How do you build up a new habit?

Make a decision

First of all, you need to make a decision. Without a decision, A REAL decision, nothing will work.

Choose one habit at a time

It is true that if you continue with a habit for 21 times, it is very likely that you will continue with it.

But the question is how to succeed with the first 21 days (which some say should be 60 to 70 days).

Write it on your wall

Write the habit you want to adopt on your wall, your mirror, on your refrigerator or anywhere you would see it at least once a day.

It is better to write it in the most relevant place. For example, if it is a habit related to food, find a place in your kitchen. If it is about cleaning, skin care, etc, you might want it in your bathroom.

This will actually start a trigger every time you see it.
