Definition of Habits & Correlation of Habits to Success: Welcome to the hybrids masterclass. And in this lesson I'm going to share with you the meaning of habits. And habits play a rule of success in your life or not. To define how is these are repeated behaviors which you end up doing automatically when the situation arises, even if you're not consciously concentrating to do a particular task. One of the most followed spiritual glue, the Verlander partner, GCS habits can be very, very strong. She sees this by saying if you remove edge from Hubbard, still arbitrary means, even if you remove a still remains, even if you remove Bree, it still it remains. If you wanted to really, really change your life, you need to change your habits. Let me share a wonderful story with you before we move any further. In 2015 in an ICC men's Cricket World Cup, England lost to Bangladesh, one of the lowest rank teams by 14 runs in the group stage. They also lost to their art drivers Australia who has been done them by 114 runs and by New Zealand, the laws by nine records, which led to England losing their chance to even qualify from the group stages, let alone making to the top and qualifying for CMEs and finals. Just to let you know, England is where the sport called Cricket took both from the aorta 1975. There have been ten additions of the ODI. Welcome, but they have never won this point. And Bangladesh, which is one of the Lewis rank deep, has beaten them in 2015, that left a huge dent donating on their preparations, on the attitude, huge acne, disappointment, they will never forget. After all, they have only been among the three major credit rating nations, apart from South Africa and New Zealand, who failed to win that coveted trophy to do 1015, in the words of their cap. Then after losing to Bangladesh in 2015 volt cup, he said, unbelievably disappointing. I'm gutted at the moment. No idea what will happen from you. What the England board did after that was amazing. They made drastic changes in their side. The director of particulate quote, genes, they replace their head coach after the loss and the captain was the same. But he had a vision that they lead more aggressive players and an aggressive mindset counter, but more fuel is their new code said they need to change an attitude for the needed players who can consistently hit six says, home runs as they say in the baseball, they caused all players too bad aggressively, repeatedly every single day. Each of their players in the team battered aggressively practiced by adding aggressively bean, which was earlier not the case. There was filled earlier. The fear of loss. Cricket Board increased players not feasible whiteboard cricket, which is the audio, woke up and said performance-based measures for back to obey, to give their players a sense of financial security. The entire board which was governing the players, made changes, changes in their attitude and in the player's mind starting with small changes by including the PHA promoting players who play aggressively and fearlessly, accepting the downside that there will be days where they lose out big, but they focused on building a solid foundation. Fuel is players who can repeatedly hit from the word go when they're out there on the cricket pitch. With all these small changes in their habits, in their mindset and repeated practice of hitting balls outside the park. And not only defeated Bangladesh and sought revenge in the next World Cup, which was in 2019, but went on to become Venus, which they had never been from 4040 years. The climax in that world covers even though the scores were dyed in the final match for the two teams, they went on to be the winner is based on more boundaries coordinate night. They would have listeners because they hit more sixes and forests for their aggressive Intel. Habits from not believing in themselves, being a bit defensive in their approach was overhauled with their little improvements every single day by a change in a positive attitude, being more, fewer or less and attaching a reward for being fearless. Not only did they win the World Cup in 2019, but during those four years, they went on to score the highest runs in the history of ODA aggregate, which has never happened from 300 years from when cricket started. That doesn't mean England never lost after 2015. But they increase their chances of winning. Keeping in mind, they're going to fail to be aggressive. But they replied, What is that? They have to build it consistency. These words really changes little improvements done repeatedly to make data hub it can compound to unprecedented success in life. However, to apply these little changes that serves you individually in a productive way, there is a principle. It's very important that we list down our daily habits, identify and know them in the first place and classify them. Whether they serve you are not going to share great insight to secrets in the upcoming lesson. But before that, in the next lesson, I'll help you list on your daily habits starting from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed. That is a super essential step before you paint them on making successful changes in your habits. 