The Beginners Guide To Creating New Habits

Creating new habits is something we all find difficult. Although our brains are quite good at creating new habits, they are even better at letting go of old ones. It takes an average of twenty-one days for a person to build a habit but that period is not very easy. Here are my top four tips on how to create new habits.

Adopt one new habit at a time

The first step to building new habits is to start small. Making small changes and building them up over time. If you have a bunch of habits you want to implement in your life, don’t go and try to stick to them all at the same time. Start with one and once that first habit is successfully built, move on to the next one.

Associate a habit you want to start doing with one you really enjoy

Let’s say you want to get into the habit of writing 10 pages a day for your dissertation but you just can’t seem to do it. My best advice is to associate that habit with one you already have and really enjoy. For example, write those ten pages while listening to a podcast.

If you want to exercise, for example, do it while watching Netflix or, better yet, reward yourself with that Netflix binge after you exercise so you’ll have something to look forward to.

Have strong why behind your habit

It’s more than proven that if you want to get into a certain habit just because you are much more likely to fail than if you were to have a strong reason why you want to build that habit.

Having a strong why behind your habit will motivate you and it’s much more likely for you to stick to it.

Adjust your environment to help you stick to better habits

Want to do yoga every morning? Have your yoga mat somewhere visible and easy to reach. Wanna write more? Have a pen and a notebook on your bedside table. These are just small changes you can implement that will keep you accountable and remind you to do that certain thing.

The saying ”out of sight, out of mind” works perfectly in this situation. If you’re not seeing that thing that will help you stick to that certain habit, I can guarantee you you’ll forget about it eventually. Whereas if you see that thing every day, you’ll be reminded to do that thing.

4 Amazing TV Shows I’ve Been Loving Lately

4 Amazing TV Shows I’ve Been Loving Lately

 
I’m not really a TV kind of person. It is much more likely for you to catch me either reading a book or watching some random video on Youtube or VLive.
 
I don’t really have the patience to sit in front of a television for more than 45 minutes, so yes, I’m always the odd one out when it comes to all those shows people talk about like Riverdale and Stranger Things. 

With that being said, I do have a few shows I don’t mind spending an hour or two in front of the tv for. Here are my top favorites.

TV Shows I’ve Been Loving Lately

Law and Order

An oldie but a goodie.

Law and order is that kind of show that, no matter how many seasons it has, I’ll watch them all religiously.

You’ll find a clear pattern when it comes to my favorite shows and that is because I love everything that involves crimes and forensic science.

I sometimes think I should be in university to study criminology instead of foreign languages.

The Good Doctor

Did I mention I also love everything related to surgeries and medical stuff? For a while when I was younger my dream job was to become a plastic surgeon.

That quickly faded though, when I realized that there was a lot of math involved so I currently live my doctor fantasy through this show.

I absolutely love Freddie Highmore and I think he does a stupendous job on this show.

Return of the Superman

This is the only non-American show on my list but it’s probably my favorite at the moment.

Return of the superman is a Korean reality show that follows a bunch of celebrity dads taking care of their toddlers. I swear it is the funniest and cutest TV Show ever!

Unsolved

Another crime (ish) show. I’m pretty sure everyone has at least heard about this show but if you haven’t, ‘Unsolved’ is basically the story of Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur’s death, told in a fiction-like manner.

I’ve always been interested in celebrity murders so this show was something I loved watching.

What have you been watching lately?
