One habit that can change everything π
Being *that girl* isn't *that complicated*
Reading Time: 2 mins 17 sec
I bet you look at yourself in the mirror and think you have to change so many things about yourself. π©βπ¦°
And I donβt mean looks. Itβs all those things you always tell yourself youβre gonna do. Let me guess, you want to:
eat healthier
start working out
journal
study on time
read more books
start doing a skincare routine
get more into cooking,
earn some new skill
go to bed earlier
start doing cold showers
etc., etcβ¦. the list is endless π
There are so many things we feel like we have to start doing to live our lives ββthe right wayββ.
So many, in fact, that you end up being overwhelmed and not doing any of them. π
Well, what if I told you there is one habit that can transform everything?
No, Iβm not joking. π
In psychology, there is a concept we call a keystone habit. π§
It is a habit that causes a cascade of other good actions.
For example, you know when you workout and then suddenly get the urge to also eat something healthy instead of just grabbing a $2 slice of pizza? π₯
You working out was an action that inspired another good action - having a healthy meal.
Also when you start exercising you sleep better, your hormones are more balanced so you feel better, you are more energized and more productiveβ¦ π
Just by implementing one good habit, more things start falling into place.
Becoming that girl is not actually about doing everything.
It is about carefully choosing one or two habits to focus on and watching the domino effect. β¨
Success doesnβt depend on doing every single thing right. It depends on identifying a few key priorities and using them as a lever. π―
Successful people are simply those with successful habits.
So what is the best keystone habitβ Well, there is no single answer. But, studies have shown that exercise is a great keystone habit for most people.
Another great one would be making your bed the first time in the morning.
Surely you have already tried to cultivate new habits.
Even if you have failed, think about those times and ask yourself: What was a thing you did that inspired you to do other good actions? π€π
Here are some more examples you can use as inspo:
π journaling
π writing a to-do list
π meditation
π reading
π having a meal with people you love
π not looking at your phone for the first 30 minutes after you wake up
β¦ and many more.
Implementing a small habit has the potential to transform your entire life.
Sit down and ask yourself - what are you doing when everything else falls into place? β¨ Start doing that thing.
Sending you love and light until next Thursday,