4. The Real Activity : Listing Down Habits: Welcome to the habits masterclass. And in this lesson I'm going to share with you the very important step of listing down your daily habits may seem not so important to list them down right now, but believe me, they still four-step to change to notice how these little daily habits are linked to the compound success or failure, you'll get two to three years down the line. What you can do is close your eyes. Think of yesterday and start from the time you woke up. What did you do the first thing when you woke up? The very first thing. If I were to speak of me, I thank God for another day. He has given me. And I said the daily information which has planted right ahead on the void where I sleep, which is today is one of the best days of my life. And this is one of the beautiful affirmation which I say every single day. After that, I checked my mobile phone immediately and I removed all the notifications and then I went to the washroom with my phone. Yes, with my phone. I bought a playlist of worship songs and remember God and the blessings he has bestowed on me. After I came from washroom, I mean my bed and then m rows and then I had fruits. After that, I went to Howard, had breakfast while watching some YouTube videos on cricket, which as you know, is one of my favorite spot. Then I started my day with my office work, continued that for eight to nine hours in-between, I had snack break from five from Ford PM2.5 PM. Then for an odd after work or during the gap in-between the working hours itself, I go for a walk and have another set of worship songs played, which usually are the same songs which I have been hearing from the last three to four months. I also think a lot about my business during the walk and the causes which I have to design. And after that I finished my official ours. Then I watch a show called Shark Tank India, which is based on entrepreneurship or an art. During that time we have our family dinner as well. And after the lecture, I usually spend time on my postnatal development phase. Reading for my clients are thinking about how to expand our wings in helping people for around three to four hours that can extend to two to 03:00 AM in the night. In-between that, I do watch an entertaining a crash investigation for 40 minutes or something, snack during that time of watching at night and when I really sleep, I put on the bug would guitar lessons which tc, which teaches the way to live your life. These are spiritual lessons by Swami cellular prion and from YouTube and I sleep listening to that. So here is how my entire day sheets. So this has been repeated for quite some time now. Now, I want you to list out your daily activities without judging them to be good or bad at this moment, as I have listed them know, very, very honestly. Once you do it, you'll get to know a fair bit of what you have been doing and how do you spend your day? It'll be a fascinating discovery. You'll get to learn about your daily activities in the upcoming lesson, where I'll be introducing you to mark in your habits under Sharia, skirt or scar, that it helps you understand whether habit actually serves you or it doesn't serve you. I'm excited about the next lesson, but before proceeding to the next lesson, I want you to take a moment after this lesson and list on your habits in a notepad or in the laptop so that we can really work alongside the glass. 5. Classify your habits: Welcome to the habits masterclass. And in this lesson I'm going to share with you to classify your habits or daily activities into SRE or Skype or prayer scar. Before we start, let me tell you what is a Shari'a skirt and what is a Prescott stress skirt is the karmas or activities that are beneficial to you over the long-term. Previous curr is the activity that are pleasurable and cause immediate gratification, but are not successful over the long term. Having an apple for a breadth-first is a stress because it has good long-term health benefits on your body. Or if you are having a chocolate cookie for breakfast, if you're doing a prayer sphere, which is immediately satisfying your appetite, but it's not good for a long run on your body. Similarly, having green vegetables in your lunch is sqrt, and having burger in place of that is polyester, It's more pleasurable rate at that moment, watching **** is a prayer scale. What's his reading? A self-help book is a long-term benefit, which is a Shari'a scar, this classifier. Now, all your activities and the SRY eschar, that is the beneficial one or the prayers curve, that is the pleasurable one or neutral. So here is the list of my daily activities which I have already shared in the last lesson. And I'm going to classify them into SRE, R-square, prayer skirt or neutral. I'll write D that a brief abbreviates to beneficial for Shri eschar. I read B that abbreviates pleasurable for prayer skirt, and then write n if it's a neutral and or have impact. Here are my daily activities and now I classify them into BB or first activity, which is the waking up and tanking void is a B, it's beneficial one, right? Then I checked my mobile phone app notification when I wake up. And that is a P. It's pleasurable to see what all has come, but it's definitely not good. Listening to worship songs is a B, which is good mental food for my mind, but also have a habit of watching my course reviews immediately in the morning during that time, which is, which is an N, I think because it's not required at that moment, but I end up doing it. Making my bed after the washroom is a B, because it lets me be disciplined and clean. Brushing is of course a B, having fruits or is also be having breakfast generally, I do eat healthy breakfast, which is of course be. But watching videos while having breakfast. It's pleasurable because it gets me entertain. It somehow trains my mind to multitask and have breakfast. Only when I play videos. I do struggle at times to do breakfasts with my family and not watch videos when they are eating with me. That definitely has to do with my bad habit, right? Working for my office is definitely a B. But in-between that, when I check mobile for notification that's going for a walk is a B because it has positive impacts on my health. Watching Shark Tank India is a B, I would say. It does get me entertain and delighted for our short-run. It does not have that long-term impact on my on my career side as well. Working on my personal stuff face reading is a B because it grows me and my brand. But watching an air crash investigation every night is a p. And along with that, the habit of snacking at one or 02:00 PM