Episode 63

The Two-Day Rule might be the most powerful habit-building strategy you've never heard of. In this engaging episode, Julie and Catherine explore this deceptively simple approach to creating lasting behavior change – never miss more than two consecutive days of your healthy habit.

We dive deep into why most habit-building attempts fail, often around day three or four when our brains start generating resistance and excuses. The Two-Day Rule elegantly addresses this challenge by maintaining momentum through inevitable life disruptions while removing the perfectionism that derails so many health goals.

What makes this approach particularly effective is how it builds self-trust. Each time you honor your commitment after a brief lapse, you create evidence that you can keep promises to yourself. This self-trust extends beyond single habits and reshapes how you view your capabilities.

Along the way, we explore complementary strategies like Mel Robbins' famous 5-4-3-2-1 technique, the psychological power of high-fives, and how habit stacking can automate your new behaviors by connecting them to existing routines. We also examine the fascinating relationship between consistent habits and identity formation – how repeated behaviors eventually transform from something you're trying to do into simply who you are.

Whether you're struggling with establishing a meditation practice, consistent exercise routine, healthier eating patterns, or any other positive habit, the Two-Day Rule offers a practical framework for finally making those changes stick. Share your experiences with this approach in our Facebook group – we'd love to hear which habits you're building!

Speaker 1:

Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode of the podcast.

Speaker 2:

You're still laughing at me, aren't you? I feel like I should give you some papers so you could shuffle like for the news at 10. And then I thought I was really upbeat. Then as well, I loved it. No, it was good. It was good. I was laughing before you even started talking. Tell him what we're doing, julie. Oh jeez.

Speaker 1:

Like. We are professional people, we need to get our act together. Well, we should, shouldn't we? Okay? So today we are going to talk about the two-day rule. Yes, what's the two-day rule? Well, it's quite simple. It's just looking at when you have these habits or you've got a schedule of things that you're doing and then suddenly something happens and you fall off the wagon. So, whether you're not drinking alcohol or you're exercising or whatever it is that you're doing, if you miss two days, you've got to get back on the wagon. So it's okay to miss two days, days, but if you miss more than that, then weeks go by, months go by, years go by and you haven't got back on the wagon.

Speaker 2:

yeah, absolutely so. This is to do with implementing like new habits, isn't it so? Trying to get them as part of your identity, as part of the the system of how you, how you work. It kind of fits in with like habit stacking as well. It would be a really nice way. So if you had a, a new habit that you wanted to create, perhaps you could attach it to something else I love habit stacking and then use that two day rule to make sure that you continued to do it yeah.

Speaker 1:

So it's like it's an awareness exercise again, isn't it? Because you realize, oh, I haven't gone for my walk today, or I haven't done my meditation, or whatever it is, for two days. Then you just go, whatever happens on the third day I have to do something that's related to that healthy habit that I'm trying to build. Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 2:

And I love that because you know life life doesn't it, and these things sometimes your day gets totally derailed and you can have planned it to the best of your ability and something is going to happen and that's fine. Chances are, unless it's a big thing, chances are it's not going to happen the next day and the next day and there's that real danger moment. You coined it earlier on. It's like that. I was going to say OK, but sod it.

Speaker 1:

I think we all know the sod it moment when it comes to diets. When it comes to diets, yeah, whenever we've done a diet in the past, we've always had a sod it moment where we've we've come away from our diet and then we've decided that we've messed up. So we may as well just eat the entire packet of biscuits or the entire box of maltesers or whatever it is, and then we never get back on track afterwards.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you're saying that. So julie and I will be divulging more about, uh, the, the eating plan that we have been messing around with recently. But for the weeks and I like a rule as much as I'd like to kick against it I like a rule. So for the weeks that we've been sticking to these, these rules, it's been fine. And then, suddenly, for the weeks that we're not sticking to these rules, there'll be chocolate that normally I wouldn't eat, but I'm like I'm allowed, you gave yourself permission, I'm allowed.

