#33 Creating new habits: 4 essential elements (and motivation is not one of them!)

The biggest discovery of human behavioral and neuroscientists is particularly counter-intuitive: it is not motivation that matters most when it comes to starting a new good habit.

Sometimes it takes a long time to want to change, but once we've made our decision, we'd like it to happen very quickly. The biggest discovery of human behavioral and neuroscientists is particularly counter-intuitive: it is not motivation that matters most when it comes to starting a new good habit. Yes, motivation is important, of course, but only at the beginning because it doesn't last. On the other hand, 4 elements must be present for a behavior to become a real habit: it must be EVIDENT, the behavior must be DESIRABLE, EASY and it must bring real SATISFACTION. If you take these 4 elements into account when starting a new habit such as going back to sports, you will give yourself every chance of success.