is a big, big P in my life, Listening to guitar lessons is a B because it helps me grow my wisdom and let my head been a good space. Now, as you have seen, my daily activities classify your activities into B, which is for beneficial and long-term benefits. P, which is for pleasurable and stands for immediate gratification and short-term benefits for a neutral activity. Be deadly honest with your classification. Once done, put a yellow color, any color of your liking on all the PPE activities from your day. And those are really the ones on which you have to work on. You believe you have to change to have a positive impact and long-term success in your life. Those are the areas where you can really work upon. Give this list with you at this moment, because it's the first step towards identifying. And it's going to help us when we learn how to break or change bad habits in our photo sections. In the next lesson, I'm going to share with you a short lesson on read these and some scholars, which will help you answer how inactivity becomes part of your routine. And via an activity gets into a BOP soon. You'll get to new or Vedanta insight and you'll also get a route of how a habit is formed before we March on to learn the science and components of habit in further sections. 6. Understanding Vrittis & Samskaras: Welcome to the habits masterclass. And in this lesson, I'm going to share with you quickly the meaning of read these and some scholars and how they play a significant role in designing your habits. Read these is a Sanskrit word which refers to thoughts you have in your head. And some scholars, it's your subconscious mind which is fueled through your purities. This means thoughts that are repeated more often goes into your subconscious mind. And that's how you basically respond or react to your daily activities. Let me share a story of my dad here to further clarify. My dad and his childhood was not physically strong because of various health issues. He has to go through. His school friends used to bully him, seeing him week and they used to tell me and him alone. Every other person in a school that is standard ten used to be like that. Listening to those words, thoughts again and again, he wanted to prove a point to everybody. He wanted to let others believe that he is strong, but somehow there was that lack belief that was cultivated unknowingly within a subconscious to refer repetitions. He actually went to the gym afterwards, made himself stronger after his tenth standard and was really in the face of anyone who said any bad thing to him. The strength and aggression later went onto the point where he was so furious and audio issues that he ended up fighting with a policeman at 1 and even took his pistols away. The lab belief was so inherently in greened from his childhood that now often it happens that he gets a dream where he sees people fighting with him in a dream. And I get shocked listening to those where it says he makes during sleep. It's not to say that it is good or bad. It is to say that when you read these, which is your thoughts, when they're repeated continuously, they develop an engrained belief within you, which comes out from your subconscious mind. That is the sum SCOTUS. So often it happens in his 20s that when he sees someone say a bad word or abuse him, his first reaction was to punch him and knocked him off. It was never a weight or being patient, it was always knocking them off. And that's what he has repeatedly cultivated as his habit of responding to people who say bad word for him or who don't agree to him at that point. Although now he has become a more patient person because he has not worked consciously towards changing that. Those thoughts still play in his mind, in his dreams as I shared. What I'm trying to make a point here is notice all the PRB activities in your day that you do to shape your behavior. They give board to reteach, that is the thoughts in your heads and mine. And when they are repeated consistently, they become your son Scott hours, which means they go into your subconscious and becomes your habit. What quality of thoughts you're cultivating when you're watching the news channel, or do when you're watching ****. Or let's see if I have a habit of watching Air crash investigation consistently. What quality of thoughts on cultivating and actually cultivating towards that when I get into an airplane crashed, or I may have fewer thought when I next board on to the next plane. These are very subtle things which seems to play their role without you even realizing and knowing them. So at this moment, as you now know the British and some scholars, you can now better understand how our habit is formed. And for all the classification you have done for their activities, whatever it is and some scholars you have cultivated for your mind. In the next lesson, I'm going to share with you as well, modern psychology, the signs of habits, which is going to be a revolution for you. Let's meet in the next lesson. 7. Decoding Habits: Welcome to the Hubbert's masterclass. And in this lesson, I'm going to share with you the science of habits. Why do habit stick and vital? We have habitual tendencies. Brain consumes 20% of the whole body energy, and it has become smart and efficient to conserve energy. And it doesn't want to spend the same energy doing repetitive things. The cerebrum located inside the brain performs complex cognitive functions. And venerable, you're exposed to learning something new. The steady broom helps you with its understanding, but it takes extra energy for it to function. So for example, right now I'm really learning to drive. But after the driving session I feel a lot drained and out of energy because my cerebellum is involved in learning the new skill. But when that same action is performed repeatedly, it goes to the center of the brain in basal ganglia, which requires less mental activity