The 3 R's of Behaviour Change

Changing a habit can be hard, but a little planning with these 3 key elements can make it a lot easier. 🧠Reminders - Life is full and busy. In the chaos and deluge of our daily information overload, we need to have a system in place to remind us about what we're trying to shift. Push notifications, screensaver reminders, a photo on our wall or a piece jewellery can all help flag our minds about what we need to do. 🔁 Repetition - we need to do things on a regular basis if we want things to change. Design your change around things you already repeatedly do everyday - do squats while you're brushing your teeth - write in a journal while having a morning coffee - add greens to your lunch and dinner 🕯️Rituals - when we repeatedly do things, we create neuropathways in our brains that form new habits (eg. drinking water before a meal, choosing grapes instead of cookies, or managing our emotional responses differently). Here's an example of how to build a new behaviour into your life. (Reminder ) When I drink my morning coffee, (Reminder) Instead of jumping into my emails, (Repetition and Ritual) I will journal about what I'm grateful for. I started using a new journal for this 2 minute morning ritual to make the experience more enticing. This helps set me up with a positive mindset for the day and reminds me to connect to my daily tasks with more ease and flow. What are you wanting to shift?
