How To Improve Your Habits With One Simple Trick

Hello, Gorgeous!

I am a huge habit tracker. Not in a log it onto a spreadsheet way or recording things in a notebook style. More of a consciously making the right decisions in real time manner. 

This hack has changed my life for the better and I hope you find some solace in it as well. 

With the entire 2026 ahead of me, I have a plan of changing my life in one year. To expedite this process, I had to change things with action FAST.

What to do

When you catch yourself doing something that does not make sense to you – if it prevents you from showing up as your best tomorrow or will hurt you in the short run – it actually damages quite a bit of your future. 

Instead of deleting a habit entirely – replace it with a better one. 

I keep my routine of doing the things I like. It can be in moderation of still enjoying a hedonistic live in the moment lifestyle whilst keeping myself healthy, in the right state of mind, and motivated tomorrow to keep true to my goals that I set to affect me in five years.

Life is a chess match. 

Before you have another coffee and become a shaky mess, replace it with a decaffeinated tea. 

In lieu of reaching for a cigarette, replace it with a non-nicotine flavoured air vape. 

Rather than destroying your energy and body with a hard workout, find an alternative of something fun to do that keeps your NEAT up. Walk around the beach or gorgeous retail area in comfortable shoes. 

I love shopping. Especially window shopping. Now is not the time to be making luxury purchases. It is not a matter of if but when. Instead of speeding up the result and suffering now, I stay true to my path towards my dreams by reminding myself it will come.

As an alternative, I will window shop and visit places around town where I can surround myself with beautiful things and positive energy I like without making a purchase. It is so simple. 

I get my steps in, break a sweat, and basque in the joys of trying on clothes I cannot afford with still having the feeling of enjoying the clothes. I can simply take a photo of myself in the dressing rooms. It’s a win-win. 

Substitution is your go-to when getting rid of a habit. You do not need to remove them from your life, but to simply change what it is that you are doing when having an inkling. 

A craving is a very in the moment thing. Keep yourself in your power by constructing a plan to rearrange your life to still marvel in what you love whilst doing the right thing. 

The language in your head changes as well

I make a rule to switch things upside down. It quiets negative thinking and reopens the possibilities for me and what else I can do further down the line.

I do not complain about work. I remind myself I have a good business that I am thrilled to help people with. 

I do not say to myself I can’t or it’s not the right time. It switches to one day or in a few months. 

Never let marketing traps control you. 

You are in control of your destiny all the time. Set that boundary. It will make you feel stronger, more accomplished, and confident in every decision you make. 

The thing is I can afford to splurge. Live a little, they say. I live a lot. And I want to keep living a lot down the line when I one day have a husband, kids, and grandchildren. 

My why is them. I want to be able to take my grandchildren to places they have never seen or heard about simply because I made these wise selections long before they were born. 

Am I actually living? 1,000 more.

I think of all the rewards and still luxuriate in the journey, because I never feel deprived. 

I have never been healthier.

It is so sexy to see yourself in the mirror and feel good about what you see. All because instead of stuffing my face with junk, I switched to whole foods for snacks if I am really hungry. I only eat when I am hungry. 

Elegant ladies never rush.

If you feel like there is a time limit, it is probably not for you. Marketing puts an exclusivity cap on products to make you feel as if this is the last time you will ever buy! 

There is always going to be another product when the season comes or it sells secondhand on Poshmark. 

This is not discipline, this is a way of life.

When you are balanced, you stabilise your entire life one good call after the other. Do the thing. Take action now, because it will change your life. 

I finally understand what people mean when I heard what I thought was the platitude of trust the process. Its simplicity is profound, yet it enriches every facet of life. You are right where you. need to be. You’re welcome.
