| Forming
habits - You had your plan all set. You knew exactly what you needed to
do, maybe you even got off to a fantastic start! Then suddenly out of no
where you realized that your goal is now out of sight. Does this sound
familiar?
If
you answered yes let me assure you that you're not alone! If this has happened
to you here's an approach that might help. Reaffirm to yourself that most
things are accomplished when we are able to form habits around them. Much
in the same way that negative habits transpire in our lives so can we introduce
positive ones. The thing to remember is that habits are formed while we
practice (either subconsciously or not) repetition of them.
Laying
out our goals clearly is only one step in attaining them. Just as important
is forming habits that go along with the dreams we have for ourselves.
How do I form habits you ask? I should say here that the exact number of
times an event must be repeated for it to stick is going to vary a bit
from person to person. However, I have heard it said that after 21 days
of repetition it becomes a habit. Again this will most likely differ from
person to person.
Creating
habits is an excellent way to achieve our goals...
