Last time you audited your daily habits. Now let's find your keystone behaviors - the special habits that trigger positive changes across your entire life.

Think of keystone behaviors like dominos. When you tip one over, it creates a chain reaction that affects everything else.

Name one habit you've adopted that set off a domino of other positive changes?

Keystone behaviors are habits that naturally lead to other good habits. When you exercise regularly, you often start eating better, sleeping more, and feeling more confident.

One keystone behavior creates a cascade of positive changes without extra effort.

What was the very first ripple effect you noticed after starting that habit?

Here's what makes a habit "keystone": it shifts your identity and creates momentum. When you see yourself as someone who exercises, you naturally make choices that align with that identity.

The habit changes how you see yourself, which changes everything else.
