By understanding your habits and identifying their triggers, you’ll gain the power to rewire your routines and create a life aligned with your goals.

Building new habits doesn’t require perfection—it requires small, consistent steps. In the beginning, discipline and effort are key, but over time, habits become automatic. This lesson shows you how to reduce friction by breaking habits down into the simplest actions, creating a clear plan, and tracking your progress.

To make your habits last, they need a deeper connection to your long-term vision and purpose. This lesson teaches you how to anchor habits to your bigger goals, reflect on your progress daily, and make necessary adjustments.

Simple steps like scheduling habits and setting non-negotiable morning and evening routines can build powerful momentum. With the right structure, your habits become the fuel that drives your daily progress and long-term growth.
