what is a habit?
A habit can be defined as something that we do often and regular
in a repeated way. Our usual way of behaving or being. Habits ultimately define who we are, they are often unconscious acts that
we consistently do. Habits can be good or bad. To break a bad
habit, it is wise to replace the bad habit with a good one.
How do I identify my habits?
A habit can be recognised using time, is it a morning, afternoon or evening habit?
• Is the habit due to how we are feeling emotionally?
• A habit could be triggered due to where we are or the location we are in?
• It could be related to who we are with?
• It could be a preceding action? Meaning something we have just done that might trigger a habit.
How do I change a habit?
By first identifying it.
• Being mindful of it and knowing that you want to change it.
• Change the routine the habit is in.
• Create a new habit to replace the old one.
• Start small and simple, five minutes of meditation, journaling or affirmations.
• Five minutes when you wake up to tap into your dreams.
How can I create good and better habits?
Start small and simple, begin with introducing one new habit to
begin with, such as journaling, commit to just five minutes a day.
Add a habit onto something you already do each day, for example; after I have written in my journal I will do my meditation.
Be consistent, if you feel your new good habits slacking, just be
aware and get them back on track again
