In the American Journal of Psychology it is defined in this way: "A habit, from the standpoint of psychology, is a more or less fixed way of thinking, willing, or feeling acquired through previous repetition of a mental experience." Habits are routines of behavior that are repeated regularly and tend to occur subconsciously. Believe me or not, but how happy, successful and fulfilled you are in your life is the result of your habits.
“I’m ready for change”, - I said to myself and wrote my “Why power”.
What is a Habit Tracker?
Habit tracker is a tool, which helps you to measure whether you did a habit or not. The trackers help you to be more mindful of your habits.
What can you track with the trackers, which I prepared for you?
For the beginning, you need 6 trackers: habit tracker&progress tracker will help you to adopt new habits and boost your productivity. Four other trackers are: food tracker, water tracker, sleep tracker and workout tracker will help you to have a clear and healthy mind. Do you know what “Mens sana in corpore sano” means? Mens sana in corpore sano is a Latin phrase, which means that a healthy mind is in a healthy body.
Do you want to have a healthy body and a clear mind? Do you want to stay on track with your goals? If your answer is YES, then download the trackers and find ways to motivate yourself and take the necessary actions to achieve your goals.
The actions steps towards new habits that stick:
Don’t think about a habit as it’s an obligation. Change the focus from “obligation” to “experiment”. Remember, no rules, no obligations, repeat to yourself: “It’s just an experiment, it’s just one month”.
Try to explain to your brain that it’s only for now (let’s say that you want to quit drinking coffee, believe me, or not, but you will think about coffee all the time. I’m sure that you don’t want “coffee” to rule your life, that’s why I encourage you to say to yourself: “It’s just one day without coffee”, another day, repeat the same and you will see that it’s not that bad without coffee (coffee is just an example).
Analyze how you can make it easier to implement a new habit to your life. For example, read about the benefits of life without coffee.
Surround yourself with people who lift you higher, respect you and your life choices. Again, let’s say that you want to quit drinking coffee and your partner/friends don’t quit this habit (remember, that’s totally fine, you don’t have to avoid them and don’t push on them to quit drinking coffee with you, respect other people’s life choices, be an example and inspire them to quit drinking coffee if you want best for people you love). Just tell to your partner/friends about your new habits and ask politely not to invite you for coffee, but instead, let them invite you for a cup of delicious tea or whatever you like; there’re so many options nowadays, but please, avoid drinking sugary drinks (it doesn’t worth it).
I highly recommend you the tea attached below:
Talking about people in the 21st century, it worth to mention the influencers on social media. Follow the ones who inspire you, who share their knowledge and experience, not selfies.
When you lose motivation, come back to your “why power” and read it once in a while. If you’re anything like me, you can write your “why power” and put it to the wall at home (it’s what I usually do and it helps me a lot).
Last but not least, visualize the result! Always! Just imagine your best life. Now! Imagined? Write it down.
How to track the habits?
Remember the one thing, your work on the habit does not begin when you track the progress, your work on the habit begins when you realize that you want to do it and when you start a research (reading a blog is the first step towards the realization of your big goal), which means that you’re on the right direction towards your goal realization.
I won’t be tired to repeat hundred of thousands of time that planning is the most important stage in working on a habit.
First of all, plan the day when will you print your trackers and set up the day for a new chapter in your life.
Tracking the habits is so easy because all you have to do is to add your habit and start crossing off the days, placing an X on each day or something more design-oriented. Do whatever feels good to you, there’re no exact rules, you’re the one who sets the rules for yourself about how you use your trackers and live your life.
I recommend you to sit down at the end of the day with a cup of your favourite tea or water with a lemon slice and fill in the boxes for the habits you did or you didn’t, it will take you only 5 minutes of your time. Do 5 minutes worth to be closer to your goals? 5 minutes – big goal; 5 minutes – big goal and one more time 5 minutes of your time daily and boooooom - the realization of your life goals! I think that it worth it, but not every one thinks this way, that’s why not everyone feels fulfilled in life.
How to start?
Schedule 15 minutes of your precious time and ask yourself five simple, but very important questions:
1. What habits do I want to implement to my life?
2. What is my “Why Power”?
3. How new habits will help me to be closer to my goals?
4. What will I achieve after one month with my new habits?
5. What will I achieve in a year?
If you don’t know how to set the goals, schedule your consultation via the form below
