What are habits?
Read out loud.
Habits are like invisible shortcuts we build in our daily lives. Imagine brushing your teeth – you do it so often it's practically on autopilot! That's a habit. Now, some habits rock, like reading every day – they boost our smarts and confidence, like leveling up in a video game. These are positive habits, supercharging our brains and bodies. But others are like pesky gremlins, like scrolling social media for hours. They zap our energy and focus, dragging us down. These are negative habits, the gremlins we gotta tame. Here's the cool part: both types can be trained! By choosing awesome habits and kicking out the gremlins, we unlock superpower levels of skill and resilience. Think of it like building an army of healthy habits – they fight off the gremlins and push us closer to our goals, making our future selves stronger and brighter, one good habit at a time!
