Change one habit at a time

The average habit changer wakes up new years morning and looks at his/her list of agreed goals and things to change for the year. Like with anything, it starts out well. Yet after day four or five - or two weeks if he/her is lucky, the wheels fall off and they find it difficult to keep up with all the changes. The main reasons this happens: They try and change to many aspects at one time.

Changing habits becomes easier when we only focus on one habit at a time. While it is often tempting to try and change all aspects of our life, this is usually the path to failure. Consistency is key to changing habits, and this is a lot easier to achieve when you only look at one part of your life.

So today's advice: Focus on changing one habit, and only one habit at a time. This is a way to help guarantee great success. Once you have successfully changed one habit, move on to the next.

Cheers
