April 11 Weekly Technique
Try this!
Ready to build a habit? Here’s how to find a behaviour that will actually stick.
Let’s dive a little deeper…
When behaviours have an immediate positive impact, they’re more reinforcing, meaning we’re more likely to want to do them again. And the more we repeat a behaviour at the same time using the same cue, the more likely it’ll become a habit. (All good things.)

Once you give your new behaviour a try over the week…
● Are you happy, proud, or feeling a positive impact? Great! This is a good behaviour to turn into a habit. Choose a cue that will remind you to practice it consistently.
● Not finding the habit particularly rewarding? Try using temptation bundling to make the behaviour more reinforcing!
