How to Set Up Your First Habit

Creating Your First Habit

Habits are the foundation of lasting change. Here's how to set up your first habit for success:

Step 1: Choose a Simple Habit

Start small! Examples of good first habits:

• Drink one glass of water upon waking
• Take 5 deep breaths before bed
• Write down 3 things you're grateful for
• Do 10 push-ups or squats

Step 2: Set Your Trigger

Link your new habit to an existing routine. This helps with consistency.

Step 3: Track Daily

Use the habit tracker to mark completion each day. Visual progress is motivating!

Step 4: Be Patient

It takes an average of 66 days to form a new habit. Don't give up if you miss a day - just get back on track.
