What are habits?
“A habit is something that you do often and regularly, sometimes without knowing that you are doing it” Cambridge English Dictionary.
In essence, our habits make us; our good habits drive us forward, whilst our bad habits hold us back. Therefore, to reach our full potential, we must eliminate those negative habits and beliefs and replace them with positive ones. Of course, it’s more complex than just deciding to change our actions. Letting go of bad habits and behaviours can be more complicated than we think. After all, that’s why they’re called a habit in the first place.
How do we develop positive habits?
Developing good habits can take a considerable amount of time and hard work. Many start with good intentions, but gradually, we fall back into our old habits without even realising it. We’ve all been there. January is around the corner, and we make all these healthy New Year resolutions only to be back where we started by March.
As we introduce new habits in our lives, we expect our lives to change quickly. However, changes don’t happen overnight. When we don’t see results quickly enough, we get frustrated and discouraged, leading us to eventually give up. It doesn’t have to be this way, though. Instead of taking on too much, try starting small and implementing small changes that eventually become habits. In other words, don’t increase the effort until the habit becomes a natural part of your day.
For example, if you want to start eating healthy, instead of changing your whole diet, begin with changing just one thing, such as eating more fruit or vegetables. As this becomes the norm, add in another aspect, such as reducing sugar intake. This may take more time to achieve your goals, but it’s also much more sustainable, and you are more likely to succeed.
For those of you wanting to incorporate more positive habits into your daily life, I have listed 100 positive habits to get you started. Now, most of these habits alone probably won’t make a huge difference to your life; however, when a few of them are combined, you will no doubt see some great improvements. Like I said previously, don’t overwhelm yourself. Pick out a few simple habits and make them part of your life. You can gradually add more as and when you feel necessary.
