So, I have made the decision to stop some very bad habits, and start some new (a little bit healthier ones).

The problem is - good intentions and all are nice, but I already feel the urge to say "screw you" and indulge in the bad habits I want to ditch.

So, what can I do, what do YOU do, to keep that momentum from the moment I realized I have to change some stuff, and the early stages of plan making all the way to success?

i have trouble keeping momentum too T_T

what i learned is that you have to take baby steps on any subject you're trying to improve, and snowball it. I used to always try to think i can improve something overnight and keep the momentum.

a good example is communication. I used to be a big geek and bad at communication and tried big steps to improve my communication skills. I learned that if you understand the essence of communication and took baby steps to improve it, youll understand your bad habits and improve.

sorry if im not clear, i didnt get any sleep T_T.

You only need one habbit: Be a little bit better every day compared to the last one. Doesn't have to be much, something like eating one more vegetable, running somewhere instead of walking etc.

Greetings!

The Question that arises for me is "What are you trying to achieve"?

You see, every change you make should be coupled with a goal. Those can be easy ones like "I want to eat and live healthier to be slimmer and look better" - if thats the case then just look at you as often as possible.

When I lost weight (And I lost a lot because I was really, really heavy as a child) I just stared at me whenever possible (The Mirror in the elevator, etc) to keep me motivated and to stay on track of my goal, that I pursued.

So in short my advice is to find something that your adjusted habits will make easier/more funny for you and stick to those motivations ^.^

I suggest that you look at your habits as the enemy, that you are engaged in a vast battle with them that all depends on. This battle will make or break you, your family will fall and perish should you lose. You are the only one to fight this battle, chosen, as if you pulled Excalibur from the stone. I suggest you arrive violently on this field of battle, prepare to win, no matter what.

..

Now go watch this video and win

I am constantly planning and re-planning to make improvements in my life. Little by little they happen, and that's all that you can expect. To make some instant grand change is impossible because the familiar and the lazy are too attractive to us.

If I were you I'd simply look to some inspiring media and keep that in mind. For me the most inspirational stories are:

- The entire series of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
- The "Speak like a Child" monologue from Cowboy Bebop.
- "The World is Yours" monologue from Scarface.
- The Count of Monte Christo
- Wuthering Heights, specifically everything Heathcliff does.
- All of Napoleonic history, followed by all of Germanic history.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOO ME!
Life is not about making due with what you have; it's about finding out just how much you can achieve. Never settle for anything less than the best. - - - Read my blog!

You are your biggest tool, you have all your own keys to success, your mind can unlock any door, open any window, do anything, your body is a machine, set your goal, set the throttle and peddal down!
