Now that school is back into session, the kids are finally out of the house for hours a day, 5 days a week. Along with that, you may find yourself getting back into the workflow because you became (along with others), a victim to the leisurely life that comes with summer. So to bring that bounce back into your step, and bring out your already pre-existing work qualities, we have devised three ways that can help polish up those good habits, whatever they may be.
1. Schedule good habits back into your life: Give your good habits a specific space in your life. There are two main options for making this happen:
- Put it on your calendar: Give yourself a time and place where it needs to happen.
- Tie it to your current behavior: Not all of your habits will fit a specific timeframe, but they all should have a trigger that acts as a reminder to do them. The bottom line of this is that it is good to tell yourself that you're going to change, but getting more specific makes it real, and it gives you a reason and a reminder to get back on track whenever you slip up.
2. Stick to your schedule, even in small ways: it's critical to stick to your schedule, even if it's only in a very small way.
- It's not the individual impact of missing your schedule that's a big deal. It's the cumulative impact of never getting back on track. If you miss one workout, you don't suddenly feel more out of shape than you were before.
- The changes of these things makes a difference. It results in the Impact of always sticking to your schedule and will carry you to long-term success.
3. Focus on what you can work with: Don't waste so much time focusing on what is withheld from you. This is especially true after you slip up and get off track from your goals.
- It's not easy, but I know for sure that your life will be better if you choose to feel uncomfortable and make progress, rather than complain and make excuses. Shift your focus from what is withheld from you to what is available to you.
- It's rare that your circumstances prevent you from making any progress. You might not like where you have to start. Your progress might be slow and unsexy. But you can work with this.
