Building Sustainable, Healthy Habits

Are you tired of trying new habits that just don’t stick? Do you find yourself overwhelmed by taking on too many changes at once, only to end up feeling like you’ve failed? You’re not alone. Many of us struggle with building sustainable habits, but it doesn’t have to be this way. With the right tools and approach, you can create lasting changes that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. That’s why we created the Healthy Habits Builder and Workbook.

The Problem: Why Habits Don’t Stick

The primary reason many of us fail to build lasting habits is that we often try to do too much at once or choose habits that don’t align with our lifestyle. This leads to repeated failures, which can erode our self-trust and motivation. But there's a better way.

LEARNING HOW TO BUILD HABITS THAT ACTUALLY WORK FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE

Building sustainable habits that truly work for you and your lifestyle requires a personalized approach that considers four key criteria: physiology, psychology, practical circumstances, and personal preferences.

  1. Physiology: Understanding what works best for your body is crucial. This involves recognizing the types of exercise and nutrition that allow you to feel and function at your best. Everyone’s body is unique, and finding what aligns with your physiological needs can lead to more effective and enjoyable habits.

  2. Psychology: Our mental approach to change and stress significantly impacts how we adopt new habits. It's essential to acknowledge how new actions affect your stress levels, whether it’s positive (eustress) or negative (distress). Developing strategies that help you manage change and stress will make it easier to stick with new habits.

  3. Practical Circumstances: Your lifestyle commitments—such as your schedule, family, friends, and career—play a significant role in what habits you can realistically maintain. Focus on what you can do within your current parameters rather than what you think you should do. This practical approach ensures that new habits are sustainable and fit seamlessly into your life.

  4. Personal Preferences: Your likes and dislikes matter when building new habits. While sometimes you might need to make decisions that go against your preferences, it's important to consider them to maintain a balanced approach. Habits that align with your preferences are more likely to stick and bring long-term satisfaction.

By focusing on these four criteria, you can create habits that are not only sustainable but also enriching and aligned with your unique lifestyle.
