As much as some of us like to think that we are carefree rebels. Newsflash - our lives are ruled by habit. Routine (or a sequence of mini-routines strung together throughout the day) is paramount. If you want to change some bad habits it will take time. Slowly, slowly catch the monkey.
Don't be disheartened. There are little things you can do that, over time, mean great changes can be made to your routine to your advantage.
Taking the time to assess your current routine and determining what needs to change is the first step. Identify your goal (or goals) and move from there. Recognise that you will not change overnight. People rarely do. To affect change you need to be consistent. Take one day at a time and, if you fail, try again the next day. Focus on your goal to get you through.
Make one change at a time. Don't try to go with the big bang theory. You are setting yourself up for failure. Take it slowly. You will get there. With determination and perseverance you can do anything.
When you slip, refocus. Take a breath and start again.
It's not how many times you get knocked down that count, it's how many times you get back up.
George A. Custer
And remember that even the most ambitious people in the world struggle with change. You can do it!
