My Story
“When you hit rock bottom, you have nowhere
to go but up.” — Pattie Mallette
Despite a bright and sunny day, I was
completely drained. No energy. No motivation.
As I looked around my cluttered apartment, I
felt suffocated by the weight of my bad habits.
My physical and mental health sucked. I barely
kept up with work, and my relationships were
crumbling.
Growing up, I was always a dreamer with big
aspirations. But as the years passed, life got in
the way.
I was juggling multiple responsibilities, and the
stress took a toll on my mental and physical
well-being. I found myself stuck in a vicious
cycle of procrastination, junk food binges, and
endless scrolling through social media.

My dreams were slipping away, and I felt like I
was losing control over my life.
Every day as I lay in bed, I couldn't shake the
feeling that I was wasting my potential. I
realized that if I didn't change my habits, my life
would continue to spiral downward.
One night, I made a promise to myself: I would
do whatever it took to turn my life around and
reclaim my lost mojo.
The next morning, I began searching for
answers.
I devoured books, articles, podcasts, and
videos on personal development, productivity,
and habit formation.
Slowly, I learned about the science behind
habits and the powerful mental techniques that
could help me overcome my self-destructive
patterns.
As I applied these lessons to my life, I started to
see changes. I was no longer stuck in life.

I began to wake up earlier, exercise regularly,
and make healthier food choices. (I don’t urge
you to adopt the same habits. Choose what is
holding you back.)
My productivity skyrocketed, and my
relationships improved.
I felt like I was finally becoming the person I
always knew I could be.
But the journey wasn't without its challenges.
I faced setbacks and failures along the way.
There were times when I wanted to give up, to
revert to my old ways.
But with each obstacle, I learned valuable
lessons about resilience, self-compassion, and
the power of consistency.
Slowly but surely, I transformed my life, one
habit at a time.
It wasn't easy, but it was worth it.
Today, I am happier, healthier, and more
fulfilled than ever before.

[email protected]I still have some bad habits, but I am glad I’ve
finally found a system to keep my life on track.
And now, I want to share my journey and the
lessons I've learned with you.
That's why I created this book, From Stuck to
Unstoppable: A 7-Day Mental Reset Program– to
help you harness the power of science-backed
habit-building principles, practical actions, and
mental techniques to transform your life.
I know firsthand how hard it can be to break
free from bad habits, and I want to offer you the
support, guidance, and tools you need to make
lasting change.
In this guide, you'll find a step-by-step plan for
breaking the chains of your bad habits and
creating new, empowering ones - to unstuck
yourself.
You'll learn about the habit loop, the science of
motivation, and the power of visualization,
among other valuable techniques.

I invite you to join me on this journey to commit
to becoming 1% better every day.
The reason you should focus on tiny gains is they
compound over time to cause a massive
transformation. James Clear's explanation of the
power of tiny changes is impeccable.
So, let's get started.

A Deeper Dive
Just sit idle leaving everything aside. Look
through the window.
Within five minutes you’ll be reflecting on your
life. I bet you will.
You’ll realize it's time for change.
Bam!
That's when the magic happens. But only if you
seize the moment and do something with this
mental strike.
Here’s how:
Identify the habits that are holding you back.
Write down all the habits – good and bad.
You’ll write good ones first because it will make
you feel confident about yourself
Your self-esteem will rise instantly. And you
won’t feel overwhelmed looking at your bad
habits. Sold to
9
[email protected]My secret sauce is to write alternative ones next
to your bad habits.
I remember when I was stuck in a rut, wasting
hours on mindless scrolling. I decided to swap
that for reading, and it was a game-changer.
At first, it was a little challenging – I mean, have
you ever tried to quit the endless dopamine hits
from the internet?
It's like trying to give up potato chips when
you're surrounded by mountains of them.
But I persisted, and eventually, my brain
rewired itself to crave the intellectual
stimulation from reading.
Now, let's set a bold SMART goal.
For example, my goal was to read 20 pages
every day. It was specific, measurable,
achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
To uncover the real motivations behind your
goal, apply the Five Whys technique like a
tenacious detective.

