This #ThrivingThursday, we’re featuring an exciting resource that could make a massive impact on your journey as a performer. It’s no secret that small, consistent changes can lead to extraordinary results—and who better to help guide you than James Clear, author of Atomic Habits?

James Clear has recently launched a free email course called “30 Days to Better Habits”, designed to help you cultivate habits that stick and set you up for success. It’s an easy step-by-step guide that breaks down habit-building into manageable lessons over 30 days. Whether you want to develop better self-discipline, practice more consistently, or maintain a healthier lifestyle, this course offers practical, actionable strategies to help you get there.

What’s the Course About?

“30 Days to Better Habits” delivers a short email every three days, each one focusing on a specific aspect of habit formation. Over 11 lessons, you’ll learn everything from choosing the right habit to designing your environment for success. It takes the guesswork out of creating new habits, so you know exactly what to do, week by week.

The course includes an 18-page workbook with templates and action checklists, along with access to over 140 examples of how to implement these strategies. These resources offer plenty of ways to explore what works for you—because let’s face it, what works for one performer may not fit for another!

Why Performers Should Give It a Try

Creating and sticking to positive habits can be a game-changer for performers looking to thrive both on and off the stage. Imagine setting habits that make your practice sessions more effective, keeping your body and voice in peak condition, or helping you stay mentally focused during the demands of touring or auditions. The strategies James Clear shares in this course are backed by his extensive research into habit formation and continuous improvement, making them well worth exploring for those looking to fine-tune their routines and see lasting results.

What sets this course apart is how accessible it is. There’s no pressure—it’s just one email every few days with clear, simple guidance. The aim is to keep you moving forward without overwhelming you with too much all at once. Plus, if you find the pace doesn’t work for you, you can unsubscribe at any time.

Highlights to Look Forward To

• Learn Proven Strategies: Each email covers key techniques like “The Two-Minute Rule” to make new habits achievable, designing an environment to make good habits automatic, and visualizing your progress with a habit tracker.
• Engage in Practice, Not Perfection: The course encourages building habits that are accessible and realistic, focusing on progress over perfection—something we know resonates well within the performing arts.
• Receive Guidance Beyond the Book: While the lessons build on the concepts from Atomic Habits, you don’t need to have read the book to benefit from the course. If you’ve ever wondered where to start after reading Atomic Habits, this course is your action plan.
