I love it when you find a different way to say the same thing, and it seems to make more sense to us. I was reading Health News Digest and I enjoyed the way they explained the following...
We are creatures of habit. In fact, our brain has
a center called the Limbic Center, which is the center for our
emotions, reinforcements and habits. Have a bad habit? Well, the brain
doesn't want us to change it, even if it is a negative behavior and
even if it hurts us. How can we start? Start small!
Habits are hard to change. Whatever habit we are trying to make, change
or stop, it is hard work. When we start with a small change, one which
we know we can do, we set ourselves up for success. And most of us know
that one success usually leads to another. When we break down a project
into its simple components and start with one component at a time, we
usually feel less overwhelmed and this can lead to more motivation and
inspiration. I told my client to increase his sleep by starting with
only an extra 1/2 hour. Start small.
Motivation grows! As we achieve each small success, we feel empowered
to continue. Finally, success is not perfection. Experience a slip,
mistake or setback? Let's stop and ask ourselves, what can we learn
from it and change? Want to become motivated? Start small and succeed!
Think Positive. Research shows that when we believe in ourselves, when
we believe we can do something, we are more likely to do it. When we
don't think something is possible, research shows that even when it is,
we are much less likely to achieve success. Make it small to achieve a
positive outcome!
So, is there something we would like to achieve? Is there one small
step we can take to get started which we know we can accomplish? An
example of something small would be something concrete such as, "I will
replace the butter on my bagel with fresh fruit jam". Notice, I'm not
giving up the bagel too at the same time!
So, let's not wait another day to get one small change going at a time.
Here's to thinking about what we can do, rather than what we haven't
done or should!