Speaker 2:

And then I go and eat it and then I'm like that's so interesting. I mean, yeah, it's, it's just, it's just hilarious Cause I wouldn't normally have even have even thought about it. But yeah, going against that, it's again like setting those, those rules for yourself. I quite like the rules for, sort of, when you, when you stop eating in the at the end of the, at the end of the day day, so you have your main meal, um, I can't remember if it was somebody said like have, uh, like, a chamomile tea or something or a, yeah, some sort of herbal tea as your finale, and, and it'd be symbolic of you stopping like this is it?

Speaker 2:

I'm gonna drink this, this is me done eating and drinking, perhaps other than water, for the rest of the night, and so, again, that's another rule that I that I really like yeah, talking about tea and you saying it's the end of, like that eating window.

Speaker 1:

I use my tea in the evening as a start of my bedtime routine. Yeah, so when I'm ready to go into my bedtime routine, I go and make myself a sleepy tea. Yep, and so that's the start of that. Yeah, so yeah, the rules or the routine is really helpful, isn't it? Because it reinforces your habits?

Speaker 2:

yeah, absolutely yeah. So then I imagine, if you're trying to add something into your sleep routine or you're like working up to sleep routine, you slot it in there, don't you? You have your tea, maybe you I don't know have slotted whatever you're trying to trying to add into it there and then it, yeah, you're more likely to succeed, you're more likely to keep doing it yeah, I find that it's like the first domino that you then push and then it all these other things click into place.

Speaker 1:

because it's really funny if I'm in a situation where I'm not able to make my tea or say I'm out and I may be having a drink with a friend or something, then that not having the tea doesn't kick off that entire routine. If I'm out and I've say, instead of having my tea, I've had a glass of wine, then I know at that point that I'm going in a different direction. Obviously you accept it, because it's not all the time, but I think I'm more aware of those things. That's really interesting.

Speaker 2:

When I do my routine of cold water immersion, I often do some breathing and some meditation whilst I'm in the pod. It often is the only thing that gets me into the pod. Lots of big, deep breaths, I can imagine. And and then when I go upstairs to have a shower or bath, I often do my foot scraping or my foot wiping on my mat and if I haven't been in my pod I don't often think just independently about doing my foot wiping because you've connected it to that sequence of events, haven't you?

Speaker 1:

yeah?

Speaker 2:

so it's really interesting. So I guess actually, when you remember that you haven't done something and maybe part the two-day rule is part of this perhaps it's looking at what leads up to you making you do that, whatever it is, and perhaps you've stopped doing something else, like the step before yeah, because when we're looking at habits, there's always a trigger, isn't there?

Speaker 1:

yeah, there's a trigger, and then there's the thought, and then there's an argument that you have with yourself about why or or when you're going to do the thing that you know is not good for you. You have that conversation, don't you? Yeah, it's like the trigger is something stressful has just happened. Therefore, I'm looking for something to calm me down. Sod it.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to eat chocolate, sod it, I'm going to drink a glass of wine.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, and you have those moments, but it's one thing leads to the next, leads to the next. So, yeah, if you go back and then find out what is the thing that you need to do to get the good dominoes to fall. Yes, I suppose, yeah absolutely.

Speaker 2:

And another rule.

Speaker 2:

So when we were talking about this episode, we were talking about other rules that we use within our lives, and that's just reminding me of Mel Robbins' 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Speaker 2:

It's such a good one, isn't it? So when you have thought I one, it's such a good one, isn't it? And when you so, when you have thought, I mean, it's a good way, it gets me up in the morning, every morning actually. But when you have thought you have that that split second thought of the thing that you know you and I don't like this word very much, but you know you should do, you know it would be beneficial to you to do this, and if you think about it for too long, you're going to talk yourself out of it because it might be uncomfortable. Right, it might be that you are stopping yourself doing something that's lovely, like eating chocolate or like drinking a glass of wine, and you do your five, four, three, two, one, and then you go and do whatever it is that you that potentially, you might talk yourself out of and we do this with children when they're younger and they're learning something new.

Speaker 1:

we count them in, don't we? Yeah, yeah, we do that. And I and I still do that for myself with some of my gymnastic stuff. When I'm on the edge of the beam, yeah, that's do a backwards somersault off. It's really scary. So in my head well, initially I would count it out loud, yeah, but now I do it in my head one, two, three, go, and then I have to go, yeah. So, yeah, it makes sense, that doesn't it?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, not the same as counting down to the children when they're a bit naughty. Yeah Three.

