How to hack your happy hormones !

Here are 10 lessons from the book “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg:

1. Habits are powerful forces that shape our lives. They can help us achieve our goals or hold us back from success.

2. Habits are formed by a three-step loop: cue, routine, and reward. The cue is a trigger that tells our brains to go into automatic mode. The routine is the behavior we perform. The reward is what we get out of the behavior.

3. Once a habit is formed, it can be very difficult to change. This is because the brain creates a neural pathway for the habit. The more we repeat the habit, the stronger the neural pathway becomes.

4. However, it is possible to change habits. The key is to identify the cue and reward for the habit you want to change. Once you know what triggers the habit and what you get out of it, you can start to create a new habit loop.

5. One way to change a habit is to insert a new routine into the habit loop. This can be done by making small changes to the cue or reward. For example, if you want to stop eating junk food, you could start by putting it out of sight. This will make it less likely that you will be triggered to eat it.

6. Another way to change a habit is to make the new routine more attractive. This can be done by making it more rewarding or by making it easier to do. For example, if you want to start exercising, you could make a deal with a friend to go to the gym together. This will make it more likely that you will actually go.

7. It is important to be patient when trying to change a habit. It can take weeks or even months to break a bad habit and form a new one. Don't give up if you don't see results immediately.

8. It is also important to be kind to yourself. Changing habits is hard work. Don't beat yourself up if you slip up. Just pick yourself up and start again.

9. Finally, remember that you are not alone. Everyone struggles with habits. There are many resources available to help you change your habits.

10. The most important thing is to never give up. If you keep trying, you will eventually succeed.

I hope these lessons help you on your journey to creating better habits.
