People who manage to exercise habitually actually crave something from the exercise, be it an endorphin rush in the brain, a sense of accomplishment or the treat they allow themselves afterward.
don’t try to resist the craving; redirect it. In other words, you should keep the same cues and rewards, but change the routine that occurs as a result of the craving.
Keystone Habits
Some habits, known as keystone habits, are more important than others because adhering to them creates positive effects that spill over into other areas.
Keystone habits work by providing small wins – that is, early successes that are fairly easy to attain.
Willpower
Willpower, it seemed, was a keystone habit that could be applied to other parts of life, too.
A lack of autonomy also adversely affects willpower. If people do something because they are ordered to rather than by choice, their willpower muscle will get tired much quicker.
