One of my goals for the year was to reach 5 pull-ups with good form, and I'm very close to reaching the goal, I plan to push and reach it next month. 💪 I will say that in the beginning it's hard to make progress with pull-ups, but once you get to your first 1-2 pullup it becomes very satisfying to do them, and that's the best part in my opinion. 🔥

I finished reading Atomic Habits, and basically the book teaches how our daily life is mostly made up of small habits and how we can change them to improve our lives. 🗝️Key Lessons I Learned: 1) The Power of Tiny Gains – Small improvements (1% better each day) compound into massive results over time. James Clear explains that habits work like compound interest—making small, consistent improvements leads to exponential growth. If you improve by just 1% every day, you'll be 37 times better after a year. The key takeaway? Focus on small, consistent progress rather than dramatic overnight changes. Instead of trying to overhaul your life all at once, commit to tiny, sustainable improvements that stack up over time. 🚀 2) Identity-Based Habits – Instead of focusing on goals, build an identity (e.g., "I am the type of person who..."). Most people focus on what they want to achieve, but Clear argues that a more powerful approach is focusing on who you want to become. For example, instead of saying, "I want to get fit," say, "I am a person who never misses a workout." By shifting your identity, habits become part of who you are, making them easier to stick with. 🦾 3) The Habit Loop (Cue, Craving, Response, Reward) – Understanding how habits form helps in shaping better ones. Every habit follows this four-step loop: ✅Cue: A trigger that starts the habit (e.g., seeing your phone reminds you to check social media). ✅Craving: The motivation or desire behind the habit (e.g., wanting to feel entertained or distracted). ✅Response: The actual action you take (e.g., scrolling Instagram). ✅Reward: The benefit you get (e.g., a dopamine hit from seeing likes and comments). By recognizing this loop, you can design better habits by making good cues obvious and bad cues invisible. 4) Environment Design – Make good habits easy and bad habits hard. Your environment shapes your behavior more than willpower does. If you want to read more, leave a book on your pillow. If you want to eat healthier, keep fruits visible and junk food out of sight. Want to stop checking your phone? Place it in another room while working. The easier a habit is, the more likely you’ll do it—so set up your surroundings for success instead of relying on motivation alone. 🏞️