[email protected]First why: Why do I want to give up mindless
scrolling?
Answer: I can’t find time to read books.
Second why: Why do I want to read Books?
Answer: To gain knowledge and immerse my
mind into something positive.
Third why: Why do I want my mind to get
positivity pills?
Answer: To think right in every situation.
Fourth why: Why do I want think right in every
situation?
Answer: To prevent overthinking that give birth
to anxiety, and loser-like feelings.
Fifth why: Why do I want to prevent
overthinking?
Answer: They paralyze my actions and prevent
me from taking new challenges and use my full
potential.
Sold to
11
[email protected]See how a tiny bad habit of mindlessly scrolling
is linked to NOT GROWING in life. And it also
shows what you really think of yourself.
When I did this, I realized that reading was my
ticket to a more creative and inspired life.
It was like discovering a hidden doorway to a
world I never knew existed. I had no idea that
books could be such a catalyst for personal
growth and self-improvement.
Next, let's talk about visualization.
Visualization is the act of mentally rehearsing
your success. Imagine yourself successfully
performing your new habit, engaging all your
senses.
Picture it so vividly that it feels like you're
already living it.
For example, if your goal is to start running
every morning, imagine the feeling of your feet
hitting the pavement, the sound of your breath,
the smell of the fresh air, and the sense of
accomplishment when you finish your run.
Sold to
12
[email protected]Spend 5 minutes daily visualizing your success.
This will help you create a powerful mental
blueprint for your new habit and keep you
motivated to make it a reality.
Action:
So, grab a pen and paper and start listing your
habits.
Dive deep into your Five Whys, set your SMART
goal, and visualize your success.
Remember the time when I told you about my
reading goal?
One day, I was so engrossed in a book that I
completely lost track of time. When I finally
looked up, I realized I had been reading for
three hours straight, and my family had left for
dinner without me!
I couldn't help but laugh at the irony – I had
traded one extreme for another.
But hey, at least I was feeding my mind with
knowledge and not just memes. Sold to

Habit Loop
Mastery &
Mindfulness
What you’ll learn:
Understand the habit loop: Cue, Routine,
Reward
Practice mindfulness during your daily
routine to identify the cues and rewards
associated with your target habit
Start creating a new habit loop by replacing
the old routine with a positive one
Use a reminder app or post-it notes to
reinforce your habit cues
Sold to
15
[email protected]A Deeper Dive:
Let's crack the code of habit formation.
It's like a heist movie where you have to
understand the security system to break in.
The habit loop consists of the Cue, Routine, and
Reward.
It's the holy trinity of habit change!
Now, put your Sherlock hat on and identify the
cues and rewards linked to your target habit.
I found that boredom was my cue for mindless
scrolling, and the reward was instant
entertainment.
Cue (Boredom)
Routine (Mindless Scrolling)
Reward (Entertainment)
Sold to

[email protected]
To switch things up, I replaced the scrolling with
reading, creating a brand new habit loop.
Let's get practical: Write down your habit loop
and keep it somewhere visible.
If you know the times when you’ll be free from
your work and bored, note those times. Feed
them into your reminder app on phone to
remind you “what you should do now.”
This will prevent you from living life on Auto-
pilot.
It's like a blueprint for your new life. Trust me, it
works.
I remember one time when I was waiting for my
dentist appointment, and I felt the familiar urge
to pull out my phone and start scrolling.
But then, I caught myself and instead pulled out
a book from my bag. Not only did I get through a
few pages, but I also had a great conversation
with another patient about the book I was
reading.
Sold to
17
[email protected]
It was a small victory, but it showed me the
power of being mindful and breaking the habit
loop.
Now it's your turn.
Action:
Start by practicing mindfulness during your
daily routine to identify the cues and rewards
associated with your target habit. Be aware of
the moments when you're most likely to slip
into autopilot and engage in your old routine.
Catch yourself in the act, and start creating a
new habit loop by replacing the old routine with
a positive one.
Next, use a reminder app or Post-it notes to
reinforce your habit cues.
For example, if you're trying to drink more
water, you can set reminders on your phone to
Sold to

[email protected]
drink a glass of water every hour, or place post-
it notes on your fridge, bathroom mirror, and
computer monitor.
The more visible your cues, the more likely you
are to stick to your new habit.
So there you have it – Day 2 is all about habit
loop mastery and mindfulness.
By understanding the habit loop and being
mindful of your daily routine, you'll be well on
your way to breaking free from your bad habits
and creating new, empowering ones.
Remember, the key to success is mindfulness
and consistency. Keep practicing, and soon
you'll be a master of habit change.
Up next is Day 3, where we'll explore the power
of tiny habits, implementation intentions, and
positive affirmations to make your habit change
journey even more effective.

