EP | 12: Habit Stacking: How to Habit Stack Into Your Future Self

Cue the New You | Meritt Rollins Brown

You can habit stack your way to your future self. As the year 2022 comes to an end, you can start planning on who you want to be in the future. What is your future self thinking? What is your future self doing? Start creating a new lifestyle with small and simple habits.
Combine two to three habits together to habit stack. For example, if you want to drink more water, and wake up earlier but have formed the habit of hitting snooze, place a glass of water next to your bed and take a sip as soon as you hear your alarm clock go off. This way, your brain is waking up with the rest of your body, and you will be more alert and not hit snooze. You can also create the habit of setting a new bedtime. This way, you won't feel as tired in the morning. And the more water you drink, the more energy you will have throughout the day.
So you are stacking habits on top of each other to create lifestyle changes.
An important component though is to evaluate your habits. If you set a goal for yourself for this week of drinking 8 glasses of water per day, evaluate whether or not you reached that goal. At the end of everyday, ask yourself if you met the 8 glass goal, or did you fall short? Did you drink 10 glasses? What worked? What didn't work? What is something you could change for tomorrow in order to achieve the goal?
Who do you want to become in 2023?
What goals do you want to achieve?
