life, you’d be challenged in the most terrifying manner where giving up feels like the only option left.”

But take the alternative route. Keep grasping for air. Keep walking on your path despite the thorns beneath your feet. Keep going love because part of being a champion is really just about never giving up.

I know it’s easier said than done. I feel you but nobody tells you this. It gets easier when you start doing this:

Be really clear about your long-term goals.

Craft your path based on your life goals and true purpose.

Plan your days/weeks ahead.

Implement habits that would move you closer towards your goals.

It’s time to remove toxic relationships.

Spend more time alone getting to know yourself truly.

Put yourself in the right environment.

Join the right organizations/causes/societies that actually feeds your purpose and move you closer towards your goals.

Be really picky with your time. Choose who/what have access to it.

ALWAYS invest in yourself.

Spend time with nature as much as possible.

Meditate.

Journal.

Volunteer.

Read the right books.

Listen to the right podcasts.

Watch the right videos.

Detox your social media following.

Reduce your mindless scrolling on social media.

Clean up your current space.

Recycle/donate/dispose the unnecessary stuff sitting in your space.

Live an intentional life.

Practice minimalism.

Move your body often. Sweat it out.

Learn a new skill/activity/anything that helps you to get closer to your goals.

Look after your finances. Track your spending. Save what you can. Multiply and grow the rest through investments.

Reduce alcohol/nicotine/caffeine consumption as much as possible.

Make a vision board based on your goals and purpose.

Affirm yourself daily.

Simplify and only focus on the most important task that needs to be carried out for the day based on your goals.

Always prioritize your “me-time” whenever you can.

Spend more time with your family/friends/loved ones. Everybody is just getting older.

More self-talk.

Always track your goals from time to time. See what needs to be eliminated. What needs to be improved. What needs to be doubled.

Find a way on how your talent/skill/purpose/goals can be monetized.

I can go on and on but just remember everything and anything is possible. If one door closes, the other is still open. You just have to keep trying. Nobody tells you this:

“A major part of self-improvement is really just about improving yourself from time to time. It is a never ending cycle. There would never be a time when you’re satisfied with your progress. You just want to be better and better. Do more and more. Just like the sequence of numbers that never ends, and is infinite, so is your growth.”

Keep going love, I believe in you!

I finally downloaded Libby and I have in fact determined the reason I wasn’t reading before is that I couldn’t do it with dimmed lighting. Being able to read on my phone or tablet is 1000x better in every way. Now I can have my cute ambient lighting AND be able to see what I’m reading 😂.
