behaviors

Until it becomes all the time

Posted by HorrieM

You start something new.

First time.

A new habit.

Second time.

A new behaviour.

Five times.

Great!

Six times.

Now, keep going.

Ten times.

Keep building competence.

Twenty times.

And confidence.

Thirty times.

Until the new becomes ingrained.

Many times.

It is simply what you do.

All the time.

“For a habit to stay changed, people must believe change is possible.” – Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do, and How to Change

 

What are you going to leave behind?

What is not serving you anymore?

The behaviours.

The habits.

The … stuff.

What are you going to leave behind?

That self-doubt.

The lack of discipline.

Those negative and toxic people.

Excuses.

Overindulging.

(Be it food, alcohol, binge-watching … insert you’re own here).

Playing small.

The need to please.

Your ego.

Some of that attitude.

The lack of motivation.

Trying to do it all yourself.

Hesitation.

Saying ‘yes’ too often.

Comparison to others.

Judging others.

Stress (though not the good eustress).

Burning both ends of the candle.

Multitasking.

Procrastination.
