Russ Harris, author of several popular ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Training/Therapy) books, offers a framework of 7 "R"s that can help support action in its early stages:
Reminders - using apps, timers, or other means to remind us of the new behavior
Records - keeping track of our behavior throughout the day
Rewards - giving ourselves positive reinforcement for engaging in a behavior
Routines - building the new behavior around an existing daily habit
Relationships - finding a friend to do the new behavior with, or who you can talk to about the progress you’re making
Reflecting - taking time to reflect on the progress you’re making through journaling, discussion with a friend, or in your mind
Restructuring - making changes to the environment to make it easier to do the new behavior – i.e., throwing out unhealthy food or preparing at night for a morning run.
