A 3-step repeat formula that makes consistent practicing of your new habit -automatic.

Starting a new habit is easy.

Repeating it is where most people fall apart.

You don’t need more motivation.
You need a method that makes consistency automatic.

That’s exactly what the 3-Step Repeat Formula does.

Step 1: CHOOSE

Pick a time to practise your new habit each day.
Keep it consistent. Your brain loves patterns, not randomness.

Example: “At 7am each morning, I’ll stretch for 5 minutes.”
When your brain knows when something happens, it starts to prepare for it automatically.

Step 2: PICK

Now, choose an existing habit you already do around that time.
This is your anchor.

Example: “I already make coffee at 7am.”
You’re not adding something new to your day. You’re building on top of something that already exists.

Step 3: LINK

This is where the magic happens.
Link your new habit to the old one.

“After I make my coffee, I’ll stretch for 5 minutes.”
The brain loves this cause-and-effect pairing.
Soon, the original habit will automatically trigger the new one.

That’s how you go from effort to ease.

Check out a snazzy looking sheet on this to add even more magic!
