Habits have a very serious impact on the quality of life. Bad habits bring negative, and positive ones, on the contrary, help to improve and achieve the set goals. So how do you get into habits?
As a result of the fact that the same action is repeated by us every day, it becomes habitual. A person already ceases to think about its implementation, he just does the work mechanically. You need to cultivate a new habit gradually: first, explain the reason why you need it; then regular execution; further understanding of the ability to correctly assess the appropriateness of the habit.
How long does it take to form a habit? The minimum is 21 days, and on average, a person develops a stable habit that sits deeply in the nervous system in the period from 21 days to 40 days. It all depends on the person himself. But it is important to do this action continuously every day. If you missed one day, you have to start over.
There are some tips on how to instill a habit.
1. Do not deviate from what was planned. If you decide to do exercises every day, then constantly exercise in the morning after waking up, do not postpone until tomorrow or later. Each evasion moves you away from the result.
2. Give yourself motivation. Imagine what a new habit will bring you (health, well-being, fun, money).
3. Get used to it gradually. If, for example, you want to start playing sports, then first start with light exercises, you do not need to immediately sign up for the gym, exhaust yourself with hours of training. In this case, you can reach a breakdown.
Remember that actions give rise to your habits, habits affect your character, and character affects your destiny.
