41. How tweaking your habits makes you a better decision maker

Here’s a question for all you Habit Thrivers: What is a habit? A habit is simply a decision or series of decisions that are repeated on a regular basis until they become automatic and become a habit. These habits come together to form our routines. Picture what you do every morning. Without even thinking about it, you might: have a cup of coffee shower cleanse and moisturize your face brush your teeth take the dog out for a walk open curtains to let the morning sun in Not only do you do these same things each morning, you probably do them at the same time and in the same order. These habits all form your morning routine. This week on Episode #41 - and the month of April - on the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are talking about Shaking Up Our Spring Habits. So start by thinking of some ways that you can tweak your morning routine: sort and organize your beauty products for easy, convenient access check the weather forecast the night before and lay out your clothes for the day purge your closet, drawers and cabinets to eliminate unwanted and unused items that can clutter your space and get in the way Each little tweak to your routine aids in reducing decision fatigue and freeing up brain power for the bigger decisions in the day. And this practice extends to not just your morning routine, but any part of your daily life such as grocery shopping and meal planning, paying bills, night routines, preparing for a vacation, or planning a get-together. Any time you notice that your changes make you feel better and make your routine more efficient, do a little happy dance! You will find that improved habits and routines can bring more ease to your life, which will lead to more time for the awesome stuff! Lorrie xoxox Loving the show? Let’s connect!
