We have identified our current habits and the new habits we want to create.
Now it is time to implement the knowledge we have and turn that into action to create these new habits.
How do we do this?
Identify the new habits you want to implement (see our previous post
)
Work out where these habits will fit into your schedule – even better if they work with existing habits (see our previous post
)
Surround yourself with likeminded, supportive people (remember our rotten fruit analogy?
)
Set yourself reminders. Until your new behaviour becomes a habit, using an alarm or reminder on your phone is a helpful way to ensure you are taking action.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, practice self compassion. You may drop the ball a couple of times at the beginning, but remember when we spoke about imperfect action beating perfect inaction every time? Even if you are not perfectly consistent, you are still learning to implement this new behaviour. Be kind to yourself and try again at the next opportunity.
Consistent and conscious action will transform these new behaviours into automatic habits before you know it!
Regularly checking in with the goals you set, both short term and long term goals, will allow to assess where you are at, if you need to revise your goals and any changes you need to make to keep you on track to achieving them.
You will have achieved your goals without beating yourself up and “falling off the wagon” every time you are less than perfect. How good is that?!
