Our brains will make any routine a habit which allows our minds to ramp down more often. Habits typically emerge without our permission. Create new habits by changing the bad habit piece by piece.
Your outcomes are a result of your habits. Whether its weight by eating habits, wealth by financial habits, clutter by cleaning habits, or knowledge by learning habits. The truth is you get what you repeat. So, if you put in the work and change the habits, the outcomes will change.
One of the most compelling areas of the book is based upon goals verses systems. Goal are our given outcomes and results we want to achieve. The systems are essentially the processes that lead to the results. Essentially, if we improve upon our systems or habit creation, we can work toward continual improvement verses a goal being the end result.
This is not the typical massive action that creates massive change, it is quite the opposite in small steady steps breed small steady changes. Small wins lead to transformational changes not just changes for the here and now. It’s our responsibility to cultivate our own habits and to take charge and change our own life. If you want to improve your habits and make better outcomes not just for goal achievement, but for a lifetime of constant improvements and healthier choices in life, pick up a copy of this book and let it help you understand your habits and how to make them better gradually. As children learning to walk, do we not get back up and keep at it again and again until we finally learn to do it without conscious efforts. It’s a habit!
