A few days ago, we had the opportunity to talk to Sebastian about the importance and awareness of rituals and habits. The results are three valuable tips & tricks on how you can implement new habits in the long run.
Three tips for your new Habits
1. Find the benefit of your current Habits 💆♂️
Every Habit has a benefit. Otherwise, you wouldn't be doing it. The cigarette brings relaxation and peace to the smoker. The run brings relaxation and peace of mind to the runner. The benefit is the same - the way to get there is different. If you want to change a habit in your life, become aware of what it has brought you so far and what other ways you can find to fulfill that benefit.
2. Set realistic expectations 💯
Rome was not built in a day. Set yourself very small steps at the beginning. Walk one step after work in the park, workout for 5 minutes in the gym, or take a deep breath as a meditation, for example. When you feel comfortable with that, start increasing the amount. This way you won't overwhelm yourself and will have quick moments of success when you've implemented something new.
3. Find an accountability partner 👯
Make a deal with those around you to check in with them regularly when you get your new habit done. If you forget once, you have to take them out to dinner at a restaurant of their choice, for example. It's fun - and if you really do forget, you'll have a good reason to go out to eat with your loved ones!
