Early to bed, early to rise.

Good living habits vary from person to person, and different living environments lead to different living habits. Starting from small children, every day home from school, the first homework, and then eat dinner, and then let them move freely, or watch their favorite cartoons, go to bed early at night, get up early in the morning, and go to school on time, the formation of these good habits must be in the parents to help, remind and supervise them in order to gradually develop, habits become nature, good habits everyone likes, the child will also become a teacher, the parents like! Good children.

Adolescent children, the development of good habits, parents can not help much, they sleep late, get up late in the morning, parents to remind them just full of promise, good habits to rely on them to develop their own. Adults to develop good habits, we must have the spirit of self-discipline, every day to force themselves to do what should be done, time often, naturally develop a habit. Elderly people are fine, they already have their own habits, as long as they are healthy and comfortable, they can live as they like.

There is nothing difficult in the world, only fear of people who have the will. Everything is valued in persistence and self-discipline! Distribute your energy well and you can develop a good habit

Habits determine a person's life, a good habit can make a person benefit for life. However, it is not easy to develop a good habit. Often, we do not stick to it long enough to give up. Is it because we are not active enough, not hard enough, not serious enough? Most people blame themselves. In fact, it is not, the problem is not us, but we use the wrong strategy.

Stephen Gass, author of the book Microhabit, who was originally an average geek, began experimenting on himself and started working on habit-forming strategies since 2012 in order to change that. He did at least 1 push-up every day, insisted on reading 1 page of a book, and insisted on writing 50 words. After two years, he developed good reading, writing and fitness habits and realized a transformation in his life. He came up with a behavioral strategy that can be adhered to over time - micro-habits.

I. What are micro-habits?

Microhabits are very small positive behaviors that don't burden people with any resistance. So when you do things with microhabit thinking, they are often easy to achieve.

If you want to adopt a new habit, the most effective way to do it is to drastically downsize the habit into a miniature version of the habit. For example, take 100 push-ups a day and reduce them to 1 a day; take 1 hour of reading a book a day and reduce it to 1 page a day. Micro-habits are big habits broken down into micro-behaviors that are too small to say [no] to, and asking yourself to stick to them every day, ultimately transforming your self completely.

Second, why do micro-habits stick?

Micro-habits allow us to switch from a state of rest to a state of motion with a few small steps and a small amount of willpower, and create a strong inertia that helps us to keep going. MicroHabits effectively breaks through the two major resistance forces of "lack of motivation and willpower" that hinder habit formation, and improves self-efficacy through small successes.

III. The 8 Steps to Microhabit Formation

Step 1: Choose the right microhabit for you

What's right is best, don't blindly compare yourself with others.

Step 2: Tap into the intrinsic value of each microhabit

Find your inner drive rather than external pressures.

Step 3: Clarify the basis of the habit and put it on the agenda

Rationalize and implement step-by-step based on self-timed behaviors.

Step 4: Establish a reward mechanism to enhance the sense of achievement with incentives

When you can't hold out, small rewards strengthen willpower.

Step 5: Record and track completion

Do microhabit summaries before bed to reinforce brain imprinting.

Step 6: Start in trace amounts and go over the top

Start with the smallest goals and gradually most overshoot them.

Step 7: Obey the program and get rid of high expectations

There will be high expectations after overshooting and obeying the daily trace.

Step 8: Watch for signs of habit formation

Signs of habit formation: "There is no resistance, and it is uncomfortable not to finish", "I can start the action every time without thinking about it", "Behavior has been normalized like eating and drinking water " and so on. When these situations occur, it means that your habit has been formed.

The microhabit mindset greatly reduces the difficulty of developing good habits, so that we are no longer afraid or psychologically pressurized, but choose to act and persevere. We can't make a big difference without short steps, and we can't make a big difference without small steps. Small steps make a big difference, and time will tell.

How can I stick to good habits? (Original question)

1. Attitude determines results.

The degree to which a determined attitude toward developing a certain habit leads to results. The why of the habit is more important than the how. The road to habit formation is either a lack of motivation or a lack of willingness to make the appropriate effort.

2. Each habit has its own growth pattern.

Gradual progress is the best way to form a habit, and sporadic effort is the worst way to form a habit. Everything has a process of sprouting, growing and thriving, and so do habits.

3. It takes time to develop habits.

Patience is the hotbed of habit, love is the friend of habit. Allow it to be repetitive, allow it to stagnate, allow it to be intermittent, allow it to take up time. But, for large periods of time, allow the habit to grow slowly.

4. Leave a mark.

Keep a daily record of each habit and compare it back and forth, and you'll have a great sense of accomplishment and the fulfillment of growing up with good habits.

5. Group effects.

Take one or more good habits and bring other good habits to grow slowly.

Early to bed, early to rise, regular exercise

A person's habits are hard to change, if they want to turn bad habits into good ones. It takes time and perseverance and should never be done in three days.

A detailed plan needs to be made, one small goal per day, nothing too difficult, and over the course of a year I'm sure it will make a big difference.

Once you have accomplished all the goals within the program, it will take persistent patience and perseverance. As long as you stick to it I believe you will develop good habits!

It's important to develop a good habit.

For children from a young age to develop a hygienic and polite, grow up certainly popular. From a young age to develop good study habits, parents must be less super heart. Such children are very self-disciplined and do things to the utmost.

Developing a good habit can seem scary to others, and often these people have OCD. But they are more likely to succeed than the average layperson.

It takes 21 days to develop a good habit, and always remind yourself to do it well. For example, in writing, if you practice or copy what your teacher asks you to do every day, after a while your writing will be prettier than it was before.

