Depending
on what they are, our habits will either make us or break us. We become what we
repeatedly do. - Sean Covey
Make
no mistake about it. Bad habits are called 'bad' for a reason. They kill our
productivity and creativity. They slow us down. They hold us back from
achieving our goals. And they're detrimental to our health. - John Rampton
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is
what keeps you going. - Jim Ryun
The “dog days of summer” will soon be
ending and the weather will be cooling down.
In a couple months, the leaves will be changing colors!
During this wonderful, relaxing
summer, have you started any new “bad” habits that you need to find a way to
stop? According to The Power of Habit author
Charles Duhigg, the best time to stop/change a habit is during vacation. He says changing environments removes the cues
and rewards that the individual receives when participating in a “bad” habit so
the disruption of their “normal routine” provides a great time to change a
habit.
CHALLENGE: As you plan for the final relaxing activities of
the summer and plan maybe one last get-away, create a list of “bad” habits that
you need to change/remove from your life to help refocus on accomplishing your
2017 goals.
