How to Find Motivation to Start Changing Habits

Three useful methods to find your motivation to improve your habits.
There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep
Will Durant, American writer
Imagine waking up every morning happy and full of pep and energy. You joyfully hit the ground running, feel healthy and confident, and know that tomorrow will be even better. It's not a superpower. Instead, it's the cumulative effect of simple, steady actions that can help you feel satisfied and enjoy your life. These actions are your habits.
Why habits?

Let's take a look at the benefits good habits can yield. This list might just become the first bit of motivation that inspires you to start changing for the better. With healthy routines, you can:

  • Create a positive mindset
  • See progress in your life
  • Get your body in shape
  • Improve your posture and flexibility
  • Boost your skin's health and beauty
  • Sleep better
  • Be happier and more emotionally stable.

Healthy habits can bring you many more positive results. Right now, the biggest step is getting started and fully feeling your habits' power. We're here to help you do that.

Dream and act
Think about the image of the person you want to be. What features and achievements does this human have? What makes this person happy? It might sound something like this:
I want to be a person who exercises every morning. Working out is great for me because I want to be active and full of energy all day. Then I could be proud of my new achievements and improving my health.
You can use the Habio App to help you create a clear, stimulating motivation that fits your personal needs and desires. Habio also makes it easier to visualize your inspiration so you can achieve it more effectively.

You can also write down what motivates you in your favorite notebook, on a flipchart, on your phone's wallpaper. That way, your motivation will always be within eyeshot. Read it regularly to inspire yourself to be better. Add to that by reading books and biographies about successful people, helpful articles, and useful tips in this blog and the Habio App.

We strongly suggest that you start your journey towards the best version of yourself with a clear, mindful, and strong motivation. Motivated people can move mountains as well as their daily habits. As Jim Ryun said, "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." When you use your imagination and the following tips, your motivation will help you quickly form excellent habits.

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.

Couple these life hacks with a handy habit tracker, daily to-do lists, an idea generator, and more. Habio blog's creators have prepared all these features for you. You can find out more about it at the Habio App. You only need to believe in yourself and take the first step: deciding to become better through good habits.
