Most people get farther with a habit when they start small. Make it so easy you can’t say no. Actually doing the habit is much more important than how much you do, at the start.
To change a habit, identify the trigger/routine/reward and what isn’t working for you, then choose and practise new, better ones until the repetition forms the new habit.
Every habit you have – good and bad – has the same pattern: Trigger (that initiates the behaviour), Routine (the behaviour itself; the action you take), Reward (the benefit you gain from doing the behaviour).

Inspiration is a much more effective motivator than competition. You’re more likely to experience success if you are inspired by other people’s victories instead of wasting time finding fault with them.
Horace said “Rule your mind, or it will rule you”. You have the ability to train your mind and control your thoughts so your mind obeys you, not the other way around.
