Atomic Habits:The way to change life


Atomic Habits is the go-to manual for changing poor habits and forming good ones in four simple steps. It demonstrates how little, incremental daily routines add up to significant, positive change over time.

You can use the following three lessons to break negative habits and create positive ones by putting everything has learned by practice.


Lesson 1: The four steps of cue, craving, response, and reward constitute the foundation of all habits.



James contends that the environment acts as an invisible influence on habit formation. Because of this, the first action in carrying out any habit is always to use a trigger. It might not always be external, but it almost always will be. The final three phases of the four-stage process then come next:


1-Cue:A Clue that points to a potential reward, such as the aroma of baking cookies or a pitch-black space that will soon be illuminated.
2-Craving: The drive to make a change so that you can reap the benefits, like tasting the cookie's deliciousness or being able to see.
3-Response: you need to think or do to reach the reward.
4-Reward:  positive emotion you have as a result of the adjustment and the knowledge of whether to repeat it or not.

Lesson 2: For habits to stick, they must be evident, appealing, simple, and fulfilling.

 



 1-Make it visible:  your fruits prominently on display rather than hiding them in the refrigerator.




2-Make it attractive:  with the fruit you enjoy the most to increase the likelihood that you'll want to eat one when you see it.



3-Easy it up:  focusing on fruits that are challenging to peel in order to avoid unnecessary conflict. For instance, eating apples and bananas is really simple.



4-Achieve Satisfaction:  like eating it and feel healthier as a result if you like the fruit you choose!

Lesson 3: Using a habit tracker is a simple and enjoyable technique to make sure you continue with your new routines.

Making and breaking habits becomes entertaining with a framework like this. Even though you'll probably want to start working on several things at once sooner rather than later, moderation is key. Using a habit tracker to keep track of your routines is a simple method to hold yourself accountable without getting overwhelmed.
The concept is straightforward-You keep a list of all the behaviors you wish to adopt or give up, and you mark the ones you were successful with at the end of each day. A single piece of paper, a notebook, a calendar, or a digital tool like an app can all serve as this record.

Happiness: The Way of Living

Image
Everyone wants to feel happy, even though it can be hard to find and describe. At its most basic level, happiness is a feeling of well-being and contentment that comes from within. It has nothing to do with the outside world or things, but with how someone thinks and acts in life. It doesn't depend on what's going on around you or what you have. Several studies have shown that happiness is good for our mental and emotional health as well as our physical health. People who are happier tend to have healthier immune systems, lower levels of stress hormones, and less chance of getting chronic diseases. Now, the question is how to bring more happiness into our lives. Here are some tips: 1 . Learn to be grateful. Gratitude is all about being thankful for what you already have instead of focusing on what you think you're missing. Studies have shown that people who make thankfulness a big part of their lives are happier and more satisfied with their lives in general. 2. Build...
