“Learning the Power of Habit from Howard Schultz, Founder of Starbucks”
🧠 The Brain Lives in Energy-Saving ModeOur brain is wired to use as little energy as possible.Once something becomes a habit, the brain runs it on autopilot — and that’s the same mode the subconscious mind operates in.That’s why we often don’t question it. It’s like walking to the station out of habit and realizing you don’t remember anything about the scenery on the way.
This mechanism works for both good and bad habits. So if you’ve built a habit like grabbing your phone first thing in the morning, you can retrain your brain simply by replacing it with a better habit.
🎧 Upgrade the Quality of Your Mood ResetInstead of scrolling your phone when you need a mental break, try:🎵 Listening to music🚶♀️ Taking a short walk☕ Taking a deep breath while brewing your coffee mindfullyThese small replacements are the first step to changing your habits.(You can even start with simple morning stretches or “radio exercises” — why not? 😊)
💪 The Power of Morning MovementHoward Schultz begins his morning with a walk with his dog and aerobic exercise.This isn’t just for health — it’s also a reset mechanism that keeps him from falling back into unproductive habits.
By moving your body, your brain registers through its reward system:“I’m moving forward.”“I’m doing something good for myself.”
You can visualize yourself becoming healthier day by day.And the best part? It’s free.Your subconscious mind is your most powerful built-in resource — and everyone has it.
🧘♀️ The Power of Visualization in MeditationWhen you meditate, don’t just relax — visualize the best version of yourself.Because meditation works directly with the subconscious, it becomes an incredibly powerful tool when combined with visualization.
Having big dreams also includes visualization. In technical terms, it’s a way to use your subconscious mind to create the future you desire — in a quantum, energetic sense.
On the other hand, when you say things like:“I can’t because I’m not educated enough,”“I don’t have money,” or “I’m just not that kind of person,”you are also visualizing the version of yourself you don’t want to be — and feeding it into your subconscious.
🔑 The Key to Success Is Self-DisciplineHoward Schultz once said:
“The most important thing for our employees isn’t IQ — it’s self-discipline.”
Self-discipline is a skill anyone can strengthen. You don’t have to be a genius; you just have to make it part of your habit.That’s why habits are the most efficient way to train self-discipline.
The real secret is that habits allow you to take continuous, long-term action.Talent matters, but persistence often wins.That’s what we mean when we say, “Consistency is power.”
