Build Strong Habits — Why You’re Struggling With Consistency & 7 Tips To Finally Build Powerful Habits
The best way to develop a habit in anything is obviously being intrinsically motivated.

Olympic Athletes compete because they want to make their parents proud, soldiers fight to give freedom to the world, and comedians try to make others laugh because it will brush away the pain of the sadness they felt for so long.
It does not matter to them if you agree with their reasons or not, for they will do it anyway for them.
However, for most of us this just will not work.
Even though we want to develop the habit, knowing fully that it would be good for us, we still resist the habit as it becomes more difficult along the way.
Because our drive is not strong enough we end up making excuses or trying to find reasons to avoid the habit one day.
Before we know it, one day turned into most of the week and we end up not doing it at all anymore.
We’ve all done it before.
We start something, intent on making it a habit this time, and we actually start strong.