Speaker 1:

If I get three? If I get to three, no, it's the other way around. One, yeah, if I get to three, do not let me get to three. Yeah, they don't know what's gonna happen. We don't even know what's gonna happen, but do not let me get to three. That's so funny. We do that, don't we?

Speaker 2:

that's in without spoiling anything. That's in bridget jones in the new movie. She does that to the kids and it's and you, and she's narrating in her head I don't know what, what I'm going to do when I get to three, three and a half four, oh my goodness, it's so funny. I've tried that fairly recently with all of my teenage children. Oh, how old was that they just look at me, did they, as if to say, yeah, go on, keep counting.

Speaker 2:

It's really funny because I feel like if my mum did that to me, you'd get on and actually get I'd be like, oh, she's got to hurry up, but it's such a knee-jerk reaction where they don't do as they're asked to just count one, yeah, and then you've got to put consequences in place, otherwise there's no point to it right, no, absolutely. But normally the consequences hurt me. If I'd you know when they were kids and you'd say right, that's it. No television, who's that punishing?

Speaker 1:

yeah, this is so true, yeah, oh, jesus gone up.

Speaker 2:

We've gone off on a tangent again totally gone off a tangent, but I bet everybody's nodding their heads.

Speaker 1:

They, they know what we're talking about, yeah, because we've all been there, but yeah, that that five, four, three, two, one is really really helpful, I think, because it takes that thought process away. You've just got to do it, haven't you?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, she's an absolute rock star. I really like Mel Robbins. If you've never come across her, then definitely go and look her up. She does. I mean obviously not the number one podcast because you're already listening to that, but she does a pretty good podcast. Her and Dr Chatterjee took me on my run the other day. It was a really long podcast.

Speaker 2:

I think, I think it was his podcast and she was on it, but I know that they'd swapped. Yeah, it was, and even if I listened to it, on what? 1.2 times the speed it's's? Uh, yeah, it filled up most of my run. It was really interesting. I really really enjoyed it. She's got some against against really really easy strategies. Do you know? What I took the most hope from from her podcast was that she was about 55 before she used her 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 to get herself out of bed and actually turn her life around, and I found that really exciting, I think. And she's done what she's done in 15 years. She's become that well known in the self-development circles just in 15 years.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I like the high five habit as well. Actually, do you know the high five one, do I? No, I don't think I do. So the high five. So if you think about what a high five is, if you go to high five, someone or someone high, high fives you it's because of our core belief around that. It means that it's a positive interaction. It means that I've done well, yeah, or you've done well, yeah, we're having a. You know, we're celebrating a good moment. She does.

Speaker 1:

This thing called was. She wrote a book on the high five habit and what you do is you high five yourself in the mirror, yeah, every morning. And because of the way that the brain responds to that, it's like you saying to yourself I'm doing okay, everything's okay, yeah, and it's really incredible how well that works, yeah, and she started off by not being able to look herself in the eye when she was doing the high five, yeah, and then it got to the point where she was then able to do that. And then the changes I think she did a massive study on it and the changes within 10 days with people that had mood issues was huge that's incredible, and again it's so.

Speaker 2:

It's so simple, but it's not simplistic. It works really, really well. I love that. I used to. I don't know if when anybody's ever used MailChimp, which is the email sender, what it used to do once you clicked send, it used to come up with a weird-looking person whose hand used to shoot out yeah and it'd do a little dance, wouldn't it?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, do a high five, and I used to, and I think unless I, unless I've totally made this up, I think it made like a slapping sound as a high five. I used to literally move and high five, the screen with my own hand. Yeah, I was like, yes, I've sent it. Mainly I sending emails, so the fact that I'd sent out these emails, I was like, yeah, I've done it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and that's the power of the high five. Yeah, because the little animation on the screen was high fiving you. You instantly felt yeah, I've done a good job there. I miss it, it's not there anymore.

