Creating good habits
You need to embody the habit, before you have even begun working on it. So think about what the habit gives you and what your new identity will be if you have been successful and disciplined at applying that habit.
If you want to start running, take on the identity of a runner and think of what a runner does and all the routines attached to it and how they might speak and act. Begin with the end in mind and start by writing what the habit will give you.
You are far more likely to be successful if you track your habits progress. The journey to a habit gives you a great template for the tracker:-
- Cue – What has prompted you to want to make a change and create a new habit
- Craving – Which identity do you want to embody, what will the habit give you
- Response – The actions/rituals/routines you need to put in place
- Reward – When you have achieved the habit change acknowledge the result
Example:-
To increase readership of your blog
- Cue – statistics on your blog
- Craving – to be read by a wider audience
- Response – publicise on more sites
- Reward – business leads from the blog
This blog was inspired by the book “Atomic Habits” by James Clear.
