If everything were to be on autopilot right from the start then making new habits stick won’t have been such a task. But it is. So here are a few tricks to help ease the process.
- Thirty Days is All You Need
Sustain your new habit for at least three to four weeks and after that it’ll simply become a part of your routine and your system.
- Make it Daily
Consistency is critical and so you must practice the habit daily. Doing it once every few days will make it difficult to lock the act as a habit.
- Start Simple & Easy
If you want to run for an hour a day then start with running for 15 minutes. Take it slow and easy. Going from no running to doing it for an hour a day will leave you drained and unmotivated.
- Remind Yourself
Around 2 weeks, take a review of how you’ve done so far. If not so good, then push yourself a little more. It’s often easy to forget the determination with which we started the habit. So make sure you revive it in later stage.
- Get a Buddy
Find someone who can tag along with you for the task. Both of you then can be the motivation force for each other and also keep checks.
- Be Kind to Yourself
The change is not going to happen overnight. Expect a few bumps along the way.
- Find Role Models
You become what you spend time around. So find someone who has already achieved the level you wish to be at and spend more quality time with them.
- Do it for Yourself
Bring a new habit into your life because you (and not others) want it. Empty resolutions and guilt from others will not help much.
