Power of Habits
Video demonstrates how repetition is critical to establishing a habit
Source: YouTube Videos
FACILITATOR NOTES
The video clip demonstrates that once our habits are established, they become part of our “routine”
Habits become something that we do without thinking about it, like a natural reaction

6. Group Discussion Forming A New Habit
You’ve chosen 5 new personal habits that you will need to work at making part of your everyday routine.
Creating a new habit requires that you repeat the desired actions over and over until the track in your brain is firmly established. It then becomes a normal part of your daily routine, just like brushing your teeth!
Discuss how you develop habits by making them a “routine”.
FACILITATOR NOTES
Its important that students feel comfortable in sharing their perspectives with the group. Make sure that everyone that wishes to speak is heard.

7. For each of your new habits, think of a few:
“Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
For each of your new habits, think of a few:
Thoughts
Words
Actions
that you would reinforce your new habit
FACILITATOR NOTES
This is intended to be a personal exercise for each student to apply to their own list of 5 habits
This exercise is continued on the next side- providing students more guidance on how to accomplish this task

8. How to “Trigger” Your Habit Routine
Group Discussion
How to “Trigger” Your Habit Routine
DISCUSS
Example habit: Have the courage to do the right thing
Thoughts
I should make an effort to intervene when someone is being made fun of or is excluded
Words
“I think your new glasses are cool”
Actions
Inviting someone different to my lunch table
FACILITATOR NOTES
Students need to consider what circumstances, words, or other things that might “trigger” them to put a new habit into action
Talk through the thoughts, words and actions used to illustrate how someone might implement the selected habit
Ask students to share an example with one of their habits
This insight will help students make a new habit part of their routine behavior
A trigger is something that tells your mind to start the habit routine.
