Human beings are habitual creatures. You can’t simply change if you’re not prepared for the change itself. That’s right; it’s an uphill task to change things that you are not ready to change.
Let’s be honest; can you really start that new diet regime, gym plan or quit smoking if you cannot find within you the strength to do it? “Your energy should come from within you,” says Michael Singer is his book The Untethered Soul. The problem is that we’re tethered to a vicious loop of “started something new, trying to get it right, not feeling right, feel like giving up, trying one more time and then give up at last.”
No matter how you look at it, the change – or at least the motivation for the change – should come from within. In fact, understanding the fundamental of habit change is actually half the journey; it determines 50% of the success of the change.
That brings us to the central tenet of How to Improve Your Life in Just a Month.
Can We Really Improve in Just A Month?
How to Improve Your Life in Just a Month is a comprehensive article written by Benjamin P. Hardy, a PhD candidate in Motivation Psychology. It’s all about finding your own path to personal growth and success in life.
According to Mr. Hardy, there should be an actual “flow of habit change.” That is, you cannot exact the change suddenly. If you’re quitting alcohol, for instance, you cannot do it cold turkey. You need to ease into it.
For starters, you need first to understand very clearly who you genuinely want to become. This way, you can keep your mind straight towards your goal. Once there, you can now list out small actionable things you can do towards that goal.
That means you need to plan what you want to do the night before and stop doing what most of the others are doing. Don’t be a copycat. Lastly but not least, Benjamin P. Hardy encourages that you should know your limits. This way, you can push them further and live your life on your own terms.
Set the Fundamentals Clear and Strong Before You Start Anything New
Making life changes can become quite difficult if you cannot get your goals and mindset clear. After all, it’s your attitude that determines your actions – and your actions will determine your success. Once you have grasped this concept, you are ready to experience personal growth and live on your own terms.
