Habits are great
Habit not willpower is they key to success
My problem with habits is the time it takes to intentionally create one
I just want to go to the habit shop, buy a habit for whatever I need
Take it home, unwrap it, and do it
Job done
No thinking required
Unfortunately (for me) habits have to be created intentionally
The intentional bit is the bit that helps form the habit
So the act of creating it is also creating it if you see what I mean
As an example
you might say
For work I am always going to wear a dress
This will work fine as long as you have a dress to hand and don’t run out
What happens when all the dresses need cleaning
Had you planned to get a couple cleaned to have ready
The weather changes
Do you have warm weather dresses to hand
or are all your clothes designed for cold weather
In order to always wear a dress for work
you need to develop the habit of the routine
I spend lots of time writing about habit and routine
mainly because I need it myself
and hope to help others with what I myself have desperately needed
You can change anything about your life
if you are willing to change your habit to help you get there
How do you want to look every day
You just need to develop a habit to get you there.
