Underway

The Daily Habit Challenge is underway!

Here are a few things for you to keep in mind.

• Day two, the habit should feel easy. The newness will provide motivation on these first days. This motivation will dwindle in the coming days!

• If your habit is already too hard to get done, it’s too ambitious for a daily effort. The key here is to realize how small efforts add up over time.

• Starting on the beginning of the month means nothing. If you didn’t start yesterday, no one cares. Get going today and don’t get hung up about it.

• Have a system to track your habit. Old fashioned calendar with a big X through each day, a habit tracking app or a recurring reminder through your iPhone’s built in Reminders app are all options. The satisfaction of checking it off keeps you engaged in the process.

• I asked Coach T to list the top 3 reasons people won’t stick with their habit, here they are.

• You get “bored” halfway through so you stop.

• You’re unwilling to start up again after stopping or missing a day or two.

• You don’t have clear enough guidelines, or made too big of a habit, so you never really start.
