Introducing ‘habit stacking’, is taking me closer to my future self one step at a time and I have seen a remarkable change in all areas of my life.
Habit stacking is essentially piggy-backing onto the parts of your everyday routine, like brushing your teeth, making a coffee or commuting to work. I started by making small and easy additions to my routine for a few weeks and once I felt they were integrated , I then started to slowly add a few more, alongside my continued practices of infrared saunas, cold plunges and breathwork, to name a few.
Where you choose to begin, it has to start small. Life is busy, we're all juggling work, social life, being a parent, a partner - you don’t want to be exhausted by your self care routine. Master the art of showing up first, so you can build on your habits. Two minutes of something is better than nothing and habit stacking can be applied to anything.
I’ve also found an insightful podcast from Mel Robins 'Do this every morning, how to feel focused, energized and in control'. If a podcast feels a little too much for you, then you can find bitesize versions of Mel’s wisdom on her social accounts.
