1. People should start with small habits because they are easier to do every day. Small steps help people stay motivated and not quit.
2. Pairing is when you connect a new habit to something you already do. For example, doing stretches after waking up.
3. Accountability means having someone check on your progress. For example, a friend can remind you to keep practicing your habit.
4. To eat healthier, people can keep fruits and healthy snacks at home instead of junk food. Being around healthy people can also help.
5. People can stop bad habits by staying away from triggers and replacing the bad habit with a better one.
6. A safeguard is a way to prevent bad habits. For example, someone who watches too much TikTok can set a screen time limit.
7. An abstainer avoids something completely, while a moderator controls how much they do it. I think I am more of a moderator because I prefer balance instead of stopping completely.
