if you're waking up every single morning
ha in your life dreading the day ahead
and then spending the entire day playing
catchup just to do it all again tomorrow
then congratulations you are in the
right place prepare to break the cycle
right now these are the five mour habits
that have completely flipped my life
around from a girl living in North Wales
struggling to get the Graze that she
needed to a whole fraking doctor working
in London somehow with Financial Freedom
that she has gained from social media
these aren't just the habits that have
allowed me to create a life that I love
on paper but they will also make sure
that you love every single second no
matter how hard that you're working not
only that I want you to leave this video
with a structure in place so if there's
any habit that you ever want to start
ever you have the tools to implement it
yourself without any help from me and if
I have achieved that my friends then
this video has been a success habit
number one to change your life right
here right now is the gratitude group
chat if we're having a conversation
about Chang in lives in any way shape or
form Law of Attraction and manifestation
is going to come up at some point if
you're unfamiliar with the two terms
that have engulfed the entirety of
social media for the past few years then
let me tell you what Google says the law
of attraction is the new thought
spiritual belief that positive or
negative thoughts bring positive or
negative experiences into a person's
life now when you put it like that that
makes complete sense but I think a lot
of the social media posts that you about
manifestation take a slightly different
form so when it comes to manifestation
or law of attraction I like to look at
it through two separate lenses lens
number one the supernatural lens I
remember watching the secret which is
the book SL film that I think initiated
the big social media interest in
manifestation and Law of Attraction and
when I was watching it there is a person
on it who claims that they manifested a
parking space in front of
them now I want you to look at
manifestation and Law of Attraction
through the second lens the
psychological lens you have to have
lived on a rock your entire life to not
understand that if you are positive and
if you are a good energy to be around
then more people will want to be around
you thus opening up more doors for you
thus opening more opportunities
ultimately making it more likely that
you're going to be able to live the life
that you want common sense but
manifestation and Law of Attraction are
is slippery slippery slippery slow
because I think that they capitalize on
people when they are at their weakest
and most vulnerable about 3 years ago
when I was probably at my weakest and my
most vulnerable basically the entirety
of my Tik Tok was people writing things
that they wanted to happen on paper and
sleeping on them underneath their pillow
saying that that would make it more
likely that it would happen and even
though in the back of my head I knew
that scientifically there's not much
evidence to back up any of those claims
I still watched every single one because
of the state of mind I was in at that
time not only do I think that some Laur
of Attraction and manifestation ideas
are exploitative I also think that they
kind of take the responsibility off our
own actions but I digress slightly I
want to go back to the psychological
lens we need to answer the big question
how can we bring more positivity into
our life enter the Gratitude group chat
this my friends is a group chat that I
have with my nearest and dearest where
every single day we put a message into
the group chat saying three things that
we are grateful for this group chat has
just meant that not only me but also Al
the friends that I'm in this group chat
with notice the small stuff again that
we' spent so many years not even
acknowledging now is the best bit which
will set this habit video away from
every single other one that you've ever
watched I promise we going to take this
habit and we are going to fit it into
the Habit Loop so that you have a worked
example of how to use the Habit Loop in
your own life or if you want to be my
guest and steal one of these habits for
yourself then work away stage one of the
Habit Loop this is the Q the queue is
all about making it obvious making what
obvious I hear you ask the Habit making
the Habit obvious there is a certain
Corridor that I walk through on my way
to work and it is the last Corridor
before I need to put my phone away and
be a doctor and because of this I always
associate that Corridor with messaging
in my gratitude group chat step two of
The Habit Loop is the craving to make it
attractive it really isn't that hard to
make speaking to your friends attractive
that's quite a nice thing but when we
think about this habit specifically
speically in comparison to say if you
were trying to do a gratitude Journal
where that would involve you just
writing your gratitudes down the
ridiculously simple element of turning
it into a group chat immediately makes
