Habits are thoughts that you keep repeating, we’ve said it before and we will say it again. Your lifestyle is completely up to you, in your control, and within your power of making yourself the best version of you. So here are some tips to make new habits.
Tip #1
Pick one small habit that means the most to you, and start with that. start with it a few times a week and daily, don’t overwhelm yourself.
Tip #2
Stop making excuses. Don’t think about it and talk yourself out of it.
Tip #3
Make it convenient for you to do the “habit”, make it easier on yourself and for your brain to just do it, remove the obstacles and excuses.
Tip #4
Stay consistent, but if you skip a day don’t throw yourself down for that but commit to doing it the next day.
Tip #5
Remind yourself why you started this habit. Re-evaluate and re-adjust how this habit is working on your life or what you can do to improve it.
