Let's talk about habits

Hey guys

Hope you're well.

I've spent sometime over the last few days thinking about what to write and my thoughts keep coming back to habits, perhaps because it's an area where I've had a lot of struggles, so I think I'll dedicate the next two blog post to it.

I have a love and other type of relationship with habits and I want to share some of my personal insights and what I'm learning about myself along the way.

To kick off, here's a definition I came across which sums perfectly up what a habit is.

A habit is formed when you consistently meet an important need with a chosen behavior. Let’s break this down into an example of a good habit and a bad habit.

Successful people do consistently what other people do occasionally

Book Recommendation: Today Matters by John C. Maxwell

Hello Hope you're well. I wanted to quickly share with you a book I've been reading over the past couple of months. It is called Today Matters by John C. Maxwell. In Today Matters , Maxwell advises that "the secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. Make the decision once, then manage it daily. Successful people make the right decisions early and manage those decisions daily." He identifies 12 areas of life in which he believes the right decisions should be made. Once made, these decisions should be practised on a daily basis. I particularly enjoyed chapter 7 - Today's Thinking Gives Me An Advantage. John outlines various types of thinking including intentional thinking, big-picture thinking, creative thinking, etc. He explains the benefit of finding a time and space to practise the habit of good thinking daily. For me, my focus right now is intentional and creative thinking. You can purchase your copy of Today Matters...
