Key ideas

 Don’t focus on breaking bad habits.

 Rather create a new and supportive habit.

 Your brain can’t picture DONT’s.

 It takes 21 days in a row to create a new habit.

 Your chances of creating a new habit are stronger if you repeat

the action at the same time every day.

 Your chances of creating a new habit are stronger if you use all

your senses when repeating the behaviour you want to

habitualise.

 The brain is amoral about habits.

 The brain creates a habit when there is repetition.

 The brain’s job is to find a more effective way to do something

that is repeated often. It does this by creating a new neural

pathway that automates the process as much as possible.

 You can consciously create new habits by repeating behaviour.

 You habitualise your state of being – including thought patterns,

emotions, attitudes, health etc.

 Introduce one small habit at a time. Thirty days later, you can

introduce another one.

 Don’t stress if you’re not making changes quickly enough.
