Ever zone out and forget all about the healthy habits you've committed to? Don't beat yourself up for a lack of willpower. You may just need reminders. Learn about triggers and anchors to help you stick to the healthy habits:
Another way to cue yourself is to use an anchor.you want to take to reach your goal. Anchors help psych you up to do them.
When you come in contact with an anchor, you relive the feelings and thoughts you have linked with it. For instance, the sound of a rocking chair always makes you sleepy because it's anchored to your parents rocking you to sleep. All anchors don't have to be unconscious, though. You can also create an anchor intentionally to relive a particular feeling or motivation on demand. In that way, anchors help you remember yourLet’s say you’re listening to music while you’re on the treadmill, and you feel supercharged during a particular song. That song can become your anchor for those feelings. When you replay it, you'll feel the same energy boost you got during that workout.
Another example of an anchor you hear is a sound like"shhh." You can use that sound to relax yourself. Or you can use a mantra, like"I am calm." You can also trigger your habit with sight or touch. Think about a personal item that reminds you of a time you felt especially strong. When you need those feelings back, look at the item or touch it.
Some people use a ring or wristband. Others consider their fitness device the anchor that gives them a power boost.Persuasive Technology Lab, Stanford University:"A Behavior Model for Persuasive Design" and"The Behavior Wizard."Erik Hajer, fitness and lifestyle coach, Boston.Weight Watchers eTools:"Tools for Living -- Anchoring."
