I want to offer a simple four-step solution to changing habits.
First, change one habit at a time. This is an important and crucial to your success in changing habits. If you try to do too much, you will succeed, because you'll be overwhelmed by the shear number of things that should be monitored at all times. You are changing habits requires consciousness, but they have to walk around all day like it was all new habit you will be exhausted quickly.
can actually be two habits at the same time, provided they are in very different areas of your life. For example, I think it is entirely possible to start the exercise habits of your home life and the habits of work. You might want to get into the habit of planning at the end of tomorrow today. I'm at my most productive when I start work plan is made. If I start the day and still have to think about what I do, I start with the backlog.
Second, get ready for practice. for at least 30 days you have to practice your new habit. As an actor studying his lines, you must have your script ready with you. Oh, you do not write down your intention to form a new habit? Journal! Get ready for practice. This is basically the reason you can only take on one habit at a time. Your life can not be all the practices of all time. Do not have a script, but you can put post-it notes everywhere. Find whatever means you have to remind you. Sometimes you can put a completely senseless stupid thing obvious place. Let's say you have an old teddy bear. Put the bear in front of his bedroom door. Every time you walk in the door, the bear will remind you of your new habit. It sounds ridiculous, but it works. The facility must be completely weird and not be part of the house for work.
Three, activates to create and organize your space to help you form new habits. If you want to work in the morning after waking up, you should hang up your exercise clothes in the bathroom, so you can put them on after you are released. If you got up early to work and still somebody is sleeping in the bedroom, you will not hesitate to go back and get the clothes and their habits will not succeed. Are you ready to take your clothes. Also, if you're always looking for your cell phone, create a landing area in a house near your front door. Put the cell phone charger has and will always be ready to go.
Organize the space to support your habit. If you think you have a green thumb, you should look where you put the watering. Do you have it stacked away under the sink? Do you have to move some items out of the way before you get to be the plant food? No wonder they do not have a green thumb, it's too hard to get into the habit of watering the plants. You get my drift, this applies to many areas of our lives.
Fourth and finally, be accountable. First of all, be responsible for themselves. Write your habits, and an overview of how to work on a daily basis. Perhaps this means that the first habit you must form to write in your journal, to formulate your goals and review them routinely, daily habit changes.
Your partner or spouse, a good friend or another family member can be a great source of responsibility. The first important step is that you express your intention to change habits to someone else. Shame is a powerful motivator, so you do not choose someone who will get away with anything in this field. Someone who will understand too is of no use to you now.
Of course, the coach can be an excellent partner for you in this area.
I believe that one of the reasons they do not commit to a habit change the fact that you can only change one habit at a time. Maybe you say that you have a lot of habits that should change. Let me assure you that a change in habits will change many parts of your life. It is a ripple effect that is very power.
Cheri Huber has written a great book, titled How you do anything that you do everything . It is a powerful message. What does it mean to change the habits of the to.Svijest lead you to change a habit in your life will spill over into other areas of your life. You thought that at some point you need a whole range of changing habits, but you will find that a change will lead to many changes already. This is not a goal in the beginning, but powerful unintended consequence of creating a greater awareness in your life.
If you create a space near your front door, where you charge your cell phone, you may discover that you now have a place for both incoming and outgoing mail. You will never leave home without it is important to the folder that you need to work the next day.
If you water your plants regularly and create a more accessible place for watering and plant food, you may find that you read the entire house otherwise, because the attention you give it. Plants not only need water, they must have light and space to thrive in. You may find all of the sudden clearing away the mess that accumulated around the plant, just after you've just watered the plant.
and used to start my day by going online and see what will come my way through e-mail and RSS feeds. Now, when I wrote down my plan for today and yesterday, and begin its work immediately, because the first item listed is "to check e-mail and news reader ."
So, be encouraged to change their habits and let me know how things go.
