How to Build Habits That Actually Stick in 2026 | Daily Habits | Sukh Sapra

Описание: Episode 1: Setting New Habits That Actually Stick
Welcome to the very first episode! Whether you set goals in January that have already started to slip, or you're ready to finally build the habits you've been putting off, this episode is your foundation for making real, lasting change.

Here's the truth: most people fail at building new habits not because they lack willpower or discipline, but because they're approaching it all wrong.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

Why Most Habits Fail
We break down the common mistakes that doom habits from the start - setting goals that are too big, too vague, or relying entirely on motivation and willpower. You'll learn why that initial burst of enthusiasm fades so quickly and what actually needs to be in place for long-term success.

The Motivation Trap
Motivation gets you started, but it won't keep you going. We'll explore why you can't depend on feeling motivated and what to build instead so you show up even on the days you don't feel like it.

The Approach That Actually Works
This is where we get practical. You'll learn:
How to start stupidly small (and why this is the most important thing you can do)
The difference between identity-based and outcome-based habits - and why "becoming" beats "achieving"
Habit stacking: how to anchor new habits to existing routines so they actually happen
Environment design: making your habits obvious and easy by changing your surroundings
Simple tracking and accountability systems that work without adding complexity

How to Implement Right Now
We walk through the specific steps to build your first habit:

Why you should pick ONE habit to start with (and only one)
How to shrink that habit down until it feels almost silly
Finding your anchor - what existing routine will you attach it to?
Designing your environment so the habit is easier to do than not do
Tracking it simply so you can see progress

What to Do When You Slip
You will miss days. That's normal. We cover the "never miss twice" rule - the simple principle that keeps you on track even when life gets messy. One missed day doesn't break a habit; giving up after one missed day does.

Your Action Step
By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear action: Pick one habit you want to build. Make it so small it feels almost silly. Anchor it to something you already do every day.

Try it for one week and see what happens.
This is the foundation everything else builds on. Get this right, and the habits you want to build - whether that's fitness, finances, relationships, or work - become inevitable.
