how do I want to feel?

What problems am I trying to solve and what habits might get me there?

So for example, in my morning routine, I love to learn.

Learning is one of my values.

And when I learn something, when I'm reading a really good book, my brain gets all buzzy.

It's

got all of the good feelings accompanying it.

Not only that, but reading for me solves a really strong problem.

I'm a content creator.

I need regular inspiration for creating my content.

So when I'm reading, I tend to find that I'm a lot more inspired in my day to day.

So that was an easy habit to integrate into my morning routine.

Another thing that I like to do when it comes to my habits is have habit tiers or habit menus, if you will.

So

The way that I think of it is not every day are you going to show up as your highest energy self.

Not every day you're going to wake up and be really pumped about life, really pumped about doing whatever habits you have in front of you.

And you need to accommodate for that to expect yourself to always show up at your absolute best.

isn't realistic, but it's usually what people plan for when they decide on their habits, their routines.

They're like, yes, I'm going to feel just as motivated in two weeks time as I feel right now as I plan this routine out.

But it's not a realistic way of thinking.