and less energy. When activity gets into basal ganglia, it then becomes a reaction or kind of a trend or a conditioned response. When I see good drivers of my friends driving comfortably with using phones and driving with one hand on the stewarding. I feel jealous of them, but at the same time they're driving activities is happening from basal ganglia, not cerebrum. I hope that I also teach us stage when the car driving seems as easy to me and I don't envy from my friends. Another example which I recall is imagine when you started learning how to ride a bicycle, it couldn't have been pretty difficult because your cerebrum was involved initially to understand the mechanics of balancing and pedaling. But once you were trained, you don't have to consciously paddle or focus on balancing. It happened automatically through basal ganglia. Once an activity gets into it, it becomes hard to dislodge. And that's why it's very, very difficult to remove bad habits. If you've wanted to unload to ride a bicycle, it would be very tough to do so because it's their Pune in your brain. When you want to make lifestyle changes or changes in your response. It stuff to do because they have not become part of your habit. Using a cliched example, if you want to wake up early in the morning and you have convinced your intellectual self with the thought that it's good for the body to wake up early and it has health benefit and it lowers down your cortisol levels. But when it is really five AM in the morning, then that same intellect puts you into sleep mode. Because even though you know it's good to wake up early when you are saying it is hard for you to fight against the outflow of habit which is sleeping at that point in time when it is 5M. Now that you know that changing habits, stuff, You must be pondering as to whether there really is a way to break bad habits. It won't be disappointing you because there is a way. But before that, let me break down the four components of habit, knowing which you'll learn to break down your activities into these components, which will definitely be helping you in changing your bad habits. And in the folder lesson, I'm going to share with you the reunify of strategies that you can use to break and remove bad average from your life. 8. Components of Habits: Welcome to the habits masterclass. And in this lesson, I'm going to share with you the components of habit, which is super important to understand before you really start to learn how you need to break bad habits or keep up with good habits. You have now got a fair idea of how a habit is formed through read these and some scholars in the previous lessons, let me share with you the four components of habits, Asbell modern psychology. And I'm going to reference James Clear on habits from his book, Atomic Habits as well. You can break down any activity you do repeatedly, which is your habit, into full components that is forced to skew. Second is craving, third is response and for this reward, so the q is a trigger point that lets you perform the activity. So for example, if you have a habit of continuously checking mobile notifications, the sound when the notification comes becomes your Q. Craving is a component of expectation or a perceived benefit that you think you will give after doing that activity. This means once you have got the mobile notification, thinking that whether that someone has liked the opposer commented on your post, we'll properly you to check your mobile phone and act on that notification. Response is the real action you take to put out the mobile phone from your pocket and click on that pop-up notification. The reward is the satisfaction which you feel after you really check that notification. In these four components, you can classify any activity that we have written down in our habits list. Let me give you one more example. Say you have a habit of watching a Netflix show at 09:00 PM every day? Your Q becomes the time. That means every day when it's nine PM, your mind will send signals to your brain saying that it's time to watch Netflix. That's your cue. That response is opening off Netflix app. And the reward is the satisfaction you get after watching that show. Craving is the porcine to benefit you will get after watching Narcos or money Heist or any issue it is there on the Netflix. Charles Duhigg, the habits expert says your cravings or your anticipation to get a reward is where your action becomes a true habit. And you're willing to do a routine to get the same reward, to really vote on the bad habits or keep the good habits. It's very important to break them down into these four components. I would advise you to put any of the activities from the habit list you've designed and break them down into these components dead honestly. Once you do that, will tinker with these four components in the section on how to break bad habits. In our further lessons, I'm very excited to share them. You 9. Changing Desired Identity: Break Bad Habits: Welcome to the harvest masterclass. From this section, you're going to learn five strategies you can use to remove bad average from your life. I'm going to reference seems kleos work from his book, Atomic Habits to lay down how you can really work on breaking down your bad habits. The first strategy which you can use is to work on your desired identity. Let me break it down. For the specialty you. What desired identity means is the post newborn to be. It's the emotional reason that pushes you to be the person you want to be. It begins with inculcating and environment the values of a person you really intend to be. Let me share it as you lay story to help you understand the strategy and how it really works. In the year 201112 without colleague who is a sports person and their Krakatoa was not a consistent Blair for the Indian cricket team. He loved at that point in time to free date with whatever food came his way. He