How to Make A New Habit

12 Jan How to Make A New Habit

The New Year is all about resolutions for positive change. Starting off with positive intentions for changing bad habits is a top item on many resolution lists. Forming a habit is a lot more than making a change. A habit is something that is regularly practiced and can be hard to give up. Have you thought about any old habits you would like to change? Or maybe a new habit that you would like to establish?

Moving a positive change into a habit can be made possible when considering the following:

–Be realistic. Do not start off too big and take on more than is realistically possible. –Start small. Consider starting with a smaller habit and working your way up to something larger.

–Find a motivation to making your habit. Think of what motivates you and why you want this new habit established. Use your motivation to push yourself forward.

–Reward yourself along the way. Celebrate your success, even the small ones, and it will help motivate you to keep going.

–Pick yourself back up after any setbacks. With any new habit, there can be failures. You can learn your lesson from them and pick up where you left off. Establishing a new habit can be a lot of work, but with the proper foundation and consistency, you can succeed!