Speaker 2:

It's sad. So, yeah, that's brilliant. So other reasons that this again we're good. So we'll take us back to the two-day rule, because we've we've digressed again a little bit. Yeah, it's good, it's all good. Uh, other reasons that it work is that it keeps your momentum going. So we were saying you kind of you get to that that sod it moment that, uh, you haven't done it for one day, you haven't done it for two days. Oh, that's it. I'll start again on monday.

Speaker 2:

Start again on monday yeah I'll start again in the new year. She says in february.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, exactly, it does keep momentum going and it takes away the perfectionism.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yeah, because, yeah, because you're allowed to mess up. Yeah nearly said the f word again then don't go swearing my mum, no, I know we'll be in trouble. So I think, and that's really important that's important for getting that habit really stuck in you yeah, and it doesn't need to be like a big thing.

Speaker 1:

So if you were, say, one of your healthy habits was that you were going to go for a walk for half an hour after your dinner in the evening, we know that that helps our blood sugars massively. Plus you get the exercise, plus you get out and about all the benefits it's a great habit to have, right. So say, you've been doing that and you've been going along quite nicely and then something happened. Maybe you got ill or you had to take the children somewhere, or something happened and you missed one day. And then something happened. You missed the second day. On the third day. You don't have to make it a half an hour walk. You could just say I am really up against it at the moment. I'm going to walk around my garden.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm going to walk around the block, around the block.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it doesn't have to be this half an hour commitment that you've made.

Speaker 2:

Yeah and it, and that could apply to anything that you do yeah, absolutely and actually, when you're starting a habit like we talked lots about, like not doing the all or nothing kind of thing, when, like on the 1st of January and you, you know you change your entire lifestyle because it's the 1st of January and then by the 2nd of January it's all all over and done with again, it is it's making that intentional short burst that you can manage and that you can keep managing and then extend it yeah, because that it feeds into those reward pathways in the brain, doesn't it?

Speaker 1:

so if you've done something, even if you think it's ridiculously, you know not, it's like it's not enough. You feel like you haven't gone all out. But if you make it a small achievable target, then the likelihood is that you're smash it anyway, yeah absolutely, and you don't feel because you've only missed two days and then you've done it again.

Speaker 2:

You don't feel, like you're, that you've gone through that sod it moment and you're having to start over again and again and again because life keeps getting in the way. It's it almost, it's almost your get out of jail free card, isn't it? You get those two days just to go okay, and then you get back on board with it.

Speaker 1:

And it's not that you're totally restarting, it's still part of that same thing yeah, and this is really beneficial because when we come, when we keep restarting something, it reinforces back to us that we could never do it in the first place. So we start something with that that doubt, or our core belief that I'm going to start this, whatever.

Speaker 2:

It is healthy habit, but I'm never going to stick to it because I never do, because I never do yeah, absolutely, and so this is the another reason that this is a brilliant rule is that it builds trust with yourself. You start to give yourself evidence that you can do what you say you're going to do, and you can keep your promises to yourself yeah, and I don't think you can underestimate the power of that, really no.

Speaker 1:

And trusting yourself, because it does take a bit of work to build that trust in yourself. But this is literally showing you on a daily basis that you're showing up for yourself, really isn't it? Yeah, I'm making it easy.

Speaker 2:

