Write it down-Winston Churchill once said, "Plans are useless, but plans are valuable." If you want to change a habit, plan what you want to do immediately and record it.
Perseverance-You decide to form a good habit of exercising. But the first day you run; Change bicycles the next day; Then turn to dancing on the third day, which makes your habit interesting, but it is difficult to stick to it and form a fixed habit. In the first month of cultivating habits, keep the consistency of habits and don't change them at will.
Daily training-is it easier to update three blogs a week or to keep updating three blogs for seven weeks? I was surprised to find that it is easier to update it every day at first and several times a week after a while. Therefore, I suggest that in the first month of cultivating good habits, we should stick to it every day, so it is easier to become a long-term habit.
Understand the harvest-if you want to cultivate a permanent habit, you need a little motivation. Know what benefits you can get from your new habit. Establish good eating habits? Then read some magazines that introduce healthy eating and feel the taste of healthy living. Cultivate good habits of saving economic expenses? Search and find out how this habit will affect your future financial situation. Only by discovering the benefits that these habits can bring will you have constant motivation to cultivate this habit.
Plan ahead-find a suitable time to form a habit. Find out in advance the things that may destroy the new habits you cultivate this month, such as holiday travel, schedule changes and so on. Planning in advance can prevent you from being confused by the sudden birthday party; It can also help you avoid disturbing the good habit of saving money that you have been trying to establish because of travel.
Hold a ceremony-before you start a new habit, you'd better hold a ceremony. If you want to get into the habit of getting up early, try to turn off the alarm clock and cultivate an automatic biological clock.
Add some syrup-some habits are not fixed. When a new habit is formed, the old habit must be abandoned, resulting in some loopholes. For example, reduce the time spent online, reduce some form of rest time, and reduce the time spent watching TV. Will lead to idle time, so you should "add some syrup" to fill in the blank and make things continuous.
Give yourself a big reward-whenever you successfully cultivate a new habit, give yourself some reward (not necessarily money). This will boost your motivation and keep you going.
Use "but"-this is what I learned from an outstanding habit-forming expert, and use "but" to change the bad situation in habit-forming. Every time you stick to a new habit for a period of time, you will have more or less negative thoughts. So put "but" after every negative thought, plus some positive thoughts. For example, "I don't know how to do it, but! I am a very smart person and can learn it right away. "
