How To Make Changes Stick
We usually want to make changes in our life. We want lose weight, learn a new language, learn how to juggle etc. We are very amazed at first, but after a short period of time most of us fail to continue on what we decided to do at first. It is very important to practice consistently in order to get to what we want. But we must be deeply engaged emotionally on what we are doing. Because if we want to make changes happen and we stop doing it, it means that we dont really want the change or we are used to it (fulled with changes). I wanted to talk about only the ways how we can make changes stick. Decide exactly what you want to be able to do and then follow in the footsteps.
1. Every morning write down your goal in a piece of paper. Yes! Wake up in the morning, drink some water, do some streching or whatever and then write down your goal somewhere. You should do this not after breakfast for example but right after you wake up. You dont have to write it in a place that you can see it. Just write it down every morning and thats all.
2. Schedule. Schedule blocks of time and during that time you just focus on practice. For example from 13:00-14:00 I will go to the gym. And do nothing but only what you have to do in that small period of time. Don’t forget that you must practice every single day!
3. Measure the change. At the end of your day sit down and journal. Measure yourself. What did I do today? How good did I perform today? Organize a system for self measurement and do it at the end of the day. Measure yourself from scale 1 to 10. 1 It was a very very unproductive day. 10. I crushed it !!
4. Tell to people what you are doing. This is a very important one. Tell your goal to everybody that you can. Tell about the progress that you have made till now. In this way you will be connected to other people and you will have more energy to continue, you will have more will power and you will be more and more excited. Because if you stopped doing then your brain starts thinking people wont think good about me.
5. Find a coach or someone to practice with. If you don’t want to pay a coach just find someone that will be with you everytime you practice. It is proven from studies that if you have a buddy along with you that will make you stay more on what you are doing.
