00:00Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.

00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about how to make good habits stick and drop the bad ones.

00:15Habits are just regular actions, brushing your teeth, checking your phone, writing daily.

00:20Some help your health, others get in the way.

00:22The good news, you can change the ones that don't work and build better ones.

00:261. Why habits matter. The more you repeat something, the more automatic it feels.

00:31If it's good for you, you'll want to keep doing it.

00:34Habits like daily writing or affirmations build motivation and confidence.

00:38They also reduce stress by adding structure to your day.

00:41Your brain loves routines, it likes knowing what to expect.

00:442. How to build a new habit. Yes, you can teach yourself new habits.

00:48One trick is habit stacking, adding a new habit to something you already do.

00:52For example, say your affirmations while brushing your teeth.

00:55Here's how to make habits stick.

00:57Start small. Keep it simple and doable.

01:00Make it easy. Remove any extra effort.

01:02Be consistent. Do it at the same time each day.

01:05Celebrate wins. Use notes or small rewards to stay motivated.

01:09Team up. A habit buddy can help you stay on track.

01:123. Be patient with yourself.

01:14Habits take time, about 66 days on average.

01:17Miss a day. Don't beat yourself up.

01:19Use it as a chance to spot what got in the way and adjust.

01:224. Breaking a bad habit. Replace it with something better.

01:25Instead of doomscrolling, read, journal, or listen to music.

01:29Having a go-to replacement helps when the urge hits.

01:325. More tips.

01:33Stay aware. Notice how the habit feels.

01:36Know your why. Keep your reason for changing in mind.

01:39Spot triggers.

01:40Plan ahead for tricky moments, like walking after dinner instead of vaping,

01:44or using a fidget toy instead of biting your nails.

01:466. Get support if needed.

01:48A therapist can help you find the root of your habits.

01:51Create realistic goals.

01:53Stay motivated and consistent.

01:55Work through resistance.

01:56And adjust your approach when things get tough.

01:58Some habits come from deeper struggles, and that's okay.

02:01Support can make a big difference.

02:03You've got this.

02:04Start small, stay consistent, and give yourself grace along the way.

02:08Come again to our next meeting Sunbro.
