Be honest with yourself:
- Are you always running late?
- Do you return phone calls within 24 hours?
- Do you get enough sleep?
- Do you follow through on your promises?
- Do you plan out your day?
What would your life be like if you ate healthy meals, exercised and got enough sleep? What if you saved your money, stopped using credit cards and paid cash for everything? What if you stopped procrastinating, overcame your fears and began networking with people in your field?
My suggested action step for you is:
- Write down some productive habits you could adopt and visualize in your life.
- Then, act as if you are living these new habits right now.
To help you get moving toward creating more successful habits, I recommend you develop four of your new success habits each year, one for each quarter. Once you pick the new habit you're ready to adopt, create a method that will support your new habit. Here are some ideas:
- Write it down on a card you keep with you and read several times a day.
- Make it a part of your daily visualization.
- Enlist the help of an accountability partner who also has habits to change, or work with a personal coach who can keep you on track.
Just developing four new habits a year dramatically shifts your life to be more in line with your vision. And the more in line it becomes, the easier the other habits are to replace because your perspective is shifting, and you can see more clearly how your old habits aren't serving you anymore.