I have definitely in the past past and it does still rear its ugly head definitely got a story that I don't stick to things and that I can't trust myself to actually follow something through right to the end. You know, like you're doing a challenge, that someone on instagram or linkedin or something's doing a doing a challenge and I'll be like yay, for day one and day two, maybe day three and then yeah, then sod it day three is interesting because day three and four, as far as the brain is concerned, is when it starts to have that wobble because things are different.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it doesn't like it. So it's decided hang a minute. This is not what we normally do, we're not in our comfort zone. So then it will signal to you and give you all the reasons. It will find those, um, those recordings in the back of your head from way back and it will bring it to the front and it will say you know what this isn't? We don't really need to do this. We've done this for three or four days, aren't we good? We need a reward now, yeah. And so that day three or four, as far as the brain is concerned, if you can get past that first obstacle, then you start to say to your brain no, this is the new normal, now, yeah. And then your brain has to accept that eventually, if you keep doing it, eventually it will go oh, the old way, we don't need anymore.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you start to rewrite those pathways, don't you? And again, so that's the magic of this two-day rule is that you don't just get to day three or four where it's ugly and and you don't really want to do it anymore because you've got then do it again on day five. You've got to stick to that, um, but you've, and you've kind of you've given yourself a bit of a break and you've gone. No, it's okay, you haven't beaten yourself up.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we are, but I'm sorry, brain, we are still doing this on day four, day five, um, yeah, and it will, yeah, you will tip those scales into change. It will allow you to do it, but also, so, being aware that your subconscious is going to do that and it's going to throw memories at you, um, as evidence that this is, this is not the right thing to do. We don't want to change, it will, it will throw these things at you and you're going to say thank you very much, subconscious, for protecting me. But we are, you know. And then the conscious mind we are going to do this because I know this is a change for good.

Speaker 1:

I love that in a conversation you have with yourself. Where it comes, it comes up and then you almost say, like you've just said well, well, thank you for bringing that to my attention. Like you're having a conversation with someone else, like a friend. That's really kind of you to bring that to my attention and want to protect me. But you know what? I'm going a different way this time and you just dismiss it and then that voice or that person that you're thinking about or hearing, just can't do anything. It just has to disappear.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, absolutely disappearing. Just it can't do anything, it just has to disappear. Yeah, absolutely, and yeah, so sticking it to another habit is a really great thing and distraction often because if you are with your subconscious chat that you've just had and it wants you to go off and do something different, like eat chocolate.

Speaker 1:

I don't know why I'm using chocolate as a chocolate a lot today yeah, as our example.

Speaker 2:

It's. It's thanking, thanking your subconscious for bringing that to your attention. I am safe, I'm fine, and then distract yourself as well. Go and go and do something else. So, even if it is not going to do your healthy walk, distract yourself from the eating of chocolate.

Speaker 1:

Yes, exactly. So if you are trying your best to form a new habit or you've set yourself some kind of health goal, then this two-day rule is just so simple. You literally just don't go beyond two days of missing your new healthy habit.

Speaker 2:

You do day three, no matter what, even if it's only a small amount of time or something relevant to your goal that you've just done something towards it yeah, and I'd even go as far as certainly, certainly for me is making sure that I only ever miss one day, and so you've almost got that extra day as a bit of a bit of leeway. But when you, if you've missed one day, really really trying the next day to implement what it is, and then at least you've got a bit of a bit of leeway, bit of give yeah, yeah, and then you constantly do that.

Speaker 1:

You form your new habit before you know it. That's your default and you're not even having to think about it or try. It just is is something you do. Yeah, if you go for a walk after your dinner every evening, and it's just something you do, it will feel weird when you don't do it that's yeah, I was just thinking that it's amazing and how quickly it will feel weird when you don't do it.

Speaker 2:

That's yeah, I was just thinking that it's amazing and how quickly, like suddenly, you'll be like this is normal. When did that happen? And you won't even realise that. Switch over. It's so clever. Yeah, the brain and your habits and the subconscious, it's just so so clever. And even I mean I've got a fairly good understanding, not not incredibly scientifically deep, if that's a, if that's even a word, but even when I know stuff about it, it still stuns and amazes me how it works yeah, I.

Speaker 1:

I find it incredible that you can do a habit to the point where it becomes a default and then that is just who you are. Yeah, and you're just someone. That is that like. I always found it interesting when I was doing the brain psychology course that we were asked if we were a smoker. Are you a smoker? Yeah, no, there is no.

Speaker 1:

I've never been a smoker, so there's no part of me that identifies at all because I am not a smoker yeah and so when you're looking at something that you want to focus on whether it's you're full of energy or you're strong you just then own that identity to the point where nobody can convince you otherwise, that you're not that thing yeah, it's really interesting and identity.

