THE SUCCESS MANTRA BEHIND

ACCOMPLISHING ANY TASK IS TO
UNDERSTAND HOW THINGS WORK. THE SAME
RULE APPLIES HERE, IF YOU CAN LEARN THE
ANSWERS TO TWO FUNDAMENTAL
QUESTIONS ABOUT HABITS, THEN YOU CAN
INCORPORATE ANY NUMBER OF GREAT
HABITS IN YOUR LIFE.
1. HOW ARE NEW HABITS FORMED?
2. HOW CAN WE IMPROVE OUR CURRENT
HABITS?

Take the easy route first
A significant issue that many people face is the lack

of willpower, to continue doing something new each day.
Because, you would feel great initially but, after a few
days, the motivation would die down, and you would
resort to the old habits.
There is a reason why the willpower reduces significantly
after a few days. According to a research, our willpower
behaves like a muscle in the body. And like any other
muscle, it also experiences fatigue. Hence, you will need
more willpower to do a difficult task, and it will be
challenging to continue doing it for a longer duration.
As per the graph, an easy task takes less willpower,
and you can accomplish it for many days. Because the
motivation (willpower) has a pattern, it has its highs and
lows. The rise and fall pattern is defined as a “Motivation
wave” by Stanford professor BJ Fogg.
To tackle the problem of willpower, pick a simple habit
that you can do without any motivation. Choose to jog
for a minute each day, instead of jogging for 5 minutes.
Rather than eating healthy the entire day, focus on
eating one healthy thing a day. If you are thinking “that’s
doable” well, that is the key; you need to make the tasks
easy and doable.

Habits form eventually and not
exponentially
Each good action adds up to a better result. So, does
doing bad contribute to failure.
It is best to start small and to increase or add new
things gradually. Do not increase your jogging time
from 1 minute a day to 10-15 minutes. Instead, try to
add on 2 to 5 minutes each week, so that you can
follow the regimen easily. If you make exponential
changes to your routine, it will be harder (due to less
willpower) for you to continue doing it.
By following this method, you will notice that your
motivation will stay high and you will be able to quickly
accomplish the tasks. Because, the feeling of
accomplishment will push you to continue doing it. It
will also help you in enhancing your willpower, and you
would be able to do more of it. Which is our end goal.

Split things into doable chunks as
you progress
It is best to split your habits into doable chunks as
they build up. If you build up your jogging to 20
minutes, then break it into 10 minutes of jog in the
morning and 10 in the evening. When you divide the
task into small chunks, you would be able to do it with
ease. It helps in keeping the momentum and gives you
the boost of feeling accomplished.
What seems more comfortable, doing 50 squats at a
time or doing five sets of 10? You are getting the same
results but more efficiently.

Don’t give up when you fail,
rather get back to the plan
Everyone makes mistakes, but the only difference
between the people who make it and those who don’t is
that they get back on track. So, anticipate that you
would make mistakes, miss a workout, eat junk food,
fail to read a book, binge watch an entire show because
errors are inevitable. The main thing to remember is
that you must not dwell on the mistake for too long. If
you eat unhealthily in the afternoon, make a promise to
eat right after that. If you miss out on a workout, then
try to make up for it the next day.
Life is full of uncertainties, so be flexible in your
ways and make room for errors. Don’t let one lousy
action keep you from building a good habit. If you make
a mistake, accept it, and get back to doing the right
thing.

Patience is the key
Chances are, if you are impatient, then you would

give up easily. Because when you adopt a new habit, it
takes time to see progress. It takes a lot of patience
not to see results and still be consistent at whatever
you are doing. The most important thing is to learn
that, the only way to win the race is to be slow and
steady.
If you begin weight lifting, you start with smaller
weights and gradually increase the weights. You might
not see results in the beginning, but you will feel a
sense of accomplishment each day. Eventually, when
you keep doing it and build on the habit, you will see
significant results. That is why it is essential to do
things you can sustain.
The beauty of building a new habit is to start small
and to do it regularly. Aim to begin with a simple task
and be consistent with it. Forming new habits can help
you to change your behavior and lifestyle. Be it eating
healthy, losing weight, reading more books, or being
punctual. All you need to do is to start small, start easy,
grow it consistently. That is how you can successfully
build habits and transform your life.
