THE HABIT STACKING FORMULA:

"AFTER (CURRENT HABIT, I WILL (NEW HABIT)"
Exercise. When I see a set of stairs, I will take them instead of using
the elevator.
Social skills. When I walk into a party, I will introduce myself to
someone I don't know yet.
Finances. When I want to buy something over 100 dollars, I will wait
24 hours before purchasing.

Healthy eating. When I serve myself a meal, I will always put
veggies on my plate first.
Minimalism. When I buy a new item, I will give something away.
(one in, one out)
Mood. When the phone rings, I will take one deep breath and smile
before answering.

THE HABIT STACKING FORMULA:

"AFTER (CURRENT HABIT, I WILL (NEW HABIT)"

Gratitude. After I sit down to dinner, I will say one thing I'm grateful
for what happened that day.
Marriage. After I get into bed at night, I will give my partner a kiss.
