The Rocco Effect - Make It Easy

Don't practice what you do not want to become. You don't get to pick to not lay down a habit. You only get to pick which habit you want to lay down. - Chris Williamson (Modern Wisdom)

The Rocco Effect - Make It Easy

Bad habits are easy to fall into, because short term satisfaction doesn't involve much thought, long term does.  In order to eat healthier, start by not having unhealthy food in your home.  Buy healthy snacks and keep them on show, easy to get to.  If you're peckish the easy option is to eat that healthy snack on show, the difficult option is to get ready, go shopping and buy that unhealthy snack.  By adding friction to the bad habit, you're much less likely to do it.

Task

1. What bad habits do you have?
2. How can you add friction to these habits?
3. How can you make good habits easier?
4. Take action

If you value the truth, even a white lie, in the hopes to make you feel better, would hurt you. If you value family, only for them to pick friends over you, that would hurt. Often we feel this way, without knowing why and this leads to a lot of stress and questioning ourselves.  Once you know your values, knowing what choice to make is a lot easier. You choose whatever choice is closest to your highest values. Even in failure, you can rest happy, knowing that you made the right choice. Comic Video Reading Task 1.
