We all have goals. Great success begins with your habits. What habits do you have? Are your habits moving you towards your goals or keeping you away from them?
Being successful in your habits while aligning them with your goals, can allow achievement of what you dream of -- like never before.
Habits develop by doing an action enough times that the neurons in the brain create a pathway, enabling them to move more quickly from a trigger point. Some, for example, get in the habit of eating while watching TV. Other habits develop consciously, or by choice, from something you decide to do repeatedly until these pathways are created.
Ellen Langer highlights the differences between habits made out of choice versus habits people "fall into". In her book Mindfulness, she states "a mindful approach to any activity has three characteristics: the continuous creation of new categories; openness to new information; and an implicit awareness of more than one perspective." "Mindlessness, in contrast, is characterized by an entrapment in old categories; by automatic behavior that precludes attending to new signals; and by action that operates from a single perspective."
Try these helpful habits:
1. A great morning routine - Getting off to a great start in the morning can set up your day better than anything else. You can incorporate the rituals that are most beneficial for you, such as stretching, giving thanks, and/or connecting.
2. Exercise, walking, or yoga – Taking the time out to work on your physical self can not only improve your health, but also provide great clarity.
3. Daily check ins – Reviewing what you are doing with your time and energy every day naturally brings your awareness to another level (knowing what habits you have) and opens you up to seeing opportunities. A great way to do this is using an organizer with space for journaling.
4. Scheduled development time – Spend some time developing your goals each week. For example, if you want to be a writer, write for a half hour every day or for a couple of hours each Saturday morning.
5. Weekly Org Sesh– A weekly check in, such as an Org Sesh, can give you a higher perspective on what you are doing and how to take it to another level.
What habits do you have that are most helpful to you? There are so many out there. Please share what works best for you. What habits may be hindering your growth?
To Your Success!