was the guy who loves to bend your butter chicken. A lot of Chinese means gentlemen to labor, to re, bile goes in a lot of fried stuff. And he believed that then that he'll be able to burn out his calories when he play out on the park. He was 2040 years of age in 2013, on a normal day in front of the mirror, he saw himself with his belly out, lose body. And it was a moment of truth for him. The moment that changed his entire life from average to create. A moment of guilt where he thought that with his lifestyle and body, he cannot be a great spokesperson. He knew that he definitely can be an average sports person with that physique. But he realized that moment that took plea for the long term. And to be consistent, he has to be fed. He set a goal that he wants to be the first person in their team. And what he did was he changed what do the best, What's person in other spots do for maintaining fitness? He followed through wag Chaco, which the leading international tennis player who had the best body fat ratio, the best busy with grid and the audience and stamina. He wanted to be like him in fitness to be fit. He knew that he has to quit all the fried foods, all things which had been just on till now to be the best version of himself. Because that doesn't remain resembled with the person who is fit. You will strictly on a point di for two years with absolutely 0 decent food. Because he wanted to be that for this person. This person bites definition needs to be more controlled and organized in their food habits. It was tough for him during that phase to be with that habit, to keep up with that good habit. But after three years, he don't out to be his desired set, the desired for test person by changing his food habits. Not only that, from 2016, He has become the best player for the country for the next four years. And now he's currently captain of the Indian cricket team as of 2021. He has now set a benchmark for fitness and all Blair's are now looking up to him for thickness. He has not only changed himself, but has inspired millions of other cricketers to make fitness of priority for them. That's how you change your habits through your desired and identity. It's like if you wanted to be a person with better focus than that person will not get distracted by mobile phone notifications every now and then. That person would keep mobile phones or vary from them. It's the emotional part which probabilities you for change for the person you want to be, and how that person will behave for the activities or habits you're currently doing. If I were to share my example, I used to occasionally have alcohol till March of 2021 with my dad on weekends. During that phase, I was learning a lot about life from spirituality. The values are good person should have listening to guitar lessons and basically how to be a good and happy person in your life. I was in a streak of three to four months discovering the wisdom of Flav from great moms and reading the grid self-help books. And I realized at this moment that a person with good values, with a good sense of it's done with a good sense of spirituality, should not be consuming alcohol. That's what I taught at that moment, but still, I was consuming it. Later in a few days. I really thought that this was not the person I wanted to be. Nothing to say that having alcohol is good or bad. It's what I thought my value should be. If I wanted to be a split surely stronger and more self-controlled person, I've wanted to be the one with more self-control. Self-control person by definition, cannot just have once he sees alcohol or any drink for that matter. So think about what you want to become and what that person will do and what will be his or her values they wanted to keep to be done desired self. A person who wants to wake up in the morning and exercise and be fit will not be the one who's leaves late at night. That will not form part of where he or she wants to see himself. List down the bad habit you want to work on and think of value, want to see yourself and how your desired self will deal with the oncoming tablets that you are cultivating. Find that y-component and I bet that reputations of that thought and values of the desired person you intend to be. You can Volk on changing your bad habits. That's the number one strategy you can use. But before using that, I also want you to go through for those strategies because that will help you combine your current system with more efficacy. Let's discuss the second strategy you can use to break bad habits in the next lesson. 10. Make it Invisible : Break Bad Habits: Welcome to the Hubbert's masterclass. In this lesson, I'm going to share the second strategy to bring bad habits. James Clear in his book, Atomic Habits, has left phrase it as making it invisible. For example, if you want to study and prepare for tough exam three or four months from now, or you want to write your daily blog posts and you have got a habit of mindless browsing when you open Instagram or check notifications. What you can do to counter that bad habit is to keep your mobile phones away from you, or altogether in our different groups. It's like you're making your Q, which means your mobile phone disappeared or invisible in this case, for better focus at your work. I have also developed a hybrid of keeping my mobile phone in silent mode and keeping it behind my laptop so that I cannot see or hear any notifications while I'm doing any creative work. Unknowingly in the year 201314, I actually happen to use this strategy. I was in a phase where I liked the goal and things were complicated with her because there was so much into her. I just wanted to talk toward me every now and then. I read it for her texts to come on WhatsApp, repeating that same port, that chill message me has developed the habit of in expectation within me that every time I see my mobile, I'll have a message. This habit led