Positive changes are difficult to maintain. There is always a temptation to return to the starting point. And the decisive role in this issue is played not by a lack of willpower, but by the environment that forms a person. However, any obstacle can be overcome. If you really want to perpetuate a good habit, use the following rules.
Tell us. It doesn't matter if you can somehow influence the people around you. The important thing is that by talking about your positive plans, you will maintain and strengthen the positive changes in your character, which can be of great benefit. In addition, it will allow you to better understand and consolidate the essence of a good habit.
Meet. New people will create an atmosphere of positive change. For them, you will already be a different person, because they did not know you in the past. Thus, these people will literally push you to be better. Let's say, having met, you said that you run 3 kilometers every day. Most likely, during the next meeting, they will ask how your run went today and will further reinforce the good habit.
Make commitments. The fear of failure makes you set goals very vague and not tell anyone about them. After all, if you lose, it will be very embarrassing and uncomfortable. But in doing so, you give up ahead of time. Real desire to change should not be associated with fear. Look him straight in the face.
Reach out to the five people who influence you the most and ask them to supervise the process of achieving the goal. Tell them they can laugh at you if you decide to back down. For those who are not at all confident in themselves, the following method is suitable. Go to your bosses and state that they can fire you if you do not do your job.
