Our guest for today is Robin Jonk. We all know habits like exercise, healthy eating and meditation are good for us, but how exactly do we benefit? And why is it so hard to make them stick? Robin dug into the latest research, and founded Chumble, a behavioral start up with the mission to create 1 billion happier lives through habit formation.

My key takeaways from the discussion in this episode are as follows:
1. Habits are the shortcuts that our brain creates to save energy on the repeated behaviors over time.
2. To become aware of the habits we possess, Robin asks us to go through a journaling exercise about noting our repetitive actions over a few days so that we can determine which of the habits we possess are supportive, not supportive and neutral related to the person we want to be. Once we determine the habits we want to change then…..
3. Based on the book Atomic habits authored by James Clear – Robin spoke in detail about the habit loop that consists of cue, craving, reaction and reward and discussed with examples how we can use this habit loop to transform unwanted habits to healthy habits and also create a set of new habits that will add value to our lives.
4. Failing successfully. Seeing failure as a necessary building block that you need for success. This is such a powerful idea! Not only in the matter of habits but in all matters of life. I am digressing slightly here but I ask all of us who are parents, can we include this in our parenting routine and allow our children to fail successfully? To fail, learn lessons from the failure and apply those lessons to the next endeavor leading to success, this will give them such a sense of freedom where no failure will bring them down but in fact they will start expecting and accepting failure like they do successes.
I will bring you the first episode of season 7 of Sharing Life Lessons in three weeks on Wednesday, June 30th. Until then, 'Be happy, be safe and be well'.
