Reward yourself When you create an image of how you desire to be, come up with a way to enjoy the process as you reach this image. Be generous: reward yourself for healthy routines. When you give yourself positive feedback for your habitual acts, you'll strive to perform them again.
Remember what you've wanted to do for a long time. Maybe it's to
parachute out of a plane or spend two weeks of carefree surf and relaxation on a beautiful beach. Create a present for yourself for a month of disciplined routines and let your desires become your rewards.
The psychology of habits suggests that you'll stick with a new habit much easier if you care about inspiring rewards and powerful motivation. After that, having only one great reward — your desirable image — will be enough. You'll perform the habit just because it makes you better.
Bet on it If you love challenges and competitions, you can use them to motivate yourself to form habits. Make a deal with your friend, co-worker, or family member. For example:
If I meditate for 10 minutes every morning for a month, my friend will pay for my gas the whole next month. If I don't, then I will refuel his auto. Here are a few tips for making a good deal:
- Choose a habit you actually want to build.
- Make a bet that means something to you. Otherwise, you might quickly give up.
- Ask your friends and family to support you with your habit so that doing it is positive and easygoing.