me to suffer, as you may understand, that every time things may not go your way or the other person may not be interested in you as you think they should be and message you or call you. I was in a deep grief back then, not able to focus on my vocal anything because she was all the dame in my mind. But after going through a lot of disappointments in her not extinct domain or giving me time. What I did was I deleted WhatsApp from my mobile phone. Once I did it, I was not expecting that TO text welcome. As the app itself is not dead on my mobile phone. Believe me, that worked wonders. It was definitely a struggle for the first few days, but after a few days, I was more in tune with life and more in tune with what the President is offering to me. Unknowingly, I use this principle of make it invisible back then with James Clear has presented in his book, and I know that you would have also used somewhere in your life, but do know that principle really votes in breaking bad habits is remarkable. So if you've been on every snack or a chocolate cookie that is kept right in front of your eyes on your work. They will highlight in your refrigerator or where you cannot see it. By making it invisible or by dissipating it consciously, you are removing the Q that will prevent the creaming to get the perceived benefit. It's like you're not seeing the asteroid itself.

Changing Environment : Break Bad Habits: Welcome to the hybrids masterclass. In this lesson, I'm going to share the third strategy to break bad habits. This also reference from James Clear world very stresses the fact to change your environment designed to break bad habits. I have an uncle who is a real estate agent who has a habit of smoking seven to eight cigarettes every day, one day out of curiosity, I asked him finally, they get into smoking and really started this habit. And he said during his undergraduate days with his friends, which is generally the starting point of the smoking Jony. Whenever he used to come to our home, he used to have two to three cigarettes in an art itself while watching a movie at home. Until that point, I have never visited is because we have just newly met. But a peculiar and strange thing absorbed Once we will invite them to have lunch and dinner at his police on the same day. It was like a family get together for the whole day where we met with his parents and his family. He was very scared of his dad because his dad was very principled and he was also an army officer during that entirety when he was with us. He didn't have a single secret. And I was really amazing surprises to how he didn't consume any secret. Because I have always seen him from the last few months watching him, that he cannot be without a cigarette even for an hour. The next day when he came to her home, I asked him this question, why he didn't had any cigarettes when we visited his own? Believe me the answer will surprise you. He said that I respect my father. He doesn't smoke and so when I'm with him, I don't even get the odor cleaving to smoke that often. That's what rehabilitation centers have mastered doing that. The design, the environment in such a way that you are surrounded by sober people who wants to quit their bad habits involved time for the US soldiers. This fact was observed that the US soldiers who came back home didn't have cocaine or ODS to have poking once they're back home in their country. During what time with their friends to ease out their stress, they develop this habit. But once they were home, 90% of them didn't even feel the need. I have used a strategy to get rid of negative ports in my mind. In the year 2019. When I learned that what you see, what you creates, these are thoughts in your mind, then becomes your behavior and actions from your son Scott has, which is your subconscious? I was at least I was my whole day as to whatever was watching and listening to. I found that I was watching a lot of analysis and criticisms for the players of the spot. I loved watching from the morning of my routine. I was watching a lot of news channels back then that would have been fighting the bids and people blaming each other, criticizing the Prime Minister and the policies. And I was also watching WWE that has nothing but fight. So at discovered that when this behavior and my act of watching and listening is repeated every single day, in my mind, the fighting debates, the negativity from criticisms. I discovered that I was putting the mental food of negativity within my subconscious. And the first thought for whatever I saw, wonderful problem or difficulty in anything which I or are those two. It was like if I see the success of someone, I was trying to find faults in it. Instead of appreciating the success of a person. When I alone the reason for this from my spiritual gurus and greed, self-help books. It changed my entire routine and my life. I stopped watching all the YouTube channels which used to criticize and see a lot of negative stuff. I stopped watching news channels. In fact, my whole family doesn't watch the news channel now because I started back then, what I did was I replaced all those things with positive stuff. I started to listen to positive worship songs. I started with an affirmations are in the morning. I did watch the analysis of the sport I love, which is cricket, but it was not negative. Earlier I used to consume the content of everybody who used to make videos because I got entity. Now I become more conscious, selective of the mental food and putting in, I started reading self-help books and listening to guitar lessons more on YouTube than watching movies. You know what the environment which I designed consciously was stuff to adhere to initially. But when I followed that religiously, believe me, now have more positive thoughts. Now I see opportunities and blessings in my life than problems that has happened because I have consciously designed what is good for me and programmed my mind. If you are thinking to go for a jog early in the morning, put some iconic photographs of athletes in your room with the running shoes right beside your bed. By doing that, you're making the environment conducive to what you want to achieve. So see your environment. Is it the one that is keeping you with a bad habit? If not, design your environment in such a way that you are motivated to pursue a good habit and breed bad habit. The words of fun wise men, you are the average of five people you're surrounded with. I hope this strategy helps you in giving a few of how much your environment or society plays a role in the activities you do in your life. In the next lesson, I'm going to share another amazing strategy to break bad habits. So let's go ahead. 