It is human nature to keep doing the things we’ve done most recently and most frequently.
Showering daily
Drinking coffee
Getting in a workout
Indulging in sugar
Drinking that big ass glass of wine
As you build new habits, the same holds true. If you starting getting up early to workout, once you’ve done it a few times (made it recent & frequent), you’re much more likely to keep doing it.
When you are conscious of the concept of recency & frequency, you can really prove your power in establishing new habits. This can be extremely liberating and assist you in building momentum and confidence with new habits and routines.
To improve the recency & frequency of desired behaviors, habits and routines, you can (and should):
Plan behaviors
Track behaviors as you do them
Track wins
Plan rewards
Self Monitor
Always practice discomfort
Listen in to hear how to implement all this and use it in the final weeks of 2016 and as you cruise into 2017.