Speaker 2:

So part of your creating habits that are going to stick is that you have to bring them into your identity. I am a person that goes for a walk after my meal, um, and yeah, and there's nothing else that's going to convince you otherwise, especially once that's stuck. So actually part of this this two-day rule is checking in with yourself. If what you have decided for yourself is for yourself, is forward-facing, so it's not something that's taking away from. So if, for instance, you are giving up alcohol, then you need to flip that round to thinking about the benefits of not drinking that alcohol rather than being in a place of lack yeah, you don't want to be missing out no exactly don't want to be in deprivation, because that's horrible.

Speaker 1:

And then that part of your brain that says, oh, hang a minute, this is uncomfortable, it's really uncomfortable and it really doesn't like it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah and that bit of your subconscious, you're not going to win over. No, you can't win that one. That's not. Yeah, it's not going to happen. So interesting what you've just said about smoking, because I did for a little while, when I was, uh, young and silly, I I did used to smoke. However, I still didn't ever feel like it was part of my identity because it actually went completely against. Even when I was sort of 16, 17, 18, it still went against my core beliefs of what I looked like, of how I looked after myself.

Speaker 2:

I went to the gym regularly. I was very aware of what I was eating, perhaps not what I was drinking. It really didn't align with my core values, and so then I often felt like that was the reason I was able to give it up quite easily and I didn't smoke much beyond about I don't know 2021. And it also helped at that point. I'd met Mark and he'd never smoked, and so that made it much, much easier as well, but I just I never felt like it, like I was a smoker. I never felt that identity. So it was really interesting when you just just said that about smoking.

Speaker 1:

It's a really good example yeah, I was having a chat with my children about some of this stuff recently and saying that with we use smoking as an example of it about when you feel like you've just described as being misaligned, when you kind of know within yourself that this isn't the right thing for you. I was trying to explain to my children to tune into that. But my best friend and the people that I hung around with at school all smoked and I never even tried one, even though they were. Oh, come on, julie, it's the cool thing to do, you'll win the crowd. You know. Blah, blah, blah, it never. I just thought why would I want to do that? Yeah, the whole time, and I used to say that. Why?

Speaker 1:

would I want to do that, but it didn time and I used to say that why would I want to do that? But it didn't. It didn't ruin the friendship or anything, it was fine. So I was explaining that to my children that you often get that feeling, or you just know like I did. Why would I do that? It's just the thought never crossed my mind that I would want to try.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's fantastic mark was exactly the same and I wish I'd had the uh, the willpower, I think, or not even the willpower.

Speaker 2:

I think, the inner confidence and the inner conviction to stick to what I knew within my core was right for me and it's really I mean for you to do it. And I often, like mark, talks about when he was at school and he had changed friend groups from he he'd gone into that he was in berkshire and they had middle school and then all sorts of weird, weird levels of school, but he'd gone up into what was eventually like secondary school with the cool kids and they'd began to behave like idiots and he didn't want to behave like that. And so he withdrew himself from the cool kid gang and went and hung out with the, the geeks that were playing chess, for instance. I genuinely think that's what they were doing and I marvel at his inner strength and confidence to be able to do that, because most people will go the other way, right, they gravitate towards the cool kids and they do whatever they could to be part of that you want to fit in, don't you?

Speaker 1:

you want to fit in, especially that age, and you haven't necessarily got the maturity and the confidence to go the other way. Yeah, so yeah, it's an amazing trait to be able to do that. Really, I think so.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I hope some of that rubbed off on my children. They are fairly individual and I think they probably do stick to their own groups rather than striving to be with the, with the cool gang or the naughty boys or what have you. But I, yeah, I often, I really I. I admire mark and I admire you for being able to sort of stick to that at such a young age okay.

Speaker 1:

So when, when life life's for you guys, listening again, we went off on a tangent a bit, didn't we but do we do that? But the thing is, is that it's an insight into how the brain works, isn't it? Yeah, and it's all connected. So, whatever your you know your aim is that you're you're aiming to, uh, form new healthy habits, or whatever it is. Then the two-day rule is very easy and it is definitely something that you could implement yeah.

Speaker 2:

So we would love to know, as always in the far too fabulous facebook group, if you have given this a go or what you think that you could use it to implement. That would be really interesting, and if you've got any other rules that help you in life that you want to share with us, we would love to know. Yeah, that would be interesting, really interesting.
