Understand and Create Habits | Trent Shelton

About this video

Shelton teaches about developing effective habits, routines, and goal-setting practices to achieve personal growth. He introduces what he calls the ‘rehab loop’—explaining how emotional triggers lead to actions that provide relief—and argues that changing the action step is key to breaking bad habits. Shelton recommends building habits around three categories he calls ‘PEC’: peace, energy, and confidence, while emphasizing that routines and calendar management reveal what people truly value.

Key takeaways

• Shelton argues that bad habits thrive in comfort zones, and breaking them requires replacing comfortable actions with uncomfortable growth-oriented ones when emotionally triggered
• Shelton recommends adopting one new positive habit per month across three categories: peace (like meditation), energy (like exercise and nutrition), and confidence (like accomplishing challenging tasks)
• Shelton teaches that examining your daily routines and calendar reveals your true priorities and commitment level to personal goals
