5 Steps to Building a New Routine


There's a force that follows the work we do and the effort we make towards changing our habits. This force comes after we have made an effort at something or a task and takes over the work for a while. But unless we continue at what we're doing, the force slows down and finally stops.

It's like starting up a new business. At first, we exert so much energy into getting it up and running. But at a point, if we make no move, it starts to slow down it's pace of growth. However, if we keep making efforts, it goes on thriving and these efforts we make soon becomes a routine for us.

Building a routine is necessary if we are to achieve any goal in life. Routines are actions we take on a daily basis towards the achievement of our goal. For example, if you want to get your eating under control and lose weight, you have to build new routines that will help you achieve your goal. It can be making a note of all that goes into your mouth throughout the day. It is advisable to choose one habit at a time and work on it until you achieve success, then you can chose another until all are addressed.

- Think about the goal you want to achieve and write down the choices you think will help you achieve your goal. This choices are to be made based on your core values and beliefs to be sure they are things that you can do.

- Once your choice has been made, put them to work through adopting new behaviors that are in line with your choices. Now adopting new behaviors can prove to be difficult but it takes disciple to pull them off. Discipline remember is doing what you have to do whether you feel like it or not, Brian Tracy.

- Remember habits are behaviors and actions we have taken repeatedly over time that they have become our way of life. For example, going to school or work, brushing our teeth and so on. Repeat these choices you have made over a long period of time, say three weeks, till it becomes a habit.