Day 3:
Tiny Habits,
Intentions &
Affirmations
What you’ll learn:
Break down your habit into small,
manageable steps (tiny habits)
Use implementation intentions: "When [cue],
I will [routine]"
Create a positive affirmation related to your
habit (e.g., "I am committed to exercising
daily for better health.")
Repeat the affirmation out loud or in your
mind, especially when you encounter
obstacles
Sold to
21
[email protected]A Deeper Dive:
Break your habit into bite-sized pieces – like
slicing up a Royale with Cheese.
Tiny habits make the process less intimidating
and easier to stick to. I started by reading just 5
pages a day and gradually increased it.
Next, use implementation intentions to create a
mental script:
"When [cue], I will [routine]."
For me, it was, "When I feel bored, I will read a
book instead of scrolling.
"See how that works?
Now, visualize yourself in action, like you're the
star of your own movie.
Think about the last time you successfully
implemented a new habit. Did you have a clear
plan in place? Did you know exactly what to do
when faced with a specific cue?
Sold to
22
[email protected]
Chances are, having a solid plan made all the
difference. That's the power of implementation
intentions.
Now, let's add some motivational fuel to the fire
with positive affirmations.
Create a positive affirmation related to your
habit (e.g., "I am committed to exercising daily
for better health.") and repeat it out loud or in
your mind, especially when you encounter
obstacles.
Do it within 10 minutes of waking up. The
doorway to the subconscious mind is open at
that time. They help you rewire your brain and
stay focused on your goals.
Whenever I faced the temptation to slip back
into my old scrolling habit, I would remind
myself, "I am a reader who values knowledge
and growth." This affirmation helped me stay
committed to my new habit.

[email protected]
Action time:
Write down your implementation intention,
visualize it daily, and watch yourself transform
into the hero you were meant to be. Also, create
a powerful affirmation and repeat it whenever
you need an extra boost of motivation.
So, there you have it – your plan for Day 3.
By focusing on tiny habits, implementation
intentions, and positive affirmations, you'll be
well-equipped to tackle any challenges that
come your way.
Remember, change doesn't happen overnight. It
takes time, effort, and dedication.
But with the right tools and mindset, you can
achieve your goals and become the best version
of yourself.

Day 4:
Accountability,
Social Support &
Sharing Progress
What you’ll learn:
Share your goal with a friend or family
member for accountability
Join a supportive online community or find
a habit buddy
Leverage positive peer pressure by sharing
your daily progress with your support
network
Use a habit-tracking app to monitor your
consistency and celebrate milestones

[email protected]A Deeper Dive:
You're doing great, but every hero needs a
sidekick, right?
Accountability is like the gym buddy who forces
you to do those extra reps when you'd rather be
eating pizza.
It's that magical ingredient that makes you stick
to your commitment even when the going gets
tough.
I decided to run a half marathon. But, the
thought of running 13.1 miles was as daunting as
climbing Mount Everest. So, I enlisted a friend
to join me, and we held each other accountable
throughout the training.
And you know what? We both crossed the finish
line with big, goofy grins on our faces.
Find your tribe – a group of people who share
your goals and can support you on your
journey.

[email protected]
It could be a friend, family member, or an online
community. Share your progress with them, and
you'll be more likely to stay on track.
Remember that time you shared your New
Year's resolution on social media? I bet you felt
more compelled to stick to it, right? That's the
power of social support.
Now, combine accountability with sharing your
progress. This adds a pinch of fun and
competition to the mix.
Set up a group chat where everyone can share
their daily achievements, and you'll soon be
racing to outdo each other.
Action time:
Find your accountability partner or group, share
your goals, and start updating them on your
progress. Embrace the power of social support,
and watch your motivation skyrocket.

Day 5:
Habit Stacking,
Environment &
Precommitment
What you’ll learn:
Stack your new habit with an existing one to
establish a routine (e.g., "After I brush my
teeth, I will meditate for 5 minutes.")
Optimize your environment to support your
new habit (e.g., place workout clothes next
to your bed)
Use precommitment strategies, like
scheduling the habit into your calendar or
setting a reminder
Remove distractions and triggers for
unwanted habits
Sold to
30
[email protected]A Deeper Dive:
Ever heard of the saying, "The whole is greater
than the sum of its parts"?
That's the idea behind habit stacking.
By combining your new habit with an existing
one, you create a powerful routine that's hard
to break.
For example, I started listening to audiobooks
while doing household chores.
Soon, I couldn't wait to clean the house because
it meant more books! Talk about killing two
birds with one stone.
Next up: environmental design.
Your surroundings have a massive impact on
your habits, so make sure they're working for
you, not against you.
Rearrange your furniture, declutter your space,
or add reminders of your goals to your
environment.

