Habit Stacking

 
coffee cup Banner template.png
Happy Wednesday Community! This month I’ve been taking part in a 6 week journey designed to aid habit building and strengthen mindfulness. In this week’s session, we touched on the topic of habit stacking. This involves “stacking” the new behavior/habit you’re trying to adopt onto a current behavior/habit in order to help you remember to do it. Here are some key takeaways that I got from that session that I want to share with you all:
 
  1. Start small
  2. Do a brainstorm dump of all your current habits (that you want to keep)
  3. Be extremely specific
  4. Choose a realistic cue
  5. Give yourself a timeline
 
An example of this would be deciding that after you turn on your tea kettle each morning, that you’ll be mindful and take deep breaths for one minute. What's great is that every time you turn on your tea kettle, you’ll have a built-in reminder integrated into a daily routine that helps you maintain consistency.
 
Now that I’ve shared my key takeaways, I want to hear from you! Have you ever implemented habit stacking into your daily routine? Or is this something you’ve never done but would love to try? Feel free to share in the comments section below! Happy habit stacking!
