| YOU ASKED, WW ANSWERED | How can I build a new habit? | Habits are predictable things we do without even thinking, like crossing our legs when we sit down. They develop when we consistently repeat simple behaviors and spring to life based on a specific cue, like something we see, a time of day, or a way we feel. Want to build a habit? Try this! 1. Choose a simple behavior you'd like to turn into a habit. Try focusing on something that feels good, like drinking a cup of water first thing each day. 2. Identify a reliable cue that will remind you to take action. For example: "When I press start on my coffee machine each morning, I'll fill my mug with water and drink it." 3. Each time you experience the cue, put your behavior into action! This will help it become a habit over time. | โAllison Grupski, PHD, WW director of behavior change strategies and coaching | | | | | | | | Learn more | | | |
