In their journey to tackle excess weight, some may resort to bold decisions like exercising and losing weight; however, they often overlook some necessary steps for achieving success. The American newspaper "The New York Times" highlighted 4 main ways to build new healthy habits as follows, according to "Sky News Arabia":
1. **Link to an Existing Habit:** Experts say the best way for someone to adopt a new habit is to connect it with an existing one. The morning routine is a great place to start; for example, having that morning cup of coffee can create an opportunity to begin meditating for one minute.
2. **Repeat Daily:** Adopting habits takes time, but they form quicker than you think if you practice them consistently. A quick walk every day after dinner is an example of a habit that can be easily repeated daily.
3. **Make It Easy:** Studies indicate that individuals who choose gyms close to home have a greater chance of exercising regularly compared to those who go to distant gyms.
4. **Reward Yourself:** You can listen to audiobooks while walking or watch your favorite show while running on the treadmill; this enhances the habit of exercising.
