Brian Tracy lays out seven steps to build habits: decide to act 100% of the time, allow no exceptions early on, tell others about it, visualize yourself doing it, repeat an affirmation, keep going until it feels automatic, and reward yourself. He uses waking at 6am as an example.
Over the years, a simple, powerful, proven methodology has been determined for new habit development.
It is very much like a recipe.
For preparing a dish in the kitchen. You can use it to develop any.
Habit that you desire. Over time, you'll find it easier and.
Easier to develop the habits that you.
Want to incorporate into your personality.
Here are the seven steps to developing a new habit.
First, make a decision. Decide clearly that you are going to begin acting in a specific way 100%.
Of the time whenever that behavior is required. For example, if you decide to arise early and exercise each morning, set your clock for a specific time and when.
The alarm goes off, immediately get up.
Put on your exercise clothes, and begin your exercise session. Do this repeatedly until it becomes automatic. Second, never allow an exception to your.
New habit pattern during the formative stages. Don't make excuses or rationalizations.
Don't let yourself off the hook.
If you resolve to get up at 6am each morning, discipline yourself to get up at 6am every single morning until this habit becomes automatic.
A third way to develop a habit is to tell others that you're going.
To begin practicing a particular behavior.
It's amazing how much more disciplined and.
Determined you will become when you know that others are watching you to see.
If you have the willpower to follow through on your resolution.
Fourth, visualize yourself performing or behaving in.
A particular way in a particular situation.
The more often you visualize and imagine.
Yourself acting as if you already had the new habit, the more rapidly this new behavior will be accepted by your.
Subconscious mind and be programmed in as.
A permanent part of your character and personality.
The fifth way is to create an affirmation that you repeat over and over to yourself. This repetition of a command to your.
Subconscious mind dramatically increases the speed at.
Which you develop the new habit.
For example, you can say something like.
I get up and get going immediately at 6am each morning. Repeat these words the last thing before you fall asleep. In most cases, you will automatically wake up minutes before the alarm clock goes off, and soon you'll need no alarm clock at all. A sixth way to develop habits is.
To resolve to persist in the new behavior until it is so automatic and easy that you actually feel uncomfortable when.
You do not do what you've decided to do. And seventh, and perhaps most important, give yourself a reward of some kind for.
Practicing the new behavior. Each time you reward yourself, you reaffirm.
And reinforce that behavior.
Soon you begin to associate at an.
Unconscious level the pleasure of the reward with the behavior.
You set up your own force field.
Of positive consequences that you unconsciously look forward to as a result of engaging in that behavior or habit that you've decided upon. Thank you for viewing this video on.
