Forming a new habit takes time—but with the right strategy, it can become second nature!
You probably already know that Protect+ Urinary Care is designed to support your urinary health daily, but remembering to take it consistently is the key to seeing the best results. The problem? New habits don’t always stick as easily as we’d like!
You may have heard the saying that it takes 21 days to form a habit, but research shows it’s closer to 66 days on average. That’s why having a solid strategy is so important.
The good news? You don’t need superhuman willpower—just a simple framework to make Protect+ part of your daily routine. Enter The Habit Loop—a science-backed formula that helps you build lasting habits with ease
The Habit Loop is a well-studied method for creating habits that actually last. It consists of three key steps:
✅ Cue – A trigger that reminds you to complete your habit (like keeping Protect+ next to your toothbrush).
✅ Routine – The action itself (taking Protect+ with water each day).
✅ Reward – The positive reinforcement that keeps you motivated (like the confidence of taking control of your urinary health!).
Now, let’s break it down into five simple ways you can use this framework to make taking Protect+ an effortless part of your day!
1. Identify a Cue
A cue is what reminds you to take action. The best way to make Protect+ part of your routine is to tie it to something you already do daily.
Try pairing Protect+ with:
✔️ Your morning coffee or tea
✔️ Brushing your teeth (keep your bottle near your toothbrush!)
✔️ Eating lunch
✔️ Winding down before bed
You can also use a visual cue, like placing your Protect+ bottle somewhere prominent—on your nightstand, next to your vitamins, or by your coffee maker.
2. Define Your Routine
Now that you have a cue, the next step is making your routine automatic.
Your routine is simple: Take Protect+ daily with a glass of water.
Consistency is key! Even if you miss a day, don’t stress—just pick up where you left off and keep going. The goal is to make this a seamless part of your day.
3. Establish a Reward
Rewards motivate you to stick with a habit. While taking control of your urinary health is already a reward, you can reinforce the habit with small treats:
🎵 Listen to your favorite song after taking Protect+
✅ Use a habit tracker app to check off each day
🍫 Treat yourself to a small piece of dark chocolate or a cup of herbal tea
If you love tracking progress, try using a habit tracker like Streaks to see your consistency build over time!
4. Stay Accountable
Accountability can be a powerful motivator! Try one of these:
💬 Tell a friend or partner about your new routine and ask them to check in on you.
⏰ Set phone reminders for the same time each day.
📢 Join a health-focused community (or get a friend to start the habit with you!).
Having someone else invested in your success can make a huge difference in sticking with your routine.
5. Adjust When Needed
If you’re struggling to remember to take Protect+, don’t get discouraged—just tweak your approach.
🔄 Change your cue – Maybe taking Protect+ with coffee isn’t working, but bedtime would be better.
🛑 Remove obstacles – If your bottle is hidden in a cabinet, put it somewhere more visible.
The key is flexibility—adjust your habit loop until it fits your lifestyle in a way that feels effortless.
Small Steps Lead to Big Results
Building a new habit doesn’t happen overnight, but small, consistent actions add up over time. By using the Habit Loop and following these five simple steps, you’ll set yourself up for success with Protect+ and your urinary health!
