How to Make New Habits Stick

How to Make New Habits Stick

In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, I explore why bad habits seem to stick like Velcro while good ones slide off like Teflon. Starting the new year with aspirations to build better routines can be challenging, but I share four practical strategies to make your new habits stick using the acronym FEAD.

FEAD stands for:

• Force: Use cues and accountability to create momentum, such as laying out workout clothes the night before or working out with a friend.
• Eliminate: Remove distractions and hurdles that derail your progress—like keeping your phone out of the bedroom or locker.
• Automate: Integrate tools or systems that prompt action, such as apps, fitness classes, or training schedules.
• Delegate: Enlist others to help keep you accountable, whether that’s a personal trainer or someone turning off the office lights at a set time.

These tips are designed to help you feed your new habits, making them easier to adopt and maintain. By implementing this framework, you can move closer to your goals with greater ease and consistency.
