the habits we’d like to change
TTve been a life coach for the past seven years, and.
before this I worked as a psychologist for over ten.
years, I've been helping people to change their habits
since the start of my career, and yes, I've been trying
to change my own habits recently, so Tknow how
hhard iti. Time and time again, people have asked me
questions like "want to stop looking at my phone
all the time. Why is it so difficult?’ and “I've been
‘working seven days a week since I was twenty-two.
Can Ireally change that?”
‘To answer these questions, let's look at an example.
Suppose you want to give up coffee and you currently
drink eight cups a day. All that coffee makes you feel
nervous and you know it's bad for you. So, you decide
to drink water instead of coffee. Everything's fine for
the first four days and you manage to follow your plan.
But then on the fifth day you come home late and tired
that tiredness is one of your ‘triggers’ and you head
straight for the coffee. You tell yourself, “Just this one
time. I'm definitely going to stick to my plan after
this.’ But that one cup turns into two and then before
you know it, you're back to eight cups a day.
So, what's happening here? Well, you've given yourselfan
{impossible task. You can't go from eight cups to 2210
overnight. You've probably been drinking coffee fora long
time and you didnt go from zero cups to eight overnight
either! So, tip number one: give yourself mini-goals that
you can achieve on a daily basis. Going from eight cups to
seven, then six and so on brings you the satisfaction of
achieving a new goal almost every day.
‘Another mistake you've made is that you haven't
prepared for the triggers the things that make you
‘want to ‘do’ the bad habit, which can be a feeling (eg.
tiredness) or something external (eg. the smell of.
coffee). When changing a habit, you need to be ready
for these moments, which brings us to tip number two:
‘when a trigger makes your brain scream for coffee
(or whatever), just stop and focus on that feeling, Tell
yourself “Yes, I knew there would be moments like
this. Then pour yourself glass of water.
‘And that leads to the next point: just do i! Your brain,
says coffee and you have a water. Skip the argument
(vith yourself, just do it, just pour yourself that glass
of water. Do you keep putting offa difficult task that is
actually important, and take the easy way instead? Tell
‘yourself, “Thave one task, one goal. Just do it’ Do you
look at your phone too much at night? Well, turn it of,
put it in another room and go to bed, Just do it
Finally, from time to time it's important to remind
yourself of why you're doing this. Remember, all that
coffee makes you feel nervous and you know its bad
for you; your goal isto be a healthier person, Say it
to yourself, out loud. You'll be surprised how much
‘motivation youl feel
