Keep the habit cycle going with reminders from "summary" of Tiny Habits by B. J. Fogg
To make a habit stick, you need to keep the habit cycle going with reminders. Reminders are crucial in helping you remember to perform your desired behavior. Without reminders, it's easy to forget or neglect your habit. You might start off strong, but as time goes on, the habit can slip from your routine. This is where reminders come in handy.
Reminders can be anything that prompts you to perform your habit. It could be an alarm on your phone, a sticky note on your mirror, or a visual cue in your environment. The key is to find a reminder that works for you and that you will see regularly. The more you see the reminder, the more likely you are to remember to do the habit.
When choosing a reminder, consider your daily routine and where the reminder will fit in best. For example, if you want to start flossing after you brush your teeth, you could place a floss container next to your toothbrush as a visual reminder. Or, if you want to drink a glass of water when you wake up, you could set an alarm on your phone to remind you.
Reminders are not only helpful in remembering to do your habit, but they also reinforce the habit in your mind. Each time you see the reminder, it reinforces the behavior you want to make automatic. Over time, the habit will become more ingrained in your routine, and you may not need the reminder as often.
Incorporating reminders into your habit cycle can help you stay on track and make your habit a permanent part of your life. By keeping the habit cycle going with reminders, you are setting yourself up for success in forming new habits. So, find a reminder that works for you and watch as your habit becomes second nature.
