Simple: make it fun.
Turn that habit into something you look forward to.
Here are a few hacks on how to spice up your habits and keep you committed:
#1 Commit to a Challenge
The beauty in this is that you’re handing yourself over to a script.
The rules are already written, you just do what they tell you to do.
If you want to have better habits this year, find a challenge you can participate in.
#2 Make it Interesting
Turning anything into a competition can make it infinitely more interesting.
Turn your habit into a bet with your friends.
#3 Make it About Your Identity
Certain habits and commitments can be foundational to your identity.
Make something a lifestyle that is integral to you as a person.
This helps you form the habit and also understand who you are as a person.
Look at the habits you’re trying to form right now and see how they relate to you as a person.
If you can find that ground, you can implement the habit into your life philosophy, not just your day.
