Rehabitus: Empowering Personal Growth After Addiction.
In Brief
We all engage in daily habits, but how often do we stop to assess whether they truly serve our best interests?
We can test their usefulness by imagining if they were repeated a hundred more times.
Do your daily habits multiplied over a hundred days make your life better or worse?
Habits to Consider Adding
To determine which habits are worth picking up, consider the question:
What small daily habit, if added to my routine and repeated for a hundred days, would make my life significantly better?
Consider the following small daily habits:
Walking outside for ten minutes to boost energy and mood.
Meditating for two minutes to enhance mindfulness and reduces stress.
Reading five or more pages of a book to expand knowledge and relax the mind.
Keeping a diary to organise thoughts and increases productivity.
Cooking at home to promote healthier eating and to save money.
Active listening to improve relationships and understanding.
Sending a simple message to loved ones to strengthen bonds and support emotional well-being.
Keeping boundaries in place to foster personal space and self-respect.
As individual actions, these may seem insignificant. But if repeated over a hundred days their value is revealed.
Imagine the benefits: Feeling healthier after a hundred walks, inspired after reading five hundred pages, or reconnecting with a loved one through regular communication. All these gains stem from committing just a few minutes daily to actions that benefit you. Significant wins arise from these simple, everyday choices.
Consistency is the key.
Reflect on your choices and habits, and run them through the hundred-day test to discover which ones would truly enrich your life.
Habits to Consider Removing
Are there harmful habits that you could eliminate? Let’s see:
What small daily habit, if eliminated from my routine for a hundred days, would make my life significantly better?
Consider these simple daily commitments:
Reducing screen time before bed to help sleep quality.
Avoiding sugar to keep energy levels stable across the day.
Cutting out unnecessary social media to free up time for more fulfilling activities.
Not smoking to improve overall health.
Blocking the people that drain energy to maintain well-being and boost self-esteem.
Consider the consequences of keeping harmful habits. Imagine the hours spent scrolling through social media, the excessive sugar consumed, or the time wasted in arguments, all in just one day. Now multiply that by a hundred. The cumulative impact of these habits can be startling. The choice to continue these behaviours is yours, and each decision shapes your future.
Now you can better imagine if a habit is worth doing or needs ditching.
