“It has to become a habit, so it's part of your identity — not another thing to do on your already busy schedule.”
–Ronnie Loaiza
40% of your day is made up of habits. What do your habits add up to? The good news is you can morph a bad habit into a good habit, or you can create a new habit. Habit Coach Ronnie Loaiza shows us how habits serve us better than hacks.
When you are creating a habit, work on one thing at a time. Creating a habit is about creating part of your identity. It starts to feel weird if you don’t do something. Ronnie shows us how habits can stick without getting us stuck in rigidity.
And you can create new habits at any stage of life … it’s not too late for you.
We talk about:
- Starting with times you felt fulfilled when you are thinking about purpose or what’s next
- Living what you love to do
- Committing to and declaring your purpose — whatever actually doing it looks like
- Starting with the lowest most minimal thing you will stick with
- Being set in your ways but not being stuck there
- Taking away things that hinder you and adding in things that support you in new habits

DOABLE CHANGES
At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is how change happens.
Often we feel like our actions have to be huge to match the bigness of our desires, but we have seen over and over and over again that the little things add up. By stacking up a series of Doable Changes, you will create that big change that you crave. Choose the one that really resonates with you this week and really make it part of your life.
Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation:
- SET YOUR MINIMUM. Set the very minimum you will do. One glass of water. Five minutes of exercise. One line in your journal. Starting with a minimum makes it easier to do the thing while you are getting used to it. Then even when the habit is created, when something happens to take you out of it, you can keep the muscle strong by doing the minimum.
- CREATE A SUCCESS ZONE. When you are trying to set a new habit, take away things that will get in your way and add in things that will...
