Shoremates,

In today's episode, we finish chapters 1 and 2 out of Charles Duhigg's legendary book, The Power of Habit: Why we do what we do in Life and Business. 

Action Items

1.  Yesterday you wrote down a habit you wanted to get rid of, along with how you were feeling and what you thought triggered it.  With today’s information, what can you do to interrupt the habit loop?  A few ideas can be putting a phone into airplane mode, turning off wifi, removing cigarettes or alcohol from a house, putting running shoes by the door and gym clothes next to your bed to put on when you wake up.
2. What is a habit you want to start doing?  Think about something that will be a cue to remind you to do the habit, such as the earlier mentioned running shoes by the door.  Then think about how you’re going to reward yourself. This will help start the craving process and help turn it into a habit faster. 

Shoremates, I hope that this episode was valuable to you. This is a life changing book, and I highly recommend adding it to your bookshelf for greater detail on each chapter.

Always, always remember.  You’ve got this.
