How To Build Healthy Habits That Stick

Struggling to build new healthy habits?

Here’s a simple 4-step process to make any new healthy habit stick.

1. Decide on a goal that you’d like to achieve for your health.

2. Choose a simple action that will get you towards your goal which you can do on a daily basis.

3. Plan when and where you’ll do your chosen action. Be consistent. Choose a time and place that you encounter every day of the week.

4. Every time you encounter that time and place, do the action.

For example:

• Your goal: I want to eat more fruit and veg.
• Your plan: I will eat one piece of fruit every day.
• When and where: I will eat my fruit with my lunch at my office or my dining table.

You can also keep a simple daily tick sheet or note on your phone to keep track of the habit.

You can rate how automatic it feels at the end of each week.

The context in which you choose to do the habit is very important.

That’s why it has to be a similar place and time.

This will help to rewire the neurons in your brain to associate that cue (lunchtime) with eating more fruit.

A cue or prompt within an existing daily routine (lunch) provides a great starting point.

Consistent behaviours are key to building new habits.

If you do the habit, give yourself a pat on the back.

When it is a simple task, the habit will become automatic in a quicker timeframe.

In summary.

1. Choose the health goal.
2. Pick one simple action to get started.
3. Plan when and where you’ll do your action.
4. Do the action at that time and place as often as possible.
