How to Build a Habit That Lasts

Creating a new habit doesn’t have to be overwhelming — the key is starting small and building gradually.

Tips for building lasting habits:

• Begin with a tiny, achievable version of the habit (e.g. a 5-minute walk)
• Make it specific: “I will walk after breakfast each day”
• Track your progress and celebrate small wins
• Stay consistent, even if the effort is small
• Be kind to yourself when things don’t go perfectly
• Gradually increase the time or intensity as it becomes part of your routine

With time and self-compassion, small actions lead to meaningful, lasting change.
