ATOMIC HABITS

 


You have to learn how to break bad habits and build good ones by bringing tiny changes in your day-to-day life. If you like to transform your life for a better future, follow these key ideas of the atomic habits to get remarkable results.

Habits Are The Compound Interest Of Personal Growth.

We often overlook the significance of following tiny habits. We think they are too small to affect us in any way. But the fact is that every habit and action, no matter how small or big it is, affects us - either in a positive way or negative ones.

Habits work against you or work for you. You cannot run from its effects in any way. If you add a small good habit into your life and practice it daily in a small quantity, it will stick in your life and increase in proportion because time magnifies everything.

The same goes for a bad habit. If you want to weed out the bad ones, remove them slowly. Because abrupt changes disrupt you more and you come back to it more intensely. So, remove them slowly and gradually. Commit yourself to the process and you will win. 

Work On Your System Instead Of Setting The Goals.

Setting the goals is easy. You can select a lot of goals every day and forget about them. It cost nothing to set lofty goals if you are not working on achieving them.

Instead of setting goals, which is easy, work on your system because the system is the means to your goals. For example, if you want to win a competitive game, focus more on improving your system of life. Make yourself fit for achieving endless goals. If you have a weak body and mental system, setting goals would not bring you any good. If you work on your system and make it fit, achieving any goal will be easy and you will win the game always.

Focus On Who You Want To Become And Not On What You Want To Achieve.

Identity plays an important role in our lives. You need to know who you are and who you want to become instead of what you want to achieve. Instead of achieving something, focus on becoming the person you wish to be.

For achieving our goals, we often change the wrong thing in the wrong way. For example, there are two scenarios, firstly, you want to lose weight and secondly, you want to become a person who exercises regularly with consistency. Focusing on losing weight alone is a good thing but it does make your identity and hence, has bad connotations. Concentrating on becoming the person who regularly exercises with commitment and consistency is working on your self-image.

Both the above scenarios have a subtle difference but they affect your life a lot in different ways. In one, you want to achieve a goal and once achieved, you will discontinue the practice. While on the other hand, you will become the person you wish to be, which will make your identity. In becoming the desired personality, you will achieve a lot of goals and adopt long-lasting habits that will become your identity.

Make Good Habits Obvious, Attractive, Easy And Satisfying.

Getting rid of bad habits is not easy. But building good ones is also a lot difficult if you do not make good habits obvious, attractive, easy and satisfying. You can form an identity by willpower but willpower alone is not enough because sometimes you may feel down. If you want to stick to your good habits, manipulate your surroundings to make your good habits attractive, easy, obvious and satisfying.

You make your habits obvious by knowing the outcomes you are getting in the process. The changes it brings in you should be clear in your personality and the goals you are achieving.

You can make your good habits attractive by adding a fun factor to them. If you are running, choose a place that provides mental solace like a beachfront, riverbank or natural greenery. Add your favourite music to the list to listen to on the run track. This pattern will make your habit more attractive to you.

At first, forming a habit consumes a lot of energy by deliberately focusing on it. But when you repeatedly do, it becomes automatic and easy. It becomes that part of your personality and routine. Once it becomes automatic, it becomes easy. So, repeat the habit consistently until it becomes easy. Remove the hurdles along the way. 

Make your good habits satisfying. You can do it by rewarding yourself. You can also get rid of bad habits such as smoking and drinking. When you feel the urge, replace it with satisfaction such as when you skip smoking, collect the pennies you spend on one cigarette daily and keep it safe. After a year, the price for your daily consumption can make a good sum that can pay for a holiday or a small party. Keep the satisfaction of good habits insight and the dreads of the bad habits too.

Environment Plays A Stronger Role Than Motivation.

Motivation is overrated. It is the environment that plays a significant role in determining your personality. Environment matters are more important in shaping your behaviours.

If you want to adopt good habits and remove bad ones, bring changes in your environment. But the changes should be slow and invisible. Create cues in your environment that trigger positive responses automatically.

You can do it by skipping a meeting with friends and peers who are involved in bad habits. Enjoin people who participate in positive activities or in the habits you want for yourself.

Skipping an old environment and gradually entering a new environment has a powerful effect on your behaviour, habits and overall personality. All this happens through a process and you will slowly emerge as the new person and build the identity you wished.
