Exercise 1
Discuss the following question in your group in English.
Which habit would you like to build? Why?
Is there a habit you’d like to break? What is it?
How to build a new habit
According to researchers at Duke University, habits account for about 40 percent of our behaviours on any given day. Understanding how to build new habits (and how your current ones work) is essential for making progress in your health, your happiness, and your life in general.
But there can be a lot of information out there and most of it isn’t very simple to digest. To solve this problem and break things down in a very simple manner, I have created this strategy guide for how to build new habits that actually stick.
Even more detailed information is available in my book, Atomic Habits.
[1]
When most people struggle to build new habits, they say something like, “I just need more motivation.” Or, “I wish I had as much willpower as you do.”
This is the wrong approach. Research shows that willpower is like a muscle. It gets fatigued as you use it throughout the day. Another way to think of this is that your motivation ebbs and flows. It rises and falls. Stanford professor BJ Fogg calls this the “motivation wave.”\
Solve this problem by picking a new habit that is easy enough that you don’t need motivation to do it. Rather than starting with 50 push-ups per day, start with 5 push-ups per day. Rather than trying to meditate for 10 minutes per day, start by meditating for one minute per day. Make it easy enough that you can get it done without motivation.
[2]
One percent improvements add up surprisingly fast. So, do one percent declines.
Rather than trying to do something amazing from the beginning, start small and gradually improve. Along the way, your willpower and motivation will increase, which will make it easier to stick to your habit for good.
[3]
If you continue adding one percent each day, then you’ll find yourself increasing very quickly within two or three months. It is important to keep each habit reasonable, so that you can maintain momentum and make the behaviour as easy as possible to accomplish.
Building up to 20 minutes of meditation? Split it into two segments of 10 minutes at first.
Trying to do 50 push-ups per day? Five sets of 10 might be much easier as you make your way there.
[4]
Top performers make mistakes, commit errors, and get off track just like everyone else. The difference is that they get back on track as quickly as possible.
Research has shown that missing your habit once, no matter when it occurs, has no measurable impact on your long-term progress. Rather than trying to be perfect, abandon your all-or-nothing mentality.
You shouldn’t expect to fail, but you should plan for failure. Take some time to consider what will prevent your habit from happening. What are some things that are likely to get in your way? What are some daily emergencies that are likely to pull you off course? How can you plan to work around these issues? Or, at least, how you can bounce back quickly from them and get back on track?
You just need to be consistent, not perfect. Focus on building the identity of someone who never misses a habit twice.
[5]
Learning to be patient is perhaps the most critical skill of all. You can make incredible progress if you are consistent and patient.
If you are adding weight in the gym, you should probably go slower than you think. If you are adding daily sales calls to your business strategy, you should probably start with fewer than you expect to handle. Patience is everything. Do things you can sustain.
New habits should feel easy, especially in the beginning. If you stay consistent and continue increasing your habit it will get hard enough, fast enough. It always does.

Have a conversation with a classmate about your healthy habits. Use the description below.
Preparation
Together, write down six questions you can ask someone about their habits.
Decide who is going to ask the questions and who is going to reply.
If needed, write down some words to help you during the conversation.
Practise your conversation at least once.
Finished? Switch roles.
Having the conversation
Find another pair to work with.
Act out your conversation.
Let them act out their conversation and write down feedback for them.
Discuss what things were good and what you can do better next time.
Step 6 - Writing
Write an online message
One of your English friends writes the following in a post on social media.
I think schools should teach their students healthy habits. A lot of kids don’t know how to make healthy food or how to stay active in their daily lives. I believe that if students are healthy they feel happier and do better in school.
Write a response of at least 60 words.
If you agree with your friend, start your message with: I agree, because…
If you don’t agree with your friend, start your message with: I disagree, because…
