Everyone has habits. Some of them help and some of them hinder personal or professional progress. But habits can be changed. You can choose to develop helpful habits, so it becomes easier to create the life of your dreams.
Four Steps to Helpful Habits
Here are four steps that will help you develop helpful habits.
- Decide what area of your life would benefit from new habits.
Would you like to have better eating habits, work habits, or parenting habits? It doesn’t matter what area of your life you choose, but choose one area. In fact, you can choose every one or two months to develop a new habit in a new life area. - Evaluate your current habits related to that area of life.
In the area of life you’d like to improve, consider what habits currently help you? Which ones slow you down? Make a list of positive and negative habits just for the area of life you want to improve first. - Choose a new habit to develop.
Decide what new habit would move you forward the fastest in this area of life. Do you want to build on a habit that already helps or create a new one to replace a habit that holds you back? - Commit to doing something in a new way for 30 to 60 days.
Studies have concluded that it can take up to 60+ days to form a habit—if it’s a difficult one. Other habits can be formed in 30 to 40 days. Commit to behaving differently—developing your new habit—for 30 to 60 days or until you feel you’ve developed a new, positive habit.
Once you have a new habit, move on to another area of your life. Go through this process again. Choose a new behavior, and commit to it again for one or two months. In this way, you will become a high performer personally and professionally, and you will fulfill your potential.