it so much more fun and attractive and
enjoyable because it's an excuse to
speak to your friends at the same time
three response make it easy sending a
message on a group chat is not exactly
curing World diseases but again imagine
if I'd committed to doing this habit by
phoning my friends or emailing my
friends or even on this group chat we
had said that each grateful has to have
a full explanation and Story Time all
about why that is your grateful to
justify why you are grateful for it that
would make it so much harder and that's
way less that we would all stick to it
some days my three grateful are sunshine
sunshine and sunshine and no one tells
me off for it simple switches that you
may have completely overlooked are the
key to making habits stick the final
step of the Habit Loop for reward make
it satisfying now if I like someone's
grateful on that group chat I will will
usually react with a heart but on the
other hand if anyone forgets to do their
grateful we will call them out for it on
the chat which is kind of the opposite
of a reward next morning habit that has
completely changed my life is front
loading my nutrition it has taken me a
pretty long time but I'd say I've 80%
healed my relationship with food and my
body and I have breakfast every single
day the morning habit of front loading
my nutrition and having a smoothie every
single day has completely revolutionized
my life and I can hear you already
smoothies these aren't real food
smoothies are full of sugar but guys I
saw a Daily Mail article probably not
the most reliable of source however 86%
of British people skip breakfast more
shockingly half of them start the day
with a bag of
crisps I have been in a lot of
situations where I am rushing out the
door in a hurry which is why I love a
smoothie so much and I'm a firm believer
in how you start your day sets the tone
for the rest of the day so a smoothie is
how I love to frontload my nutrition if
you lived by yourself or even just with
one other person you will understand how
hard it is to buy the right amount of
groceries every week and not let food go
to waste especially fresh produce so my
smoothies in the morning are basically
improvised every single day with what
I've got lying around but there are
three ingredients that are a staple in
every single one of my smoothies to make
them more nutritious to keep me full for
longer and to keep the sugar content a
little bit lower Greek yogurt for
protein cette for creaminess and to get
in a vegetable nice and early and then I
also use the ag1 green powder as well
green powders are absolutely not
essential guys but when I'm about to go
in to work for a 12-hour shift and I may
not get a chance to eat a proper meal
throughout the day I like just adding a
green powder in as a little bit of a
safety net to make sure that I'm getting
the vitamins I need so how have I made
this habit stick I hear you ask one the
queue this one's easy I wake up I walk
out of my room and I see my kitchen
simple changes like having my fruit bowl
or blender on the counter on display so
remind me what fresh produce I've got
line about and that I need to make my
smoothie can make a big difference two
the craving my smoothies taste bloody
good three the response how we make it
easy oats are another amazing breakfast
but even if you prep them overnight
there's still a lot more extra steps
than just chucking whatever you've got
in the fridge into a blender and hoping
for the best my smoothie takes me Max 5
minutes in the morning and if I'm
running really late I can take it with
me to drink on my commute number four
the reward it tastes good and I start my
day off knowing that I have fueled my
mind my body and my soul habit number
three that has flipped my life on its
head morning movement don't turn off now
guys I know everyone hates to hear this
but exercise is so much more than losing
weight exercise literally makes you
smarter when you exercise that increases
blood flow then more blood goes to your
brain brain smarter isn't that wonderful
and if you have ADHD there was a study
that found that 60 minutes of exercise
could be as effective as a low dose of
rling why is it so important to exercise
in the morning well my friends not only
does it set the tone for the rest of
your day because you've already achieved
something before you've even got
yourself to work and it improves your
concentration and productivity but it
also means that you've got it out the
way and you do not need to rely on your
discipline that will inevitably wne
later on during the day it's not getting
done after work however if exercise was
not hard enough getting up an hour
earlier to exercise can seem like it's
virtually impossible but do not fear I
have a habit Loop to help number one the
Quee how are we going to make it obvious
leaving a workout set laid out ready to
go as soon as you wake up along with
maybe your trainers or if you use your
phone as an alarm you could label your
alarm as work out so immediately when
you wake up you see your alarm you know
it's time to go or choose a gym that is
