You can listen to our <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0x3aLR5OhrpCZZUcyRDGQi?si=ee5ac768fde343d9" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">goalsetting episode</a> from season 1. </li> </ul> <p>Some of the things we mentioned in this episode:</p> <ul> <li>Gwenda's favorite book of all times: <a href="https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">ATOMIC HABITS</a></li> <li>Gwenda's elevator pitch for Atomic Habits: it's the one book that will change your life! It's science-backed with lots of practical examples. You can implement the concepts right away while reading the book.</li> <li>We all have habits whether we consciously implement them or just follow a certain way of doing things.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Habits create discipline and discipline = freedom.</li> <li>Habit Stacking: add a new habit on top of an existing habit to increase the chances of sticking to it (example: After journaling in the morning, I read 10 pages.)</li> <li>Accountability partners help you stick to your habits (example: join a book club if you want to read more)</li> <li>Tiny habits and small changes can create a big impact in your life.</li> <li>Small habits compound over time, creating a powerful cumulative effect. 1% improvements daily can lead to significant progress, while 1% declines can have the opposite effect.</li> <li>While setting your big annual goals, think of 2-3 small daily habits that you can implement to achieve those goals (example:</li> <li>Ali Abdaal: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz59q8wHECk&ab_channel=AliAbdaal" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">How to Be Effortlessly Disciplined: 5 Mindset Shifts</a></li> <li>Don't try to implement too many new habits at the time. Focus on 2-3 new habits at a time, and after a few months, those habits become second nature (like brushing our teeth in the morning) and you can start working on a new set of tiny habits.</li> <li>The Habit Loop: 1. Cue (a trigger that initiates a behavior), 2. Craving (the motivation behind the habit), 3. Response (the habit or action itself), 4. Reward (the benefit that reinforces the habit).</li> <li>The 4 Laws of Behavior Change: 1. Make it obvious - use cues to remind you of the habit (example: leaving your gym clothes out), 2. Make it attractive - link habits to rewards or things you enjoy (example: pairing workouts with listening to a favorite podcast), 3. Make it easy - reduce friction and lower barriers to entry (example: starting with just two minutes of exercise), 4. Make it satisfying - provide immediate gratification or a sense of accomplishment (example: buy yourself flowers on the way back from the gym).</li> <li>Never miss two days in a row.</li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-VFShuFJXQ" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Don't have a zero day</a>: do the bare minimum (example: you might have missed the gym, but instead of doing nothing -aka having a zero day- you do 10 push-ups at home).</li> <li> 1% better every day</li> <li>Progression > Perfection</li> <li>Measure your progress (example: habit tracker, fitness tracker, reading list, etc)</li> <li>Atomic habits are an investment into the future to become the best version of yourself</li> <li>Replace bad habits by replacing them with good habits (example: instead of scrolling on your phone at night, read 10 pages of your current book) </li> </ul> <p><strong>Follow G+T Conversations on Instagram</strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/gtconversations/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong> @GTconversations</strong></a><strong>.