31
[email protected]When I wanted to read more, I placed a book on
my bedside table, so it was the first thing I saw
when I woke up and the last thing I saw before
sleeping.
No more phone scrolling for me!
Precommitment is like a safety net for your
willpower.
By making it difficult or expensive to revert to
your old habits, you'll be more likely to stick to
your new routine.
For example, I donated all my junk food to a
food bank and filled my pantry with healthy
snacks.
It was a win-win situation.
Action time:
Stack your new habit with an existing one,
design your environment for success, and
precommit to your goals. You'll be amazed at
how much easier it is to stay on track.

Day 6:
Celebrate Small
Wins, Rewards &
Gratitude
What you’ll learn:
Acknowledge and celebrate your progress,
no matter how small
Set up a reward system to reinforce your
new habit (e.g., treat yourself to a movie
after a week of consistent exercise)
Practice gratitude by listing three things
you're grateful for each day, focusing on
your progress and growth
Share your gratitude with your support
network to reinforce positive emotions
Sold to
34
[email protected]A Deeper Dive:
One day, when I had successfully hit my 20-
pages-a-day reading goal for two weeks, I
rewarded myself with a night of binge-watching
my favorite show.
I felt so proud and content, I couldn't help but
grin like the Cheshire cat.
Celebrate your small wins. Every. Single. Time.
It's like a high-five for your brain, and it keeps
you motivated.
These tiny victories make a huge difference in
your progress, so don't be shy about giving
yourself a pat on the back.
Remember when I read 5 pages a day?
I celebrated by treating myself to a small,
healthy snack. The reward made it even more
enjoyable, and I was more likely to stick to the
habit.
Sold to
35
[email protected]
When setting up your reward system, make sure
it aligns with your goals.
For example, if your goal is to exercise daily,
don't reward yourself with a bucket of fries.
Instead, opt for something that supports your
new habit, like a new workout outfit or a
massage.
Gratitude is the cherry on top of your habit
change sundae.
By expressing gratitude for the progress you've
made, you'll reinforce the positive emotions
associated with your new habits.
Every night before bed, I write down three
things I'm grateful for in a journal.
This simple practice has transformed my
mindset and made me appreciate my
achievements even more.
Sold to
36
[email protected]
When you practice gratitude, you shift your
focus from what's missing in your life to what's
already present.
This mindset shift makes it easier to maintain
your motivation and stay committed to your
new habits.
Now, let's get real for a moment.
We all have bad days. Days when we just want
to throw in the towel and binge on junk food
while wallowing in self-pity.
But guess what?
It's okay to have setbacks. What matters is how
you bounce back and keep pushing forward.
When you stumble, don't beat yourself up.
Instead, use it as an opportunity to learn and
grow. Ask yourself what went wrong and how
you can prevent it from happening again. Then,
pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back
on track.

A Deeper Dive:
You've come a long way!
It's time to reflect on your journey, celebrate
your progress, and plan for long-term success.
Reflection is like a GPS system for your personal
growth.
It helps you understand where you are, where
you've been, and where you're heading.
Take some time to review your progress,
identify areas for improvement, and make any
necessary adjustments to your plan.
Adaptation is the name of the game.
Life is full of curveballs, and you need to be
ready to pivot when necessary. If something
isn't working, don't be afraid to tweak your
approach.
Remember, the only constant in life is change,
so embrace it and learn to adapt.
Sold to
41
[email protected]
Planning for long-term success involves setting
new goals and creating a roadmap for achieving
them.
Revisit your SMART goals and make any
necessary updates.
Then, break down your goals into smaller,
manageable milestones and set deadlines for
achieving them.
Mental rehearsal is the secret weapon of top
athletes, performers, and successful people
worldwide.
By visualizing yourself achieving your goals,
you're priming your brain for success.
Spend a few minutes each day visualizing
yourself successfully performing your new
habits and reaching your goals.
Engage all your senses – see the vivid colors,
hear the sounds, feel the emotions, and even
smell the scents associated with your success.
Sold to

[email protected]
The more detailed your mental rehearsal, the
more powerful its impact on your motivation
and performance.
For example, when I was training for my half
marathon, I would visualize myself crossing the
finish line, exhausted but triumphant.
I could hear the cheers of the crowd and feel
the sweat and exhilaration coursing through my
body.
This mental rehearsal kept me motivated and
focused on my goal.
But don't just stop at visualizing your success.
Also, mentally rehearse how you'll handle
potential setbacks and obstacles.
This prepares your mind for challenges and
helps you develop resilience.

Finally, keep the momentum going. As you
achieve your goals, set new ones, and continue
pushing yourself to grow and evolve.
Remember, personal growth is a lifelong
journey, not a destination.

Reflect on your progress, adapt your approach
if needed, and plan for long-term success.
Incorporate mental rehearsal into your daily
routine and keep the momentum going by
setting new goals as you achieve the old ones.
