Phase 2 – Building Momentum
Now that you’ve laid the foundation, it’s time to build momentum. In Phase 2 (Days 36-65), the focus shifts to strengthening the habits and routines you started in Phase 1, making them feel more natural and effortless.
What to Expect in This Phase
- Strengthen the habits and routines you’ve built.
- Increase consistency—refining what works and adjusting what doesn’t.
- Use habit stacking to make new habits easier to stick with.
- Challenge limiting beliefs and work on mindset shifts.
- Track progress, reflect, and make adjustments along the way.
Habit Stacking: The Key to Effortless Growth
What is Habit Stacking?
Instead of trying to form new habits from scratch, you attach them to habits you already have. This makes them easier to remember and helps them become part of your daily routine without extra effort
Examples of Habit Stacking:
- After I brush my teeth, I will drink a glass of water.
- Before I start work, I will take three deep breaths.
- While waiting for my coffee to brew, I will do 10 squats.
- After I check my planner, I will write down one thing I’m grateful for.
💡 For the next couple of weeks, experiment with habit stacking by attaching small positive habits to existing routines.
Don’t Forget to Track Your Progress!
Week 6 – Strengthening & Refining Habits
Focus: Build consistency with the habits you started in Phase 1.
Adjustments: If something isn’t working, tweak it instead of giving up.
Implementation: Use habit stacking to make new habits effortless.
How to Strengthen Your Habits:
- If a habit feels inconsistent, ask yourself why. Are you trying to do too much at once? Does it need a trigger to remind you?
- If a habit feels easy, build on it. If you’ve consistently worked out once a week, try twice. If you’re drinking more water, set a bigger goal.
- If a habit isn’t working, adjust it. Instead of dropping it completely, scale it back and make it easier to follow.
Reflection at the End of Week 6:
- What habits are working well, and which ones need adjustments?
- How can I make my habits easier to follow?
- What habit can I improve by stacking it onto something I already do?
Week 7: Optimizing Your Morning & Evening Routines
Focus: Optimize your morning and evening routines for better results.
Adjustments: What’s working? What isn’t? Remove what feels unnecessary.
Implementation: Test small routine tweaks to improve flow and effectiveness.
Morning Routine Adjustments:
- What’s the first thing you do when you wake up? Does it set the right tone for your day?
- Do you rush through your mornings? If so, what small change could make it smoother?
- What’s one habit you could add to make your mornings feel more productive and intentional?
Evening Routine Adjustments:
- Are your evenings relaxing or filled with distractions?
- What helps you sleep better, and what interferes with your rest?
- What’s one wind-down habit you can add to signal to your body that it’s time to rest?
Reflection at the End of Week 7:
- What’s the best part of my morning and evening routines?
- What slows me down or feels unnecessary?

Week 8: Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
Focus: Recognize and challenge thoughts that hold you back.
Adjustments: Replace negative self-talk with positive, growth-focused thinking.
Implementation: Identify one limiting belief and reframe it this week.
How to Challenge Limiting Beliefs:
- “I’m bad at sticking to habits.” → “I’m learning how to be consistent.”
- “I always fail when I try new things.” → “Every setback teaches me something valuable.”
- “I’ll never be productive.” → “I can improve my focus by making small adjustments.”
Mindset matters. The way you talk to yourself shapes your actions and results.
Reflection at the End of Week 8:
- What self-limiting beliefs have held me back in the past?
- How can I reframe them to support my growth?
- What’s one positive belief I want to reinforce?
Week 9: Evaluating Progress & Adjusting
Focus: Assess your progress and make any final adjustments before Phase 3.
Adjustments: Identify what habits need reinforcement or modifications.
Implementation: Set a clear action plan for the next phase.
