Now gaining new habits is not easy for everyone. Most of us are afraid of the thought of cultivating a new habit because it requires change. But cultivating good habits can be a positive attribute that can add value to your life. So how do we cultivate good habits? Most of us have been struck by something after the current pandemic, many of us had to rethink what we have been doing all our lives and were trying to do something new from home. Either if it’s spending time with the family, reading books, doing regular exercise, writing blogs, doing a podcast, etc. Many also had the opportunity to change jobs, to change priorities, and set new milestones. But a few of us have been struggling with the new changes that have happened around us. We are not able to achieve the goals we set. Some of us are not able to do anything in the past and the current situation is just the same as before. There are multiple reasons why we need to rethink the process of cultivating a new habit. <h5>What does a new habit require? </h5>Before having the thought of practicing new habits you might need to consider a few things. New habits sometimes need time and planning which requires a lot of energy. Make sure to have enough fuel in you to cultivate new habits. Now how would you do that? How do you decide you need energy to something?. That is where the reward system comes in. Try to reward yourself with something whenever you spend more energy on something you wanted to do.You certainly don’t have to see results straight away but getting a result in the long term is a need for this reward system. If you don’t attain a result and there is no point in cultivating new habits for a change, because these changes might be unhappy, sacrificing, and time-consuming. But that does not mean you should stop trying. when you know there is a result for all the changes that occur you will be willing to put energy towards it. But if the result is something positive or something that gives some value to you a reward at the end of this slow and gradual process will be heartwarming. To save energy, spend your energy only on what you feel is important to achieve the result. Try to forget the bad habits that come to your mind by blocking them. Focus on the result at the end and make it worth a reward. Although these can’t be achieved overnight it takes patience and concentration to get there.For example, you can decide to stay at the same job with the same salary or upgrade yourself with a certification or newly acquired skill for a better job that provides better pay. You can be an athlete who plays for the same team for years or you can decide to change your routines, increase your performance and go to a better team that can make you better and pay you more. The reward system can be anything materialistic like buying yourself a new car, a watch for all the success you had, but mentally when fulfilling something greater the important reward you get is happiness. According to science the brain loves an reward system, so fuel yourself with good food, Proper sleep, and good habits so that your brain feels rewards and that inurn will keep you happy. Why do we go through all this? at the end only to keep you happy and content. <h5>Things to remember after beginning a new habit</h5>The journey of beginning something new is always easy for many but the obstacles and distractions one might need to go through to successfully achieve with the help of a new habit is challenging. Now when it’s pretty normal for many people to gain a new habit, for a few it’s difficult. The reason here is the obstacles and distractions. when there is something in an “s” it’s quite sure there are more than one. The reason why we get distracted so easily is the brain always looks for a quick reward. These distractions can be something you like so when you get distracted the brain tries to shifts its focus towards an easier reward which here is the short-term happiness. The result of this being breaking the process of cultivating new habits for the desired result. Avoid the short-term rewards that your brain might subconsciously want you to grab, focus on the long-term reward that can be life-changing.

Again where there are more obstacles the brain tends to get further away from it and once again this breaks the process of building a new habit. Think about the final destination that you want to reach, think about the goals you want to achieve. These obstacles can simply be a lesson. Our brain can adapt to these obstacles when faced with so that we know how to handle them better rather than running away from them.As I described in the first line of this article, humans are a creature of habits. If you are able to go through the obstacles and, struggles we can adapt to the habit of overcoming them. This might be a hard-earned reward but it will be a worthy one. The moments in life that you will always remember are the struggles you went through. Those are lessons you learn even if you don’t want to learn but somehow your brain will like those lessons because it has found a way to overcome them. So how to cultivate good habits? there are multiple ways of doing it, and it’s different for everyone. But we can always remember the good habits will reward you better, will keep you happy, and will help you get through difficult times in life. <figure><img alt=""></figure><h5>Lack of motivation to build a new habit</h5>Lack of motivation can also be a reason that you might not be willing to build a new habit. when you don’t have a clear picture of what you are working towards, when you are unsure about your goals, there is a lack of motivation. The lack of motivation to try less, to easily get distracted, and to not willing to face any obstacles. If you have a clear picture of what you are working towards and if that goal gives you greater pleasure or reward, you will be self-motivated to work towards the goal against all odds. So to avoid a lack of motivation you need clarity about things that you need. Even if you don’t know the exact time that it takes to get there, you will know somehow you are going to get there because we always know after a long grinding process there is going to be a greater reward.
