The Unpleasant Habits’ Path
Do you know what makes people successful? Healthy habits performed every day.
- Make the habit so simple you can’t say no. Let it involve the smallest effort, so it doesn’t considerably change your life in the beginning.
- Use the 5 Seconds Rule. Start as soon as possible with the practice and act before your mind makes excuses.
- Improve your habit by 1% every day. Once you established a habit, improve it slowly, without overdoing.
- Convince yourself of its worth. Keep in mind the marshmallow experiment and use it to motivate yourself to stick on a habit.
