Successful habit building relies on<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.3982/ECTA7416"> frequently repeating a behaviour</a>, and if your routine becomes too brittle, you’ll follow through less often. A flexible habit means you can still do what you need to even when a wrench is thrown in your first best plans – say, a traffic jam on the way to dropping the kids off at school that gets in the way of your morning meditation.

4. Foster flexibility

We think that, people who have achieved a lot in their lives are very motivated and so on.But, that's not the case those achievers have build habits which they follow on daily basis which helped them to be an achiever. Well, the ways to build habits to make your life more productive and to customise your autopilot mode are as follows:-

Why we need to build habits?

Scientists have proven that you’ll make more progress toward your goal if you decide not just what you’ll do, but when you’ll be cued to do it, as well as where you’ll do it and how you’ll get there.Make your habit more detailed for example:-"i have to hit the gym everyday 5 days a week" instead say "i will hit the gym after my last meeting, every 5 days a week".

2. Create a detailed, cue-based plan

Whenever you are trying to build a habit, you say to yourself that u will meditate everyday which is abstract.Try saying yourself "i'll mediate 10 mins everyday".This helps to get you started and you can see your progress effortlessly.

1. Set a specific goal

You need make your habit fun.For example:- if you are going for Zumba classes try going with a friend.Because you are far more likely to stick with something you enjoy and <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.3982/ECTA7416">repetition</a> is key to habit formation, making the experience positive is <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/634510">critical</a>, but it’s often overlooked.

3. Make it fun to repeat

This idea is mostly overlooked, but it is crucial to have some people around you who help you achieve your habits and your goals. Joining a running club than asking a few friends who aren’t yet in the habit of jogging to get in shape with you. People in the running club have already built the habits you want. You can learn from them about what works and gain friends who will make you feel like a slouch when you slack off.
