His audiobook is lifechanging! I am working Robin Sharmas 5am club protocol, but hated the book. Using.Atomic habits, i am on day 29 of getting up at 5am, exercise 20 min, meditation 20 min and learning 20 min. Once I understood sharma's protocol, i used atomic habits to actually make it happen.

This is by far and I mean by far the best author on habits. Clear and concise. I read his book 12 months ago as couldn’t be motivated to The gym. I am totally transformed by remaining consistent and understanding the 1% rule. Even though you can’t see it happening daily I would normally lose motivation. Just never give up. I continually go back to the book as it is so inspiring for me.

His advice about tracking your progress with an X on the calendar each day (borrowed from Jerry Seinfeld) is key. It’s the same way to gamify progress that Duolingo uses. It works for me!

“If you can change your habits, you can change your life..”👏🏽

[@MsNutan]

Summary: a. Noticing - People think they lack motivation, when in fact they lack clarity. b. Wanting - Environment plays a role. Create environment for you to succeed in your goal. c. Doing - Optimize for the start line, not finish line. d. Liking what you do - We repeat behaviors, because we like them.

[@davegibbs6423]

Thank you.

[@hyxn]

Why did I read this in Yoda’s voice

[@SimGunther]

Also, identity change is key. Ex: don't say "I'm gonna read lots of books", say "I am a reader". This makes setting goals not seem rigid and it'll make it easier to mold daily habits based on personal preference of certain materials.

[@rajaking2789]

Exactly!!

Focus on systems instead of end goals, this was the best advice I ever heard, and these are the pieces of advices you can get from this book, although, I love the way the author is structuring the book, when you've to go through a summarize after each chapter.

[@AK-ct8bb]

This theory has been discussed in Bhagwad Geeta A Hindu holy book as "Law of KARMA" where lord Krishna says to Arjuna ( who was indecisive regarding participating in the war against evil as many members of his own family were there in evil group). Krishna says a Mantra "Karmaney wadhikaraste ma faleshu Kadachna..... which says focus on your "karma" means your duty not on the "fal"- the fruits.....which may follow automatically n those are not in the domain of your rights. Such an amazing theory! relevant even today n described in the book "The Atomic habbits" by this author so well.

The way he explains is simply fantastic and how' atomic habits' has changed my life is unbelieveable i cant explain that...

[@susanbordson703]

I like how he approaches motivation. We often think we need to wait until we're "motivated enough" to move forward in a positive direction. Or wait until fear about taking action dissipates. In reality, doing anything that nudges us in the right direction--no matter how small the act or step--is a way to nurture the growth of more motivation and gain more courage. 5:05 is an awesome quote: "The actions that you take provide evidence for who you are." It's another way of saying the old truth "actions speak louder than words".

[@mohamedorayith4626]

I struggle to understand that.. Give me two or three examples on little changes you mentioned that seem trivial and small but are huge ?

WOW; I say things like this to myself everyday; but, for some reason cannot put them into motion! Prayerfully, after this snippet information from Mr. Clear I will be better; Thank you!

[@arnoldmarcus3634]

This is one of the most concise deliveries of the cornerstone to changing your behaviors, your confidence, and your internalized identity that I’ve seen. I’ve studied the published science around behavior change and influence, including the psychology of sales, persuasion, and performance. James Clear has distilled the foundational principles of them here. The train goes both ways however. If you act a certain way, you will see yourself as that way, and Vice versa, if you see yourself a certain way, you will act that way. It’s congruence between identity and action where we feel comfortable. But to change you have to go through the discomfort of misalignment between actions and identity. And the only way to make this bearable is to start small, and as you act, or think, your identity and actions will shift to becoming who you want to be. Confidence will build, and the discomfort will go away.

[@rfcalm]

Thank you for being clear, Clear

"If you can change your habits you can change your life". But if you are really struggling to change your habits, don't despair - you are not broken, and I know things can get better. I don't know your situation, but mine was that I needed safe connection (for me it was therapy, though it could be anyone, even pets) to start to discover who I am and to break out of the cycle of anxiety and low self-esteem from years of playing the golden-child role. For so long I thought I was broken, because no matter how hard I pushed I couldn't even do two minutes of a habit I wanted, but now that I'm more healed I've returned to habits. I make my bed every morning. I tidy up before bed. Small habits, but I'm just getting started again.
