Here’s a habit that sets high performers apart: they’re all avid readers. However, it doesn’t mean that you’ll live a fulfilled life. They won’t cause permanent damage or ruin your life if they don’t happen, friends and family members won’t stop talking to you, you won’t get sick or die faster. But there are habits that don’t have a direct, fast and visible effect. Those are extremely important, obviously. I’m not just talking about habits where you’re painfully self-aware of the consequences and you can see results quickly, such as quitting smoking or practicing sports. And the next time we try to make (or break) another habit, it will be even harder to do it. We’re feeling guilty and start labeling ourselves in a negative way. What’s even worst is that every time we fall off the wagon, we lose confidence in ourselves. Or we forgot to take into consideration some things that aren’t under our control – as life always loves to mess up with our plans.
Perhaps we didn’t clearly define those new goals, steps we need to make, or how we’re gonna measure our progress. Perhaps we made an exception, telling ourselves that it’s “just this one time”, but never managed to get back on track afterwards. Perhaps our targets weren’t realistic from the beginning. We don’t need any studies to tell us what we already know: most of those things on our New Year’s Resolution list get lost at some point along the way. What happened with all the goals and promises you made at the beginning of the year? Are you still keeping up with them? Probably not.
