Every habit, good or bad, has a trigger.
The process of changing a poor habit or making a good habit better isn’t in altering the behavior, it’s in altering the trigger.
When you go to the source, you can switch the behavior that follows.
Farmer’s market may currently mean cinnamon roll, but you can change it to mean fresh sweet potatoes. The alarm in the morning may trigger you to check Facebook, but switch the trigger to remind you to stretch.
It’s easy to just skip the triggers altogether; don’t go to the Farmer’s market or have a morning alarm, but easy is not the point; better is.
Stay Positive & Better Life Comes From Better Habits
