About this ebook
The power of small actions repeated daily overtime can have a tremendous impact on our lives. The only problem is, we often underestimate that power and as such, have trouble sticking to or changing our habits for the better.
“How to Change Habits” is not your average guide that is filled with vague steps on how to get things done. It walks you through a detailed, 7 step approach to effectively implement change in your routine and better yet, get these habits to stick long-term. Changing your habits does not have to be a struggle, not when you know the right techniques required to get the job done.
If physical strength can be built no matter what your body shape or size, so too can your mental strength. It’s about the determination, discipline, and perseverance aspect more so than the decision to adopt a new habit. If you can commit to what you set out to do no matter how hard it is for you, you can do anything that you set your mind to.
YOU WILL LEARN:
• How to develop the growth mindset in 7 easy steps.
• How to stop sabotaging yourself.
• How to create and set SMART goals.
• How to eliminate your procrastination addiction.
• How to develop the positive psychology and change your mindset.
• How to create your perfect routine with habit-stacking.
• How to track your progress to ensure lasting success.
Every day is an opportunity for a fresh start and a chance to develop the positive psychology, habit-building, and productive routines you need to ultimately cultivate that successful mindset you’ve always wanted. If you don’t learn to change your habits and break away from the ones that are holding you back, you’re always going to find it difficult to achieve success!

Introduction
Welcome to "How to Change Habits". Did you know that the reason you wake up in the morning with clean teeth and minty-fresh breath was because a man named Claude C. Hopkins convinced people roughly 100-years ago convinced people that brushing their teeth should be a daily routine? Back then, brushing teeth wasn’t the norm, and not everyone was open to the idea, believe it or not. Hopkins was having trouble selling his brand of toothpaste but in the end, he was able to convince half the American public to adopt this new habit, repeat this habit every single day, and pay money for his toothpaste. It’s a habit that we all carry on to this very day and pass it down to our children, who then pass it on to their children. Thanks to Hopkins, our oral care today has improved significantly compared to that of people who lived several hundred years ago. That’s the power of what changing habits, especially adopting positive new habits, can do to change your life.
Everyone’s got habits. You can probably name a few of your own right now, some good and some less than ideal ones that you would maybe like to change for the better. You don’t consciously think of doing these behaviors, but because you’ve done them so often, they’ve now become a habit. Habits are what we do automatically and subconsciously, like walking, clapping, or high-fiving someone when we’re celebrating. Habits can lead to tremendous transformation in our lives. Just look at what Hopkins accomplished by instilling this new habit into our minds.
As humans, we’re creatures of habit. We find it so hard to move out of our comfort zone because we’re used to things being done a certain way. It’s a way we feel comfortable with because it’s familiar. That’s what a habit feels like. If you want to change your life, you need to change your habits. Fortunately, once you understand the way habits work after you’re done with this guide, changing them and sticking to them is going to be a lot easier.
Chapter 1: Step 1 – Develop Your Growth Mindset
Did you know that the growth mindset is a major principle of personal success? Stanford Professor and author, Carol Dweck, there are two types of mindsets that we are capable of possessing:
The Growth Mindset
The Fixed Mindset
Fixed Mindset individuals believe that their personal traits cannot be changed and, therefore, make very little to no progress at all in their lives. These individuals will find it very difficult to develop the positive psychology needed to cultivate a successful mindset because they believe that talent and intelligence are traits you get from birth, making them fixed
traits. They allow these beliefs to define their success or failure and this mindset stops them from working on developing the talents they have. Since they believe these qualities are fixed
from birth, you either have them or you don’t. They would rather document their talents and capabilities instead of doing any real work to improve. Fixed Mindset people hold the core belief that talent alone will lead to success.
People with the Growth Mindset, on the other hand, believe that learning and intelligence can be developed with time and experience. They know that the effort they put in has a part to play in the successes they achieve in life. They believe that their basic abilities can be strengthened and developed through hard work and dedication. This notion forms the core of their belief system. To the Growth Mindset group, talent and brains are only the beginning. Individuals with this mindset are the ones who go on to achieve monumental success in their lives.
