You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.

Systems >Goals

The goal is not to read X amount of books, it is to become a reader. Knowing why you want to develop a particular habit will make it easier to do it

We are required to unlearn all our old, unconscious set patterns and habits that cause hindrances to form newer, better ones.Analyse what you do throughout the day to really know what you're spending time on. Time every activity for a day, as if you were observing a third person

Progress Requires Unlearning

And prove it to yourself with small wins. Don't feel like working out? Spend 30mins on a walk. But never skip it!

Decide The Kind Of Person You Want To Be

Try to harbour an environment that rewards the behaviour you wish to develop

Behaviours Following Satisfying Consequences Are Learned

Every step we take, every habit we develop, every decision has a compounded effect in the long run. For instance, without good health, you will be short on energy. Without energy, you'll feel lethargic which will intrun affect productivity. As the inevitable cycle goes on, feelings of self doubt surface.

Everything Has A Domino Effect

In reality, what we crave if not the habit itself, but the change in state which it delivers A smoker doesn't actually crave a cigarette, but the feeling of stress relief which he/she has associated with the act of smoking.

A crucial step to change your behaviour is maintaining awareness of what we are actually doing. We can't eliminate bad habits we don't know about!

Become Aware

When we make a specific plan for when and where we will perform a new habit we are more likely to follow through

Make Wishes Into Concrete Plan Of Action

Start by writing something like this on your desk I will do X at this particular time and location

Making It Obvious

Behaviour is a function of the person in their respective environmentPeople often choose products on the basis of where they are. We are more likey to drink water if we keep a bottle in front of us at all times. Or even place bottles at different places throughout our environment

Favourite Quotes By Kurt Lewin

We often set out unrealistic expectations from ourselves, of things like I'll not doom scroll- but instead of taking the extreme route of going cold Turkey, we can alter the type of content we consume while doom scrolling, and later focus on reducing time on consuming unnecessary resources slowly

Fix Your Inputs, And The Outputs Will Fix Themselves

You're a runner, if you have a stack of undeniable proof of going for a run on a regular basis. Similarly, becoming the version of yourself you aim to be, happens when you work on building that stack of proof to support your habit

Habits Are A Part Of Your Identity

Until you make the unconscious, concious decision, it will direct your life and you will call it Fate

One Of My Favourite Quote By Carl Jung

Work on how you INTEND to IMPLEMENT

Implementation Intention

Instead of spending hours on planning, we can get up and take action to execute it! Planning doesn't ensure doing the task, actually getting up to do it does!

Process Is The Actual Progress

We read a lot of books, but often forget what we've read. I recently picked up Atomic Habits by James Clear to re-read it after almost a year, and it blew my mind how much difference it has made in my daily routine!
