" Good habits are hard to form but easy to live with, bad habits are easy to form but hard to live with" - Brian Tracy
I was listening to a marketing CD when this little gem was stayed by Brian. I immediately saw the wisdom in the statement.
I am a firm believer of having or developing great routines. These routines eventually become so ingrained that they reach the habit level.
So I asked myself how does one create a habit? Well, in my opinion start with a low expectation and design a routine. Since your expectation is low you give yourself the room to fail.
Every day presents the opportunity to follow your new routine. Make sure you monitor whether you follow it or you run the other way. By placing your focus on the routine and recording the success or failure of it you will be more likely to succeed. Keep track of how often you fail and work on reducing the failure rate until you have a habit.
Today's question is:
" How do you create a good habit?"