People with good habits are hard on themselves and have no sand in their eyes.

To be successful, a person has to force himself to develop good habits first, with good habits, you can have better energy and state to face the challenges of life. However, in real life, I find many people, with bad habits, including myself. I am now, working hard to change myself, hoping that one day, I can develop good habits!

One, to develop good habits, starts with these, which we should all look at and put into action

Don't look at your cell phone when you walk, and don't take it to bed with you.

Cell phone, it seems to have become a necessary tool, no matter where we go, we will see someone holding a cell phone in the look, in play. Look at the phone, play the phone, it's normal, but walking to look at the phone, go to bed to play the phone, it's not normal, we all know, but many people just can't do it, to which I would like to say, we should all wake up.

2. Insist on waking up early and eating breakfast every day

When I was a kid, we all ate breakfast on time, and when I grew up, a lot of people stopped eating breakfast, not eating, but getting up too late. Really, the matter of getting up in the morning, it should be a morning thing, but many people are delayed until noon, or even in the afternoon, for which I can only fold, five bodies. I still want to say a word, get up early, eat a breakfast, back to normal.3, adhere to the exercise

When it comes to exercising consistently, I believe that most of them would be in favor of it, but once it comes back to reality, most of them can't do it. Would rather sit still, would rather play games, would rather handle the phone, watching small videos, just do not want to exercise, after all, I am still very healthy for the time being, but also tossed up. Well, all I can say is, you're good, and I hope you'll still be good when you're old.

4. Stop complaining and self-reflect

Complaining, like poison, but many people often eat, and eat non-stop, he is either complaining about life, or complaining about God, but also complain about others. To be a human being, we must understand that complaining is useless and will only harm ourselves. Instead of complaining, we should self-reflect and self-improve. When you become good, when you become strong, your life will become better, you will not complain, you complain, just their own incompetence!

5. Keep reading and keep learning

Learning, is the foundation of our progress, develop good study habits, adhere to reading, your knowledge will be richer, your life will be more colorful. Learning is free, but its value is inestimable, adhere to the study of people, in order to keep pace with the times, in order to seize the opportunity to better grasp the opportunity to live a good life, the road of life walk beautiful!

Of course, there are many good habits, but these five points above, I think, are the most practical and closest to our daily lives, and we should all try to do better to make ourselves better!

We can start with micro-habits.

Stephen, author of Micro Habits, talks about his success. Starting in 2012, he insisted on doing at least 1 push-up a day, which was the first microhabit he developed for himself. Then he increased his microhabit to writing 50 words and reading 300 words a day. Two years later, he had the fit body of his dreams and was writing 4 times as much as he used to, and that's how the book Microhabit was written. Now, he reads 10 times more books a day than he used to, and has started his own blog to share his experiences with people every day.

A microhabit is a very small positive behavior but requires you to force yourself to accomplish it every day, such as doing 1 push-up a day, memorizing 1 English word, etc.; it's simple enough, so simple that it's impossible to fail, so it doesn't create any burden; which makes it a highly advantageous habit-forming strategy that allows us to easily develop a good habit.

According to Stephen, micro-habits have three advantages: firstly, they are in line with the brain's workings and do not make the brain resistant; secondly, they overcome the two main difficulties of taking action, namely the difficulty of starting and the difficulty of sticking to it; and thirdly, they don't have to rely on the motivation of a cockamamie and the willpower of a clenched jaw to develop a habit.

How do you develop micro-habits?

Stephen tells a true story. American talk show host Jerry Seinfeld, who is called a pioneer in the field of micro-habits, has a famous practice of writing some jokes every day before he goes to bed, and when this task is completed, he puts an x on his calendar. He knew that keeping track of his daily progress was the key to creating a habit and improving his bag shaking.

Before one of his shows, he told young comedian Brad Isaac the secret to his high production. Brad quoted Jerry in a post for the Lifehacker blog: In a few days you'll have a chain of acts. All you have to do is maintain it, and as time passes, the chain of behaviors will grow. After a few weeks of experience, you'll be happy to see this long chain of behaviors. The only thing you have to do next is not to break it.

We can break down and amplify Jerry's approach and summarize the steps to developing micro-habits:

1. Choose a micro-habit: keep writing some jokes every day.

2. Tapping into the intrinsic value of micro-habits: the ability to become a prolific talk show host.

3. Clarify the schedule for micro-habits: every day before bedtime.

4. Record and track the completion of daily micro-habits: put an x on the calendar.

5. Satisfy your brain with rewards when you reach it: look at the long xxx on the calendar, the chain of your own behaviors, and be happy.

6, trace to start, overshoot: can write a joke to reach the goal, if the state can write more better.

According to Stephen, any tiny behavior that can become a habit is important and quite significant. There are three keys to being able to do it consistently: one is to make the goal so small that the brain is unaware of it, and make sure it can be accomplished under any conditions. There's no need to set a bigger goal, long term persistence is more important than single intensity; two, even if you forget because of a hectic day, even getting it done at the last second is a win; and three, watch out for the signs of habit formation, if you're motivated to do it when it's time, that means you've reached a goal and can reward yourself for it.

You may believe that if we get used to exercising for 20 minutes a day, it will be enough to change your physique; if we get used to eating healthier food, it will be enough to improve your body; and if we get used to waking up one hour earlier every day, it will be enough to read an additional 365 hours a year. If you read an average of 300 words per minute, you could read an additional 6.57 million words per year, or 131 books of 50,000 words, which would be enough to help you grow in knowledge and talent.

Doing just a little bit each day can really change a lifetime.
