A practical, evidence-based course for creating routines that stick, with Professor Christina Ross.
This Building Healthy Habits course gives you a clear, step-by-step framework for developing healthier routines without relying on motivation alone. You’ll explore how habits form, why some behaviours stick while others fade, and how to choose the right targets so your effort goes toward changes that truly matter. By focusing on small, repeatable actions, the course helps you build momentum in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.
Throughout the lessons, you’ll learn how to make goals specific, design effective reminders, reduce friction, and use your environment to support better choices. You’ll also discover how to track progress in a way that reveals what actually works, how to recover after setbacks without losing progress, and how to shape an identity that supports long-term follow-through. These tools are especially valuable for anyone interested in Personal Development, because they help you build systems instead of depending on willpower.
The course also applies habit-building principles to daily recovery, sleep, nutrition, movement, time management, and stress reduction, helping you create healthier routines across multiple areas of life. By the end, you’ll have a personalized action strategy and a stronger understanding of how to design habits that fit your real life. After taking this course, you’ll be better equipped to follow through on your goals, maintain healthier routines, and become someone who can trust their own consistency.
