This routine will help you build new habits and break old ones by making them obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying. It includes protocols for habit tracking, reflection, and leveraging accountability partners.

Small, atomic habits make a big difference. In this episode, James Clear, best-selling author of Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones, joins Craig Groeschel for a conversation on creating your identity and reaching your goals by starting small, repeatable habits

Benefits: ✨ Improved physical fitness and energy levels
📚 Increased knowledge and personal development
🧘‍♂️ Promotes discipline and a sense of accomplishment

"Atomic Habits" by James Clear reveals practical strategies to help you form good habits, break bad ones, and master tiny behaviors that lead to big changes.

"You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems" - James Clear

The book suggests that if you're having trouble changing habits, the problem isn't you - it's your system. Bad habits repeat because you have the wrong system for change.
