💙At Your Chiropractor Emerald, we're dedicated to guiding you on your journey to holistic well-being. Today, we're sharing insights from the book 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear to provide practical tips for enhancing your well-being, starting now! ✨
🔑 Key Insights from Atomic Habits:
📚 1% Better Daily: Small, consistent improvements compound into extraordinary results. Progress, not perfection. At the end of a year, you will have made a 365% improvement!
📚 Identity Shift: Challenge your beliefs to reshape your identity and habits. We often hold onto the same beliefs, never questioning the why of what we do. Not updating your beliefs is like running an old version of a software, it can get outdated!
📚 Master the Habit Loop: Learn to identify cues, cravings, responses, and rewards to rewire your habits for success. Determine the cues that trigger certain behaviours you wish to add or remove from your daily routine. Identify the cravings that motivate you to take action and observe the automatic response you currently have. The last step to habit creation is the reward system. If you wish to promote healthy habits, determine your reward; this can be checking off the to-do list, taking progress photos, journalling or any other specific healthy rewards you wish to implement to motivate yourself to maintain the positive habit.
🏊♀️ Let's dive deeper into transforming habits with an illustrative example:
🍔 Habit: Indulging in takeaways every week
1️⃣ Cue - Hunger
2️⃣ Craving - Tasty Food
3️⃣ Response: Buy takeaway
4️⃣ Habit: Spending money on takeaway each week and compromising on our overall health and wellbeing long-term
💪 How can we break this habit? We want to look at each cue, craving and response, to understand which parts need changing. If we look at Cue, and Craving, neither is inherently an issue, but the 'solution' here is suboptimal, what steps can we take to change the 'solution' here? 🤔
🥗 Solution: Meal prep, give yourself the chance to dedicate some time to creating a 'batch' of food, enough to keep a tasty meal in your fridge throughout the week. 👩🍳
✨ Now, the habit loop looks more like this:
1️⃣ Cue - Hunger
2️⃣ Craving - Tasty Food
3️⃣ Response - Reach for that tasty meal you've prepared
4️⃣ Reward - Feel satisfied having eaten nutritious food that was not only tasty but healthy as well.
