Now let's move onto five actionable exercises you could implement based on what you learned from "Atomic Habits":

1) Start small – choose one tiny habit (like drinking water first thing when waking up) which would take less than two minutes each day. Do this consistently every day for at least two weeks.
2) Use habit stacking – add one new habit after an existing one (like doing ten squats after brushing teeth).
3) Create an implementation intention – plan ahead when/where/how you'll do something (for example - "I'll meditate for five minutes right after I finish dinner").
4) Make bad behaviors more difficult - remove temptations or obstacles associated with unwanted behaviors (such as disabling notifications or blocking certain websites).
5) Join or create an accountability group - find people who share similar goals/habits as yourself or create a group where everyone shares their progress towards their goals regularly.


Overall, "Atomic Habits" provides excellent insight into understanding why we do what we do while offering practical strategies for building good ones. By implementing these strategies into everyday life through action-oriented exercises like those listed above, anyone has potential success towards achieving their desired outcomes!