12. Creating Friction : Break Bad Habits: Welcome to the hybrids masterclass. In this lesson, I'm going to share the food strategy to break bad habits. And that is to create mod friction in executing your bad habit. Genes clear, put, puts it as make it difficult. Let me share a story healed. So as you know, my dad is an acute PE ratio specialist and he has recently also developed a formula where he gives us certain medicine that is made of a mixture of hubs and chemicals to his patients that helps them to cut down on alcohol habits on a certain day or domestic helper was discussing with my mother that her husband drinks a lot of alcohol and there's a lot of fight and disturbs heard a lot after that. She asked my mom, is there a cure for it and that you can ever cut down on his habit? That point she wasn't aware that dad has a formula and medicine that helps cut down on alcohol consumption. On that day, I asked my dad what really was it and what does the medicine actually do physiologically? He told me that one just need to mix that medicine in the food of eardrum card. And after that, one will observe in a few days that this smell of alcohol in the real consumption afterwards will lead a burst into Wilmot. It's like the medicine makes it difficult for a drunk or to enjoy the pleasures of drinking. Not fun, but mainly office patients are repeat customers because they feel the benefits of people quitting alcohol after that, I was really taken aback because this is one of the real strategies to work down on your bad habits, which means making it a bit more. It difficult. If you have a habit of streaming and watching endless amount of TV, make sure you didn't switch it from your remote. Instead switch it off from the main switch itself. That will add one extra layer for you to execute the task and press that one extra button switch. If you are looking to build focus and not want to get distracted from your phone, make sure the phone is on silent or it's somewhere away from you that you don't have easy access to. Or if you have a hybrid of munching every now and then, make sure that the food is beyond your work site or all the BQ eat them only after you complete a particular step or desk. As you know, I have a habit of snacking at night, which is a P habit, and that's not what I wanted to have. So what I do to curb is I made sure that I write an article before eating the snack. It properties need to work extra and it happens often that I don't eat it. Because I didn't complete though. Scientifically proven that are bringing results to automatic stuff and wants to make things easy. If you can just add one extra layer of difficulty in the execution of your activity that leads to bad habit, that will surely help you go a long way in curbing it. I would ask you to use this strategy in front of the B habits you listed. And I'm sure you'll feel significant improvements in your life. Now that you have load for strategies, let me share with you the final strategy to remove bad habits from your life. In the next lesson. 13. Accountability Partner : Break Bad Habits: Welcome to the habits masterclass. In this lesson, I'm going to share the final strategy to break bad habits. James Clear in his book, Atomic Habits, referred to it as having an accountability partner. This means having a person close to you who reviews your activity and can make suggestions as to what you want to work upon nowadays. And accountability partners can also be your mobile apps. But having a human in the form of your partner, parent, or any family members, I just sense of emotions and better understanding. It's like, let's say if you are known as 32k or down smoking and you promise yourself to start by giving yourself 70 not to consume it. Your accountability partner can be your visual calendar in the room where you are crossing each day that you don't have a cigarette. It brings a sense of accomplishment and a healthy happy feeling that you are right track. So as you know that I'm emotional and I do get engaged in a lot of lavish spending. My sister acts like my fork node in not letting me have everything at once. She's more of a vice spender as I have indicated, it's like whenever I think of purchasing anything for myself or even for her or even for my parents. I always have this thought. What will my sister say about this? It's like partners act as a guiding light that helps you curb your instincts, which you want to work upon. Choose a person in your life whom you feel close to and who's really avail visual for you. Put down the steps and strategies we discussed earlier in making your bad habits execution tough, and put out to your partner that by the end of the day or by the end of the week, I will report you with how I have been in what I have accomplished, inputting off my bad habit. Now that you are aware of all the five strategies, which of course I hope we're very simple to understand and use. You can tinker with the four components of habits, make changes in breaking your bad habits. But before you really start working, I want you to go through very important pointers that will help you work on your habits, structuring. Let's meet in the next lesson. 