Habits....do you realise the impact they have on your life?

Are you successful or unsuccessful in your business or career?

Are you content in your life or are you frustrated?

It may surprise you but the answer to these questions is very much determined by your habits.

Not just your habits in terms of what you do, but also your habitual thinking. 

Our habits of thinking and doing determine who we are, what we believe and how others see us.

If you want things in your personal or professional life to change, it will often come down to changing your habits.

So how can you do this?

Awareness – understanding what is the unhelpful habit, when does it happen, what causes it and what are the consequences?

Replacing it – Take the existing unhelpful habit and replace it with something more helpful. If you habitually feel fear in certain circumstances, try and reframe it in a positive light, see it as excitement or an opportunity to learn. 

Be persistent – habits don’t change overnight, they have been built up over many years. Developing a new habit is like building a muscle, the more we work on the stronger it gets. 

Habits play a massive role in our lives, would you not prefer to have ones that were helpful as opposed to unhelpful?
