🐝 Buzzing back to our series on Building Habits 101! In our previous nectar, we delved into the common hiccups to avoid when creating new habits. This time around, we'll dive into strategies to keep your motivation as high as a 🐝 bee's wing.
Habit formation is a journey that requires determination and effort, but it can be a challenge to maintain momentum. Let's get started!
Here are a few strategies that have worked for me:
Use rewards and incentives to motivate yourself: Rewarding yourself for sticking to your habit can be a great way to stay motivated. This could be something small and immediate, like a healthy snack or a few minutes of your favorite TV show, or something bigger and longer-term, like a new workout outfit or a day at the spa. Whatever works for you! Just make sure the reward is something you will actually look forward to.
Seek accountability from friends or a coach: Having someone else hold you accountable for your habit can be a big motivator. This could be a friend, family member, or accountability partner who checks in with you regularly to make sure you are sticking to your habit. Or, you might consider working with a coach or mentor who can provide guidance and support as you build your habit.
Celebrate small victories and progress: Building new habits takes time and effort, so it's important to celebrate your victories along the way. When you reach a milestone or make progress with your habit, treat yourself to something small, like a healthy snack or a new workout shirt. This can help keep you motivated and reinforce your new habit.
