My best fitness companion is… daylight!!🌅 I live in the wilderness, therefore I do outdoor activities to stay fit. If I can get home from work in the daylight, outdoor activity happens. If I get home in the dark… I don’t want to leave my cozy cacoon (aka my house). To accomplish this “daylight goal”, I gather up all my stuff in my classroom at lunchtime. When the after school bell rings, my stuff is already gathered and I am ready to head out of school for the day. This habit is working for me. Thanks for the update, Immy. I appreciate hearing about your goals and strategies. This helps keep me accountable. Ⓜary💕👩🏻🎓
Working smarter not harder is definitely a goal of mine haha! My goals are try and spend more time outside (doesn’t even matter what I’m doing just as long as I’m outside!), keep carrying on with my two big craft projects (knitting a jumper and making a quilt), learning how to use my new overlocker, trying recipes till I can make a tasty and low effort loaf of gluten free bread, grow 6 new varieties of vegetables outside and 8 new varieties hydroponically and try and host my friends and family for dinner more often! Habit stacking has helped me finally stick to a bed time routine that actually works and makes a huge difference in improving my sleep quality :)
Thank you for another great video Immy! I need this in 2025! I’ve sunk pretty low in the last year and need something to relight my personal pilot light. I love Atomic Habits and just put 12 Weeks on my Kindle. One atomic habit I used in the past was to do pushups against the bathroom counter every time I brushed my teeth. I’m going to bring that back as I get back on track.
Love habit stacking too! Have so many running goals this year (as well as other creative goals) so I hope to lean into all the systems i've developed this quarter. Good luck with all your goals!
Movement is super fun when you find the right type for you. Then you don't need to hold yourself accountable or whatever... you gain a new hobby that will probably snowball into taking up other sports or activities that bring joy. I think it's the best way to approach being active.
I'm realizing I've been doing some habit-stacking without knowing it. Sometimes I try to use those little moments when I'd just be waiting for something to heat up in the microwave and do balance exercises. When I fill up my water bottle at the fridge door, I'd just be standing there waiting for it to slowly fill so I started doing squats. Years ago when I drove my kids to school, I'd put on my exercise clothes in the morning, drop them off and then go straight to the gym which was very near the school. I would have a lot of resistance to going to the gym but since I was already dressed for it, I'd go anyway. Now I'm eager to see what other habits I can stack-- thanks, Immy!
This video comes at the right time, resolutions and goal setting for the new year is soo nice but without proper systems they are destined to fail. Especially in my morning habits, I was stuck for years. All my goal setting never worked - I would oversleep on accident, forget stuff in the rush of the morning, stay up late because I wasn’t that tired and then oversleep again..The cycle continued. Habit stacking allowed me to have a simpler more productive morning routine that actually sticks
It’s so funny to see this video today. This morning I taught a plant-based nutrition and cooking class centered around making healthy habits that stick. And I specifically focused on habit stacking because that is also been life-changing for me as well. Great video and now I have a couple other books to read. Thanks for all you do.
Im adding yoga back into my weightlifting and cardio routine with aim to do more handstands, back bends and a cartwheel this year (all things I use to do, but slacked off on). My morning habit stack: coffee..assemble: frozen fruit, creatine, matcha and protein powder, flaxseeds in mason jar, 40 minutes free weights core resistance and mobility exercise, stretching, immersion blend my smoothie and drink it, take supplements, clean kitchen and most importantly scan my fridge for what needs using up and plan dinner. Do I need to defrost anything? start soaking a bean or seeds for sprouting? batch cook some brown rice? etc. I find having my dinner planned at breakfast sets me up to succeed all day for eating (lunch is usually leftover dinner or assembled salads/nourish bowls from prepped components already in fridge.). I guess I need to add yoga in there...probably with my stretching, as I never seem to get around to it later in the day.
Thank you for explaining habit stacking the way you did. I had heard of it and had a vague idea of what it meant. I guess I never took the time to really look into it. You sold me on habit stacking! Thanks, Immy!
I wouldn't normally share my goals, but you encouraged me through your video 😃 I want to go to the gym 2/3 times a week (classes or running), have my first trainings with personal coach, because I'm too scared to work out on my own in the gym.. I also want to hike more just like you mentioned, I have a dream/goal to go on the hike into the Alps in 3 years and I want to prepare myself as much as I can 💪🏻 I love the idea of scrolling while doing zone 2 exercises, I'm going to try this out, thanks!
I love your content but for a lot of people paying $99 a month for trainwell PLUS having a gym membership is just not attainable. I would love to see more affordable options for fitness.
I've been testing using ChatGPT for this! I've told it how many days a week I want to work out, my goals, and then told it to include my physio exercises. Then there's infinite opportunities to update and change to your liking.
I think it will depend where you live. I'm in France and I have 5 hours of dance class per week for 500 euros/year. It's very inexpensive when I see prices in the US.
habit stacking is how i remember to take my vitamins (though i am still not the best at it lol) im trying to be better about my health this year and vitamins are one small part i can stick to thatll help a tonne thanks immy also side note i love your book ❤
I think the first time I personally learned about habit stacking was from the book "How to Change" by Katy Milkman. I highly recommend, I listened to it through Libby and then bought it. I plan to reread it soon.
My fitness goal is to do some form of exercise every single day over the course of the year, barring illness or injury. It doesn't have to be intense - the point is consistency.
I habit stacked my way to journaling everyday via my morning coffee or matcha latte. My goal is to add meditation afterwards. What brand is your water filter?
Just know that habits almost never work for people in the spectrum. Trying to build habits and constantly fail in an effort to be more neurotypical is punishing and soul destroying. It’s better to develop routines and use prompts.
Also on the spectrum myself, habit stacking works for me. For example in my routine I make a cup of tea in the morning, while waiting for the kettle, can I empty the dishwasher. It’s building on that routine.
I'm audhd and I'm able to create habits. I'm a lot healthier and happier with them, too. They worked once I listened and followed my body instead of fighting against it.
Last year I did 3 days of workout constantly and ate really well (100% plant based). This year I plan to do exactly the same.

so beside the point but that water glass when you took your vitamins was gorgeous. giving thrifted gem, perhaps

Thank you for the motivation😊 My main goal this year is to be much more intentional with spending.

Good morning 😊
Channel name change? Love your channel either way ❤❤❤
Yeess, my handle is still the same but I wanted people to know my name!
@@SustainablyVeganlove it! Made me smile seeing your name come up!
Omg I didn’t even notice. Congratulations, Immy! I’ve heard from other creators that that step can be a bit scary, but we *love*
Did you get a haircut? You look so lovely 😍

Just because something doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it won't work for anyone else. Stop speaking for all of us.
