CHOOSE one habit that you’d like to develop for the next 30 Days. Dream big but start small. Think of doing this new behavior for 30 Days only. That way, it seems more doable.
If you miss doing it in one day, here’s the rule: Go back to Day 1—and start all over again. You don’t want to do that, right? That will be enough reason to keep the habit going every day.
I repeat: You have to do it daily. Not three or four times a week. This is crucial. If it’s an activity that can’t be done daily, then try to choose an alternate activity that you can do at the same time. If you hit the gym every 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays—why not read a book, or take a walk, or swim a few laps at that same time on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday? That way, it will still be a daily experience.
Last Recommendation: Don’t just say, “I’m going to walk daily.” It’ll be more powerful to say, “I’m going to walk at 6 a.m. daily.” Set a specific time.
Doing this little tweak will quadruple your chances of sticking to the habit and making a lifestyle-change.
Have a fantastic 2012!
