The problem is not discipline. It is strategy. In this episode, I break down the simple habit stacking framework I use to build routines that actually last. Instead of relying on willpower, you will learn how to anchor new habits to behaviors you already do every day, making consistency feel almost automatic. You will discover how to identify the right existing habit, why starting embarrassingly small is the key to momentum, and how to integrate new behaviors into your life without burning out. This approach removes friction, lowers resistance, and helps you build routines that support long-term health and performance. If you have ever felt stuck restarting the same habits over and over again, this video will give you a clearer, more sustainable way forward. 🔗 Resources I Mention/Use in This Episode: The Gap and The Gain (book by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy) - https://amzn.to/4bWBL Outlive (book by Peter Attia MD) - https://amzn.to/42g7vZW Chapters: 00:00 Welcome to the Athlete with Asthma Show 00:44 Why starting new routines is so challenging 01:07 Habit stacking and why it changes everything 02:58 Step 1: Choose an existing habit to anchor to 05:29 Step 2: Begin with the smallest possible version 08:27 Step 3: Seamlessly integrate the new habit 10:40 The three pillars of building healthy routines 12:04 Final thoughts and an invitation to join Athlete With Asthma healthy living guide I'm Jonny Havey, the Athlete with Asthma, and I help people with (and without) asthma overcome their perceived limitations and achieve elite health and performance, w…