visible to you on your commute to and
from work so every single day you're
reminded oh maybe I should go to the gym
tomorrow or finally if you use a workout
app make sure that you have push
notifications set on so you
automatically get a reminder if it is a
day that you should be training to
craving how can we make it attractive
the million dooll question how can I
make myself want to exercise I'm not one
to encourage spending money willy-nilly
but if there is one thing that will get
me out the door to the gym it's the of a
cute workout set and my favorite songs
playing through my ears there are so
many small simple changes you can make
to sweeten the deal and get yourself to
the gym I recently got myself some
shocks open air fit which are the
leading open air earphones and oh my
Lord Almighty they are so ridiculously
comfy thanks to their lovely teardrop
shaped cross-section that minimizes
pressure you can see better if I pop
them in my ears the homic dual bevel
design moves the center of gravity close
to your ear to create a lighter than air
feeling when you're exercising they are
also the least faf earphones that I have
ever owned and guys I ran a half
marathon in February the earbuds that I
used for that half marathon were
constantly slipping out my ear the
entire way at one point I literally took
them out and put them in my bra because
they were so annoying in the middle of a
half marathon which is not what you want
at all my shocks on the other hand have
memory alloy which keeps them nice and
snug in place and I don't have to worry
about them also when I'm editing on my
laptop and maybe I want to look at
something on my phone I don't have to
connect reconnect because amazingly you
can have two devices paired at the same
time I think spending money on things
that are going to make a habit more
enjoyable is not only a good way to make
it more attractive but I think it's also
making a monetary commitment to yourself
to solidify that habit into your routine
increasing the likelihood that you're
actually going to stick to it so if you
would like to buy your own own shocks
open Fit air then I will leave a link
down below and thank you shocks for
sponsoring this video and the gift of
never having to worry about my earphones
coming out of my ear halfway through a
half marathon again Bo number three the
response how do we make exercising
easier pick an exercise that fits
seamlessly into your routine whether
that is cycling to work or switching
meeting up with friends for a Pates
class or making sure that you pick the
gym that is most convenient to you
choose the path of least resistance
because exercise is hard enough to do
anyway for the reward how do we make
morning movement satisfying simple
always document it nothing is too small
to stra whether it is the distance you
ran the pace the weights that you lifted
or the lady who recorded her labor as a
workout on straa document what you have
done because as much as we would hope
that the endorphins that we get from
exercise would be enough of a reward in
themselves it's it's important to
acknowledge every single goal or
achievement that we hit when we're
exercising to give it the most chance of
sticking earlier this year my friend
asked if I wanted to do a half marathon
and she lives in Edinburgh I thought it
would be a good excuse to see her so I
said yes but every single time I went on
any training run I basically spent the
entire training run thinking to myself
how I was vowing that I would never ever
ever agree to run a half marathon again
fast forward to approximately 10 minutes
after passing the finish line and I was
asking everyone who fancied putting
their name down for the London marathan
ballet do not underestimate the power of
acknowledging your achievements even if
it is as silly as someone putting a
plastic metal around your neck this
neck's habit guys I cannot undersell it
enough because it's easily the one
that's made the biggest difference in my
life and it's one that I have been
trying to do for honestly years and
years and years The Habit is not going
on my phone for the first hour when I
wake up and I cannot explain how much of
an achievement this was for me because
as sad as this is about to sound I used
to sleep with my phone under my pillow
honestly makes me cringe so much now my
phone used to be the first thing that I
would go on every single day the first
thing I would reach for and if we think
about how much the morning sets the tone
for the rest of our day going on my
phone as the first thing meant that
anytime I faced any difficulty
throughout the rest of the day maybe
it's procrastination or struggling with
a task the first thing I would reach for
would be my phone now the cue for this
habit actually starts the night before
when I am going to bed I start to get
tired I go to put my phone on charge
when enter the craving in all the other
examples I've talked about how to make a
habit attractive but the craving step
can also work in the opposite direction
if you are trying to implement a habit
that is just not sticking this is where
I want you to turn see here my friends
