Tip #3 for Developing and Keeping Great Habits

The Accountability Minute:Business Acceleration|Productivity

Today we are talking about Tip #3 for developing and keeping great habits, which is to Stay Consistent.

Most good habits take effort to implement. Researchers have not really found conclusive results on how long it actually takes to develop a particular good habit, but most of the figures point to somewhere around a month, or even a little bit longer. I believe you can change a habit in 1 second - the second you choose it is no longer acceptable for it to be the way it currently is now. While you are attempting to institute a new good habit, keep in mind that there are going to be times when it is going to get difficult. In fact, there are going to be times when you mess up. If you are trying to lose weight, you are going to break your zero carb habit at least once… but this does not mean that you have to give up.

A lot of people give up if they experience a slight weakness and break their new habits, even if it only happens once. It can be easy to lose heart. You can become disappointed and discouraged in yourself, and it is usually more difficult to continue on than it would be to fall back into your old ways. But it is EXTREMELY important that you remain consistent during this time. If you mess up, just move on and make it a point to do better tomorrow. You are not going to be perfect, because nobody is… so just do your best and make it a point to keep putting one foot in front of the other. THAT is how good habits are formed. An entire journey begins with a single step, and good habits are no different.

Tune in tomorrow for Tip #4 for developing and keeping great habits.
