Does habit creation actually matter?

It sure does.

In fact, much of your life is made up of habits you never even intended to create.

Today I find myself delving into this topic because I know it's an area that is gaining more traction as neuroscience evolves.

It's also critical for anyone who wants to achieve important goals and build a more successful life.

Did you know that it's easy for us to have our brains automatically follow routines and habits?

We automate mundane tasks such as brushing our teeth, preparing coffee, walking, and driving a car. And we can automate positive habits as well.

According to The Power of Habit, by Charles Duhigg, a Duke University researcher found that "more than 40 percent of the actions people performed each day weren't actual decisions, but habits."

So what kind of routines and habits should you be automating?

Wondering how to stick to a routine?

So you’ve created a daily routine…but now how are you going to stick with it?

This is a particularly exciting topic for me as I am going through my own transformation while establishing a new daily routine.

Here’s the thing: you can create the greatest daily or morning routine of all times, but if you don’t keep at it, you won’t see the results.

You need to stick with it long enough to make it automatic.

Intentionality by design is making yourself, your dreams, desires and goals a reality by focusing on what is most important to you.

Each day you must be in the mindset to invite happiness into your life. Determine what happiness is for you.

What makes your heart sing and why? Knowing this will set you up for small daily wins.

Love yourself and breathe belief into YOU.

When you have quiet time to think about your priorities (usually after the kids are in bed!), close your eyes and visualize what matters most to you.
