I try to remind myself of a simple rule: never miss twice.
Focus on the process rather than the results.

The more a habit becomes part of your life, the less you need outside encouragement to follow through.
The costs of your good habits are in the present. The costs of your bad habits are in the future.
You have to standardize before you can optimize. You can’t improve a habit that doesn’t exist.
You don’t actually want the habit itself. What you really want is the outcome the habits delivers.
If you want to master a habit, the key is to start with repetition, not perfection.
It is emotion that allows you to mark things as good, bad, or indifferent.
Life feels reactive, but it is actually predictive.
The normal behavior of the tribe often overpowers the desired behavior of the individual.
Whenever we are unsure how to act, we look to the group to guide our behavior.
Behaviors are attractive when they help us fit in.
The more automatic a behavior becomes, the less likely we are to consciously think about it.
You are much more than your conscious self.
People who don’t have their habits handled are often the ones with the least amount of freedom.
Building better habits isn’t about littering your day with life hacks.
Your habits shape your identity, and your identity shapes your habits. It’s a two-way street.
The more tasks you can handle without thinking, the more your brain is free to focus on other areas.
Habits are a double-edged sword. Bad habits can cut you down just as easily as good habits can build you up.
What starts as a small win or a minor setback accumulates into something much more.
