Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - September 11th


You have the chance every single morning to make that change and be the person you want to be. - Brendon Burchard

With the right habits, anyone can dramatically increase results and become a high performer in almost any field of endeavor. – Brendon Burchard

A change in bad habits leads to a change in life. - Jenny Craig

The only proper way to eliminate bad habits is to replace them with good ones. - Jerome Hines

Over the summer months, did the snooze button get hit a lot?  Is this a new “bad” habit started due to the craziness of summer?  Stand-up comedian Demetrius Martin said:  

If you really think about it, hitting the snooze button on your alarm clock doesn’t even make sense.  It’s like saying, ‘I hate getting up in the morning—so I do it over, and over, and over again…’

Summer months are wonderful and there is definitely a time for rest and relaxation.  However, now that the fall action plan is created, and a daily routine is being implemented, this is a great time to rid the daily routine of any “bad” habits. 

When instituting new habits into daily life, remember the following points:

1.       There is not a “one-size-fits-all solution for habit change” as discussed in Terri’s Tuesday Tip of the Week on February 7, 2017 (https://tuesdaytipoftheweek.blogspot.com/2017/02/terris-tuesday-tip-of-week-february-7th.html).  It is important to find what works for your life.   

2.       To have behavioral change, it all comes down to incorporating a new “response” when a trigger “cue” occurs in the daily routine and then a “reward”.  To learn more, read Terri’s Tuesday Tip of the Week from March 7, 2017 (https://tuesdaytipoftheweek.blogspot.com/2017/03/terris-tuesday-tip-of-week-march-7th.html). 

CHALLENGE:  Determine if there are any “bad” habits from the summer that need to be changed and create a “cue-response-reward” plan to change bad habits into good habits.
