Post What Is A habit
What Is A habit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
a. A recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition.
b,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. An established disposition of the mind or character.
We tend to think of habits as things we do and we categorize them as good or bad. Brushing our teeth every morning (good habit) or smoking (bad habit).
In truth a habit is a complicated set of thoughts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], emotions AND behaviors that we repeat often enough that it becomes engrained in our brains at a level where conscious thought or choice is no longer really necessary.
All of our habits began as thoughts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even if it was a thought like "Oh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wouldn't I look cool smoking a cigarette". When you first started, that thought might have supported your commitment to fitting in with your peers or feeling mature. Over time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your commitments may have shifted and the smoking habit no longer supports you.
It can help to think in terms of habits that support or don't support your highest goals for yourself when you are thinking of changing a long-held behavior that has become habit.
Instead of Changing a Habit, Create a New One.
If you were to look at an EEG of your brain while you are brushing your teeth, you would see a line of neurons lighting up in a particular pattern. Every time you brush your teeth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or evening imagine brushing your teeth, that same line of neurons lights up.
The same thing happens with your habitual thoughts. When you think "I'm too tired to get out of bed and exercise today", if that is something that you often think when you imagine getting up to exercise, that thought is habitual and you would be able to see the neuron path of the thought in your brain with an EEG.
So changing habits requires rewiring the brain, retraining the pathway of the neurons to line up with something new.
It can help if you think in terms of starting a new pathway, rather than trying to change an old one. Instituting a new habit can take as little as 30 days of consistent repetitive behavior, whereas breaking an old habit, especially if there are addictive/chemical components involved, can take much longer.
Most people want to get to the end result so quickly that they skip steps or place unrealistic expectations on themselves. Then when the results don't happen, they walk away defeated and the volume of their inner critic's voice gets really loud.
Just think about your unsuccessful New Year's resolutions. For example,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you set a New Year's resolution to "get healthy" which included things such as eating right, exercising regularly, and quitting cigarettes or alcohol you might have gone full speed ahead for a few weeks and then something happened and you skipped a day of exercise. That led to a lot of negative self-talk about how you "blew it" and it "proved" that you'll never get healthy - so you gave up on it all and ordered a pizza and drank a beer.
Trying to change too many things at once is a recipe for failure because it's unrealistic that we can change a habit we've had for years overnight - let alone two or three habits at the same time! Human beings are creatures of habit - and making changes doesn't come easily. This is true not because we're bad or incapable, but because making changes that last occurs at a very deep level - at the root of our thoughts and beliefs. It takes consistent new action over a period of time to reinforce the new way of thinking.
Perhaps your New Year's resolution was simply to "exercise regularly." You bought the cutest workout clothes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], new sneakers, and joined a gym. Even though you'd been a couch potato for years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you pushed yourself that first week by running 3 miles and lifting weights that were way too heavy…and you pulled a muscle - which then forced you to recover for a week or two. By the time you recovered, your enthusiasm had waned and you couldn't seem to get back gym. Sound familiar?
Skipping steps is recipe for failure because changes that last are built upon a solid foundation. Taking small,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], consistent action every day builds inner strength and the capacity to integrate the natural effects of your new behavior, which also gives you the time to integrate and get comfortable with your new way of thinking.
New beliefs = new actions = new results,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
By keeping it simple, choosing one place to start,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and making the action doable - you are setting yourself up to win.
