3 Tips for Successful Build Your Good Habit

Good character It is one of the factors that will lead us to have a happy and successful life. We can use a psychological principle called Cognitive Behavior Theory (CBT) to enable us to maintain or change our character successfully.

 

Often we live a “autopilot” lifestyle and get the same results. We want to improve ourselves Improve life I want to stop the habits that we do not like. Every new year or birthday will set goals that we want to improve.

 

We know that good character can help us be successful. Self-discipline Regular action It’s a good habit that anyone would want to have, but it seems difficult to create. And even if we are determined and determined in setting goals Over time We always come back to life in the way that we were used to in the same way.

 

Amy Morin, American psychiatrist Has introduced 3 tips for maintaining the character we want And give up the habits that we do not like to achieve the following

 

  1. Plan to reduce excuses.

 

Many times we fail to do what we intended. And there are many excuses, for example, we plan to take notes every night before bed, but we have excuses that We do not want to get up to pick up our notebook and pen, or we intend to exercise every morning. But we didn’t, and there was no excuse for that. This yoga video is too boring, the solution to this excuse is Planning ahead

 

Let us take a notebook and a pen. Put it beside the bed To make it easier to pick it up and write Or choose the video that we want to exercise according to With equipment placed in preparation For exercise in the morning

 

 

  1. Does not respond to stimuli that will cause us to maintain habits that we do not like.

 

If we want to break up bad habits that we don’t like, for example, we don’t like our anger. And adversely affect our relationship with the people we love We can do this by whenever we feel angry. Let us divert our attention to do something else. Does not respond to my own emotions that arise May be done by Count 1 to 10 for a walk or take a deep breath. Whenever our anger disappears I use consciousness to find a solution to the story that happened.

 

In addition, if we want to stop playing social media without a purpose. You can do this by putting your phone away from your body, for example, if you often play while going to the bathroom for a long time. Instead put a book on it And do not put the phone in Or we often play social media before going to bed and thus having to go to bed late. It is avoided by placing it outside the bedroom, etc.

  1. Find reasons that are important for us to build that character.

 

If we drive to a mall in order to go for a walk But a lot of people have no parking at all. We will not try any more. And turn the car back Or go and do something else on the other hand if we are driving to the hospital. Because our child had an accident and needed urgent treatment When we got to the hospital, there was no parking. We will have to try to send our children to the doctor. To get treatment first And try to manage the parking later

 

From the example shown, it can be seen that going for a walk in the mall and taking the child to the doctor for treatment They have very different priorities and we will never give up on what is important to us.

 

The creation of character is the same. If character is important to us We will not give up. And do it better Until success, so writing one reason why this character is important to us And read it when we are tired and discouraged Or want to give up Will help us maintain the character that we want to create

 

According to the Cognitive Behavior Theory (CBT), The need to change habits or create motivation is very important, so the reason why it is so important is that motivation is so important.

However, if we forget to do Or can’t do it sometimes, don’t interpret it as a failure. But learn what reasons we can’t. And improve methods

In addition, rewarding yourself When done It is also creating a small motivation for ourselves as described by CBT principles as well.
