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

Bonus - Everything is on loan

Everything is on loan.   Our possessions, our friends, family, even our own lives.  If we're lucky the loan is repaid after we die, but we've all had loans retuned before we where ready or worse, before we were aware it was a loan. Whenever you are in a state of truly loving life remind yourself 'This is all on loan.'  Be grateful and take in all you can, cause one day, memories is all you'll have left.
