Really tiny habits, such as doing one squat, declaring “I am enough” in front of the mirror after you brush your teeth in the morning, or writing one sentence for your book or article. Through my journey of being coached I learnt so much about myself and how I have been holding myself down. So using these tools helped me a lot. To be accountable for my actions. People around me even see the change in me.” – G.Z. Those habits are so tiny, that your brain and willpower are enough to sustain them until they become automatic. I know this can feel frustrating. I struggle often enough to focus just on one thing at a time. That’s also partly because, sometimes, we’re not 100% sure about the habits we are trying to implement. We are just trying stuff out. That’s OK, but once you know what you want, you probably should go all in and focus on this one habit. Why Is It So Difficult To Change Habits?

Even just seeing how I feel about my life on a wheel opened my eyes to what I need to concentrate on. I am amazed at what just two sessions have done for me.” – C.L. For Mihret, a successful session is an opportunity to educate others and to learn from them, all with a spirit of humility. If you hold a magnifying glass over a small pile of dry leaves as the sun shines bright on the hottest afternoon of the whole year, NOTHING will happen… So, before you decided to implement another habit, ask yourself the following question: are you truly running on autopilot, or do you still need some willpower to perform the 1 habit you chose to implement, first?

Why Focus On Just One Habit At A Time?

What’s really difficult when changing a habit is the tension between trying to rationally and consciously understand and change a subconscious behavior. Understanding WHY you do something on autopilot can be difficult, as it is not a conscious decision of yours to act in a certain way. And vice-versa – making sure that a conscious decision to implement a habit becomes an automatic behavior requires work, willpower, and a lot of (successful) repetition. For instance, if you want to have a healthy diet and lifestyle, maybe you can start by drinking 1 or 2 glasses of water 15 to 30 minutes before every meal. Or you could want to start putting some sort of intermittent fasting in place. Another option is to eat 10 portions of fruits and vegetables a day. Maybe it’s worth focusing on just 1 habit over a few weeks or months if this means that you will keep it virtually forever? Sources:

I have always battled with the setting of very clear and realistic goals. The sessions, and the way my coach guided my own thought pattern, helped me to see how to approach goal setting so that it is much more realistic and achievable in the time allotted.” – R.L. The answer may surprise you: It’s not the number of minutes they spend awake and working hard each day that’s the issue—it’s that they often spend 99% of those minutes juggling too many things at once. Your opportunity right now is to realize that you are the magnifying glass in your own life, and that you can intentionally focus the energy you get from the world on one single leaf at a time. When you do so, you will ignite incredible “flames” that move your projects, your dreams, your relationships and even the world around you, forward. (Angel and I discuss this in more detail in the “Goals and Success” chapter of 1,000 Little Things Happy, Successful People Do Differently.) Your turn… Mihret also encourages hosts to immerse themselves in their session topic to not only speak confidently about the field but also to answer questions from session participants. Which one of these habits do you feel will have the most impact on your life, if you JUST implement this one?Thanks, dear reader, for taking the time to read this post.

For instance, it may take you a few months to automatically go to the gym twice a week, precisely because this habit only happens twice a week. On the other hand, provided you put in the work and focus, you could get over your habit of biting your nails in just a few days or weeks, since this happens several times a day. The last component you should be planning precisely is the time at which you want to perform the new habit. It can be a specific time of the day, but it can also be right after a specific event. For instance “right after I get up, or right after I brush my teeth or have lunch”… You get the point. In our other article, How Long Does It REALLY Take To Break A Bad Habit? you’ll find that there is no exact science to it. That’s because every habit and person is unique. Also, it seems like how long you need to change a habit has more to do with frequency – how often you have repeated the habit over a certain period – than with a particular number of days or weeks.

Sorry, but as someone who is fervently against the dangers of distracted driving, this makes light of the situation. Non-motorist deaths on the RISE in the U.S. because of cell phones and distracted driving. It should be – assuming you don’t crash into another person and kill THEM because you overvalue your own importance.

Remember this…

You may still feel skeptical that taking such small steps, one at a time, might lead to great results. I recommend you read through zenhabits.com’s successful founder Leo Barbauto’s Q&A here. It’s really tough to be patient enough to create long-lasting habits. But if you know for sure that you want a certain behavior to become a new habit forever, then focusing on this one habit until it becomes automatic is the way to go. Another reason why you should focus on just one habit at a time is that, depending on the habit you’ve chosen, the process of successfully changing this habit can be fairly difficult… And that’s because you’re unique, and you need to find habits and implementations that are custom-made for you. You’re opening up a new world to them,” Mihret adds. “With your session, you’re introducing them not only to a topic they were unfamiliar with but also to a whole set of careers to pursue.” Most trainees – even those who cruise through the theory – find themselves confronted with a serious bout of nerves just prior to embarking on the process of applying their knowledge in real live coaching situations. It works wonders for me! I talk about the amazing results I’ve achieved thanks to this method so far in this video, maybe you’ll find the idea helpful, too.

We’ve recently made it a goal to re-connect with certified coaches and ask them to share a few of the stories of how their coaching efforts have resulted in changing lives for the better. For instance, if you plan on being more physically active, it is not enough to say “I will exercise”. This is not precise enough. Instead, be more specific. For instance, you could decide “I will do 20 push-ups, 20 crunches, and 20 squats”. Now that is specific enough.Be careful here. It’s possible that you choose what I would call a “super-habit” – a habit which is actually composed of many “sub-habits”.
