BUILDING BETTER HABITS

 


Building better habits are hard, especially in the beginning. Sprints don’t work. Massive changes hardly work. Aiming for one giant step doesn’t end well. Many people rely on habit-building systems to start new healthy habits.

A great system can give your willpower a break, so you can focus on repeatable behaviours that deliver results-systems applied well will make your habits automatic over time.

But a good system requires time to deliver incremental changes because healthy new habits take time to stick.

The only way to get over the hurdle is to start with a consistency plan too small to fail: a habit formation system that fits your personality, attitude, environment and goals in life.

A small action daily is infinitely better and more impactful than a massive change you can’t sustain. It’s also a realistic and attainable way to teach your brain healthy habits.

Jim Rohn once said, “Success is a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.”
