Stay committed to your habit over time from "summary" of Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg
Creating habits is not a one-time event. It's an ongoing process that requires dedication and consistency. Once you've identified a behavior you want to turn into a habit, it's essential to stick with it over time. This means committing to it day after day, even when it feels challenging or inconvenient. Consistency is key when it comes to habit formation. By repeatedly engaging in the behavior you want to become a habit, you strengthen the neural pathways associated with that behavior. Over time, these pathways become more ingrained, making it easier and more automatic for you to perform the habit without having to think about it.
It's normal to encounter obstacles and setbacks along the way. Life is unpredictable, and there will be times when sticking to your habit feels difficult. During these times, it's crucial to stay committed and not give up. Remember that forming a new habit is a gradual process that takes time and patience.
To help yourself stay committed to your habit over time, it can be helpful to set up reminders and cues that prompt you to engage in the behavior. This could be as simple as placing a sticky note on your bathroom mirror or setting a daily alarm on your phone. These reminders serve as a way to keep your habit top of mind and make it easier for you to follow through.
Celebrating small wins along the way can also help you stay motivated and committed to your habit. Acknowledge and reward yourself for each time you successfully engage in the behavior, no matter how small. This positive reinforcement can help reinforce the habit loop and make it more likely that you'll continue to stick with it in the long run.
Remember that forming a new habit is a journey, not a destination. It's about making small, sustainable changes that add up over time. By staying committed to your habit and being patient with yourself, you can gradually build the behaviors you want into lasting habits that become a natural part of your daily routine.
