I committed to building daily habits 8 years back and formed these habits.
- 7 months of daily tweets
- 34 months of zero caffeine
- 43 months of daily blogging
- 103 months of regular meditation
Sharing 4 things that helped me the most. ?
1/
Not skipping a daily habit two days in a row.
Because if you do, it is easy to get derailed.
2/
Starting small and keeping a daily minimum.
I started by meditating for 5 mins every morning.
Added 5 mins in the evening.
Once this habit was formed, I increased morning meditation to 30 mins.
3/
Finding a tribe or doing it with them.
My sister was/is my accountability partner for most of these habits.
I keep her posted on my progress and struggles, and she mostly listens.
But when needed, she asks me to stay on track, and it works.
4/
Giving myself visual cues.
For anything important, put your daily action plan out of your head and put it in a place where you can see it every day.
Like a whiteboard and strike off every time you do it.
Hope it helps you with habit building.
