It's All About Habits

Building and breaking them is easier than you think.

Creating positive habits can be a great way to help achieve goals. It can also help to maintain the balance between responsibility and accountability. It can also be used as a means to set a good example. Whether you are trying to change an unhealthy habit or instill a good habit, there are some basic principles that will help you. They include clear direction, repetition, letting go of self-judgment, embracing forgiveness, and surrounding yourself with people who are living a teleologic lifestyle.

Clear direction

While the best way to create a habit is to start a new habit, there are things you can do to help you build a habit that you can maintain. First of all, you need to know what you want to accomplish in the first place. It can be something as simple as going to bed earlier or reading more often. You can also make little changes to your routines that will make it easier to form a habit.

Having clear instructions to instill a particular habit can make the job a lot easier. This may seem like an obvious statement, but the fact is that many people struggle with this aspect. After you have identified the habits that you wish to break or instill, it often pays to research how others have done it and learn from their struggles and insights. You will also be able to gain motivation from their achievements. If they can do it, I can, too!
