Your road ahead only seems like you are climbing an insurmountable sand dune at first! But regular, small steps will get you there.
You already know why I suggest that adopting a new habit is an integral component of achieving your 90 Day Challenge. But to spell it out……
“A Habit is a routine of behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously.” Wikipedia
The obvious key words here – regularly and occur subconsciously.
If only we were already at the subconscious stage but NO not yet. But by repeating an action over and over again, by taking consistent, small steps daily, we can reach our goal. Our routine can become rote –a habit.
Keeping a record of your 90 Day Challenge experience is so important. Sitting down every day and writing in your journal, can keep you motivated to keep working towards goal. It’s actually encouraging to read back over your writings to see your progress.
Then, imagine sharing your journey with others. This is my goal on the “ourcommonjourney” blog page.
Here are my 8 steps for adopting a new habit. The 8 steps will be part of our conversation over the next few months.
