The key is staying aware. If you really want to manage a good habit, make sure you pay attention to it at least once a day, and you‘re far more likely to succeed.
Your life comes down to this formula:YOU → CHOICE + BEHAVIOR + HABIT + COMPOUNDED = GOALS(decision) (action) (repeated action) (time)That‘s why it‘s imperative to figure out which behaviors are blocking the path that leads to your goal, and which behaviors will help you accomplish your goal.
A single poor habit, which doesn‘t look like much in the moment, can ultimately lead you miles off course from the direction of your goals and the life you desire.
What area, person, or circumstance in your life do you struggle with the most? Start journaling all the aspects of that situation that you are grateful for. Keep a record of everything that reinforces and expands your gratitude in that area.
Tracking is a simple exercise. It works because it brings moment-to-moment awareness to the actions you take in the area of your life you want to improve. You‘ll be surprisedat what you will observe about your behavior. You cannot manage or improve something until you measure it. Likewise, you can‘t make the most of who you are—your talents and resources and capabilities—until you are aware of and accountable for your actions.