my humble desk would you believe me if I
told you that this was the key to
overcoming the temptation of a late
night Tik Tok scroll my desk has a
drawer and then behind the drawer there
is a very handy little hole with cables
to keep the cables organized to get two
said cables and of set up the cable
station down the back of my desk I have
to remove this drawer not just take out
I have to remove it that is incredibly
fuffy I decided because this was my desk
and often I would need that same cable
to charge other items on my desk I would
keep it in this place that is incredibly
inconvenient to move it away from thus
if I wanted to charge my phone I would
either have to remove that cable every
single night to plug it in by my bed and
then plug it in back to my desk the next
day or I could just leave my phone at my
desk thus I didn't make it any more
attractive I just made it more of a
hassle and that was enough deterrent for
me to continue to charge my phone my
desk number three the response how do we
make it easy so you're me and you've
just woken up and I haven't reached for
my phone how do I continue to not reach
for my phone well when I wake up in the
morning I try and do about an hour's
work before going into work that is how
I make life tick over when I'm trying to
work two jobs my phone is conveniently
placed behind my laptop screen so when I
sit down to do that work the Temptation
is not staring me in the face number
four reward how do we make it satisfying
well firstly when the hour is over I get
to go on my phone which as much as I've
tried to overcome the addiction I have
to my phone I do still look forward to
the first time that I get to look on it
the other reward is the superiority
complex I have from telling my friends
that I no longer sleep with my phone
under my pillow final habit guys then
you are free to go off and do as you
please commute conversations I live in
London which is approximately 7 hours
away from my home in North Wales which
means that I don't get to see my family
as much as I would like but in my last
rotation myself and my mom got into a
habit of calling each other whilst we
were both driving into work and it
really got me thinking about the concept
of rate limiting steps and also how much
time is wasted on our commu to work so I
did some research the average commute in
EU countries is approximately 30 minutes
an hour a day about 5 hours a week 20
hours a month and a whopping two 240
hours in a year which is 10 whole days
to put that into perspective a quick not
necessarily reliable Google search told
me that it takes authors about 50 to 100
hours to write their first draft of a
novel in your morning commute you could
literally write an entire novel and
still have time left over stop seeing
your commute as dead time but see it as
a rate limiting step that can be
utilized that book that you've been
meaning to read get the audio version
and stick it on on the car or maybe the
job that you hate that you're commuting
to use that hour to start your side
hustle or plan your Escape you could
learn how to invest or I used to cycle
to work until my bike was stolen because
I realized that for an extra five or 10
minutes I could get in my daily exercise
and make the most of the time that I was
going to spend commuting anyway this all
may come across as a little bit toxic
productivity like can we not enjoy a
single moment of our life that isn't
spent doing something productive and
fine I completely agree but I don't know
many people who don't begrudge their
morning commute so how do we make these
productive habits that we are going to
start in our commuting time stick I hear
you ask number one the queue well that
is the easiest queue ever because you
literally just get in your car train bus
and you go to work craving how to make
it attractive for the example I Ed for
calling my mom this is super easy
because I love to call my mom and car
Journeys are boring and sometimes I have
decision paralysis about the type of
music I want to put on and if there's a
habit that you want to start in your
morning commute and you're struggling to
think of any ideas for the Habit Loop
then leave them down below and we can
try and help each other create foolproof
habit Loops so that all your habits
stick three the response make it easy
again I just hit call and I call my mom
in the car but if say you want to do
something like start a book as much as I
wouldn't suggest that the notes app on
your phone is the productivity tool of
the century it's the simplest and most
easy to access and incredible for just
jotting down IDE with minimal friction
number four the reward a habit tracker
it's amazing that simply checking
something off a habit tracker every
single day is enough of a silly little
dopamine kick to fool our brains into
satisfaction here is a video you may
also enjoy about my habit system and if
you would like to see a little bit more
of my life then this is a recent vlog
that you might enjoy thank you so so so
much for watching I hope you have a
wonderful wonderful wonderful week and I
