Habits That Hold
A free short course on the psychology of routines - why most habits collapse in week two, and how to build the boring version that doesn't.
Theo MarshMindset instructorBeginner(4 reviews)

Habits That Hold is free, start to finish - it’s the course we want everyone to take before any of the others, because every other course here is really a habit-building course in disguise.
In four short lessons you’ll build a morning ritual, a stillness practice, and an outdoor micro-habit, and learn why the boring, repeatable version of a practice beats the dramatic one every single time.
What you'll learn
- Start a five-minute morning ritual that reframes the whole day
- Sit still for ten minutes without turning it into a performance
- Use five minutes outside as the smallest habit that still counts
- Spot the difference between a habit that's failing and one that's just boring

Free, four lessons, and more useful than the habit book I paid for. The point about a habit being boring rather than failing was the one I needed.
- Ahmed N.
The five-minute ritual is the smallest possible version of a morning routine and the only one I have kept past week two.
- Ella R.
Theo is genuinely uninterested in the dramatic version of anything, which is why this works. Started the daily sit and have not stopped.
- Jonas V.
Very good for a free course. Short, and I would happily have paid for another three lessons on the same material.
