However, a potential weakness is that we’re so easily excited by change and new projects…we could forget to complete the last one. This certainly used to be an issue with me in my teens. I would jump from one cool thing to another…getting bored very, very quickly.
That is until I began to understand the idea of habits and rituals…
One of mentors used to say that your life is the sum of your daily habits and rituals. I thought it was a bit dramatic at the time but honestly…he’s probably right.
You see the only way to create real, healthy, long-term, accumulative change is…to form a new habit around it. That way, once the habit is ingrained, it’s automatic. It doesn’t take any thought on your part. It doesn’t take willpower or forcing…it just happens.
Let me give you an example.
Every morning, without fail, even on weekends…I wake up, drink 500ml of water and head to the gym for pre-breakfast cardio. Then I get back, jump into the shower. Next up I do a goal release (check out this article for more: EFT and Abundance) on my primary focus – I only ever have one at a time. Then I set out the 3 most important tasks for my day. These tasks could be work, health or even social related. More often than not, a couple are action steps towards my goal. Lastly I do my Whole Brain Thinking goal visualization drill.
That’s my morning ritual. It doesn’t take thought or effort or anything. It just happens, because it’s ingrained.
What habit can you commit to? A habit that will create long term healthy results in your most desired area…Figure it out, and get it ingrained