14. Important Pointers: Welcome to the habits masterclass. And in this lesson I'm going to share important point though, is you need to keep to evoke on any habit change in your life versus start small. This means having goals for, let's say if you're planning to wake up early at 05:00 AM in the morning. Blend that you'll do it for the next 30 days or seven days, not for the whole life because it can be overwhelming and you may lose this team in between having the 30 days benchmark and achieving it will instill discipline, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment within you to work on further changes you want to make in your life with your habits. The second is work only on one habit at a time. Which means if you want to wake up early in the morning, work only on that. Don't start with the goal that you'll wake up early. You'll start reading self-help books also, you'll start jamming also regularly. This will make things tougher, work only on one thing and accomplish it. The third is how a strong by before you're making a change. And here are the part of purpose will help you align with your goal. Why is the emotional factor which will forever keep you motivated to achieve what you want to. If you're creating a cigarette, having a strong ROI as to why you are doing it is extremely important. Simply saying that you'll do it one day will again let you have that habit getting your emotional quotient attached as to if you have a cigarette. It didn't not only make sure health or lung suffered, but it will also enable your child to take it when he or she will be young in their life. This is a principle we have already learned earlier by changing our desired identity. In the words of Dr. Apj Abdul Kalam, you cannot change your future, but you can change your habits. And shortly you'll have habits with a change of future. Let's then change our bad habits and become the best version of ourselves to have the best of our future. In the next lesson we are going to learn. Key point though is to imbibe and keep good habits to design a beautiful president. So let's begin. 15. Strategies to keep good habits: Hi folks, Welcome to the habits master class. And in this short lesson, I'm going to share with you the strategy of good habits and how you can keep them for longer periods in your life. The first and most important thing is to keep your cues very easy and accessible. For example, if you're wanting to be an early riser and exercise, make sure that you keep your running shoes just beside your bed, your clothes, maybe on your work, they will read sight of where you really wake up the morning. Easy your cues are the better you'll be able to get along with food habits. If you want to have a healthy diet and your nutrition, makes sure the foods are visible to you and easily accessible. And abil kept a right in front of your work table, will have more probability for you to eat Dan when you will keep it in refrigerator. Once you develop or are in a phase of performance of a good habits, make sure you make them easy. The other important strategy to build and keep good Hubbard is habit stacking. That's also a great concept given by James Clear. That means you're linking the good habit to intend to do within activity you usually do. For example, after you watch an hour of Netflix in the evening, You promise yourself that you will cycle for half enough. It's like to have that pleasurable activity in your life. You're putting yourself in the habit of exercising, which is a B activity that is beneficial for you. I use habit stacking to cultivate positive thoughts in my mind. When I go for a walk, I make sure to listen to worship songs and affirmations for one hour. Generally, I coupled a walk with worship songs. So you can use the habit stacking method and it works one dose because E, you get your pleasurable activity in form of your snacking or watching Netflix. But once you write for yourself that after this or during this hybrid, I'm going to go for an exercise. I'm going to meditate. You're linking it up to build and keep good habits. That's very, very important. Under those strategy that works is rewarding yourself on your execution of a routine or an activity. You've won't be seen the results on your body if you go to the gym four days a year. But you'll definitely see it if you go to the gym four days a week for the Julio. Because we have trained our minds for instant results and instant gratification. When we don't see results quickly, we tend to get off from the good habits we try to keep in our life. It's very important that you understand the value for good seed you're planting in your life right now? It's a watering daily with patients will yield fruit, will make it a bigger tree. When you'll have more patients with it. You can not just water the seed for one day and expect to notch it in a big tree in a day or a month, it takes yours, but the process continues when you are consistent at it. Rewarding yourself for showing up in the gym or waking up in the morning and keeping track of your Callender goes a long way in making you think that you are on the right track. The trajectory, the feeling that you're on the right track gets reinforced with new reward, especially in the initial phase of cultivating a good habit. So now that you know these easy, simple strategies to c0 good habits, you're more aware of how behavior changes occurred and can go for a longer period if followed religiously. We're almost at the end of our habits master class. Now that we have learned the signs of habits, though, some scholars share skirt player Scott into which you have classified your daily habits and how do we move bad habits. It's important for me in the next lesson to really, he praises FOR YOU, CAN all list the work of greed people who have shared beautiful insights on hybrids.
