Mona Sharma explains habit stacking: attach a new practice like mindfulness or gratitude to something you already do, like waiting for tea or going to the gym. No extra time needed, just elevate your mood and choices by merging routines.

Um, they'll go to the gym but when they go to the gym they're spending five minutes in mindfulness afterwards. So looking at where you can merge a habit that you're already doing something that you're already doing and loving with something that would help you kind of step into the higher version of yourself and make you feel really, really good. That could be playing loud music and dancing like that could be an amazing habit stack because again it's elevating your vibration to make better choices for yourself throughout the day.
Yeah, habit stacking is such a great, great skill and you're so right. If you're going to go work out five minutes of mindfulness even when you're thinking about being grateful like while you're waiting for your tea in the morning to just heat up or whatever it may be to practice gratitude at that time, I think people often think oh my gosh, I've got to find all this time in my day no.
