When I wake up I immediately reach for the bottle. I may not drink that much water, but even a couple refreshing sips first thing in the morning have become really really enjoyable. I haven\u2019t been doing this that long, and I\u2019ve already developed such a fondness for this particular habit that I can\u2019t imagine mornings without it already &#8211; and it\u2019s really so simple, all you need to do is fill a water bottle!<br \/>\nThen, because my vitamins are right beside my water I just naturally take them, because they are right there. So easy to access.<br \/>\nIf I don\u2019t eat relatively quickly after taking vitamins I start to feel a bit sick, so having taken the vitamins it really prompts me to get up and get myself some food ASAP. Luckily for me I already have pretty healthy breakfast habits, so it\u2019s not so hard for me to make sure I eat something healthy. Donuts and coffee have never been my breakfast of choice.<br \/>\nAs far as the exercise goes, I think I still need to find a way to trigger that step of the routine. It still doesn\u2019t feel entirely natural to fit in for me. <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-4158765190\"><div id=\"thefa-4151794588\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Start making your days count<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Try now<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lina P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Fabulous is great for establishing them.

As soon as my alarm goes off I drink water. Then I only have a small window of time to launch into my exercise before I get hungry for breakfast. Then once I have worked out I can eat breakfast. The sooner I do these things the less I procastinate, feel bad and set a negative mindset for the day.

Showing myself what I can have after doing certain things or sticking to habits makes me more prone to doing it, and when I\u2019ve held onto the habit it\u2019s integrated into my routine so it doesn\u2019t feel like something I could live without, because I\u2019m so used to doing it. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Julien Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">i think my favorite trigger is my breakfast.
