Instructions
Step 1
The most difficult thing is to make a decision for yourself: to change your life. So find a number of reasons why this is so important to you. It is best to do this in the morning. Write down the reasons on a piece of paper and have them with you at first. This will be the first motivational step. Please note that the second step must be done immediately after the first.
Step 2
So, the last night of your "old life". It will also have to be done in a new way. Go to bed early by setting your alarm at the right time. Pre-write on the wrist of the hand with which you turn off the call: "new life" (or some other motivating phrase). In the morning, you should not rearrange the alarm clock at a later time, you need to get up with the first ring. The inscription on the hand will serve as a reminder to you.
Step 3
Start breaking bad habits. Again, use the handwriting. The same "new life" or another phrase should remind you that bad habits are also a thing of the past.
Step 4
Get into good habits. To do this, start a notebook and write down in it a list of useful things with which you want to enrich your day: this should only be what you will definitely do. A new life cannot immediately become ideal, you need to come to everything gradually. Make the following columns in your notebook: list item, date, done. In the "completed" column, indicate how many of this item you would have managed to do, and if you had time to do everything, put a tick.
Step 5
Items can be as follows: "do such and such an exercise a certain number of times", "cook according to a new recipe", "learn so many foreign words." Do not take too heavy loads at once. If you learn words, then for a start, no more than ten a day. And there should be no more than five new "habits". When you master this volume and begin to perform it with ease, you can add tasks to yourself.
Step 6
Remember your dreams, you wanted to realize your plans earlier, but could not. By working on good and bad habits, you will gain certain skills in planning and managing your time, as well as develop willpower. Thanks to this, more complex tasks will be solved easier than before. Do not be afraid that something will not work out, mistakes will also help you understand what you are doing wrong and where it is better to direct your energy.
Step 7
Remember, the key to conscious change is motivation, willpower. The main enemy is the fear that something will not work out for you.
