In the previous chapters we discussed the power of habits and how to set goals and habits that support them. Now it's time to take action and create a habit plan that will help you achieve your goals and create the life you want. In this chapter we'll go over the steps you need to take to design a habit plan that works for you and fits your lifestyle. Step 1 Identify your Habits The first step in creating a habit plan is to identify the habits you want to develop. You can start by making a list of habits you want to create, such as exercising regularly, reading for 30 minutes a day, or eating a healthy breakfast every morning. Be specific about the habits you want to develop and make sure they align with your goals. Step 2 Define your Habits The next step is to define your habits. Define what your habits look like, when and where you will do them, and how often. For example, if your goal is to exercise regularly, define what type of exercise you will do, how long you will exercise for, and when and where you will exercise. If your goal is to read 30 minutes a day, define what you will read, when and where you will read it, and for how long. Step 3 Plan Your Habits The third step is to plan your habits. Plan out your habits by creating a schedule or routine that includes your habits. Make sure your plan is realistic and fits your lifestyle. For example, if you plan to exercise in the morning, make sure you have enough time to complete your workout before work. If you plan to read 30 minutes a day, schedule it into your day when you have free time. Step 4 Track Your Habits The fourth step is to track your habits. Tracking your habits is an important part of creating a habit plan because it helps you stay accountable and motivated. Use a habit tracker to keep track of your habits and monitor your progress. You can use a simple pen and paper tracker, a digital habit tracker, or an app. Make sure you track your habits consistently and regularly. Step 5 Review Your Habits The final step is to review your habits regularly. Reviewing your habits allows you to see what's working and what's not and make adjustments as needed. Review your habits at least once a week and assess your progress. Celebrate your successes and make adjustments to your plan if necessary. Tips for Creating a Habit Plan Creating a habit plan can be challenging, but it's important to remember that it's a process. Here are some tips to help you create a habit plan that works for you. Start small. It's easier to create a new habit when you start small. Focus on one or two habits at a time and build from there. Be specific. Define your habits in detail, including what they look like, when and where you will do them, and how often. Plan your habits into your routine. Make sure your habits fit into your daily routine and schedule. They will help you make your habits a part of your lifestyle. Use reminders. Set reminders that help you remember to do your habits. This can be a phone alarm, a calendar reminder, or a posted note. Be consistent. Consistency is key when it comes to creating habits. Stick to your plan and don't give up. Celebrate your successes. Celebrate each time you successfully complete a habit. This will help motivate you to continue. Creating a habit plan is an important step in achieving your goals and creating the life you want.
