- Give your new habit it at least one month of practice to form
- Decide ahead of time when to fit it into your schedule and make an appointment with yourself
- Make it routine. No matter how you are feeling or what is going on in your life, practice your habit during the scheduled time even if that means you only do it for 5 or 10 minutes instead of the whole block of time.
- Assess how it's going weekly and adjust it to better fit your life as needed
- Pick something you enjoy doing - don't add a chore to your life
- Get support from family, friends and co-workers
- Find a buddy to do it with
- Make a list of all the positives that this new habit brings into your life and refer to it when discouraged or frustrated
- Anticipate ways you might resist your new habit and brainstorm ways to overcome them.
- Honor your physical, mental and emotional state. Don't force it if you are really struggling. Evaluate what is making it hard for you.
