Here Are 7 Effective Tips for Starting New Routines

Taking charge of our lives and making changes can seem daunting, especially with a full-time job, household chores, and everyday stress. However, it’s worth it! Habits help us stay structured and focused, especially during stressful times. Here are 7 science-backed tips to help you establish new routines that benefit you and make you feel great.

Tip #1: Set Realistic Goals

To stay motivated, your goals need to be realistic and achievable. Just as marathon runners don't start with 42 km, and artists don't create masterpieces on their first try, your goals should follow the SMART acronym (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely).

Example: Drink a portion of AG1 every day before breakfast and spend 20 minutes planning your day. Creating a plan to reach your goals is helpful: break large goals into smaller steps to see progress quickly. Each step forward is a reason to be proud and keeps you motivated on your journey to success.

Tip #2: Take Small Steps

Trying to overhaul your entire life at once can lead to giving up at the first setback. Building a new routine takes patience—approach your goals step by step. Aiming for a spectacular life might seem intimidating at first. However, achieving small daily milestones makes your grand goal (a spectacular life) feel more attainable. Establishing a healthy morning routine is essential for a great life—start with something simple like incorporating AG1 into your day.

Tip #3: Find Triggers

Science says that triggers help establish new habits for the long term. A trigger can be anything—a place, a time of day, or an activity that reminds you of your new habit. For example, placing your AG1 bottle in a visible spot in the kitchen the night before sets the trigger for the next morning. Similarly, laying out your workout clothes at night or tidying your desk after work can be effective. On stressful days, anticipate challenges by setting reminders on your phone or sticking a Post-it note on the counter.

Pro Tip: Find an accountability partner. Start a routine together, like drinking AG1 every morning, and keep each other in check. This support can be invaluable in maintaining daily habits.

Tip #4: Integrate into Daily Life

If you perceive a new routine as an obligation or an extra task, it will be hard to stick with it. To make it easier, integrate new habits directly into your daily life using triggers. For instance, if you start your day with a cup of coffee, incorporate AG1 into your morning routine. Similarly, biking to work can be simpler than finding time for a ride later.

By setting your alarm 30 minutes earlier, you create time to do something for yourself in the morning, like preparing a balanced lunch or reading a book that has been sitting on your nightstand.

Tip #5: Reward Yourself

For example, if you aim to improve your fitness and immune system by spending more time outdoors, start with realistic goals. Committing to two to three days a week is a great start. Secondly, acknowledge your progress and reward yourself, such as enjoying a relaxing evening on the couch with your favourite show. Rewards are essential for motivation; they make you feel appreciated for your efforts and boost your self-confidence by recognising your accomplishments. All of this positively impacts your overall well-being.

Tip #6: Be Patient

We often want everything immediately, but establishing a new routine takes 60-70 days. So, be patient and not overly critical of yourself. Don’t give up easily; give your best every day. After 2-3 months, your morning AG1 will become a seamless part of your routine. Allowing time for growth helps manage stress and focus on tasks. Patience lets us try new things and fosters creativity. So, give yourself some space to grow!

Tip #7: Stay Consistent

Staying consistent is the key to success. Only through consistency can routines become habits and habits a part of your lifestyle. Showing strong willpower and not giving up is what will make you proud in the end. Setting realistic goals means you'll achieve them by consistently working towards them. Even a half-hour walk daily can have a positive effect. Consistency is key!

So, start by taking that first step. Routines don't become habits overnight. Stay consistent and patient, and reward yourself for small successes. This keeps you motivated towards a spectacular life!

Tip #8: Stop Overthinking

Once we've made a decision, it's often hard to accept it without second-guessing. Overthinking sets in, with questions like "What if?" or "Should I have done it differently?" This distracts us from what we need to focus on. The focus shifts to the past, away from the present and future goals.

Here, being proactive is crucial. Make a decision and commit to making it one of your best. You have the power to turn any decision into a success. If you find yourself overthinking, zoom out and recognize the potential of your decisions. Staying focused and working on what makes you happy is a daily choice for a fulfilling life.

There are many ways to sharpen your focus and improve concentration. Get active and choose to be a more productive and focused version of yourself. Create structure in your daily routine, work processes, and to-do lists. Prioritize effectively in both work and personal life. Take breaks, eat well, stay hydrated, and minimize distractions from your primary tasks. Make decisions and turn them into the right ones! A spectacular life is a self-determined life—go for it!
