The truth about not forming a habit in 365 days

Oct 31, 2021

(88% of people fail to fulfill their New Year’s resolutions….)

Do you want to be a better person?

No one wants to get better, but it turns out that the way of life is a kind of drug addiction. The reason for the success or failure of cultivating a good habit is probably because our country did not take physics well....

Newton's first law, do you remember?

Newton's first law: Any object will remain in uniform motion in a straight line or at rest until an external force forces it to change its state of motion

 At this point you should be very puzzled! What does this have to do with habit formation?

Develop a good habit in 30 days This is proposed from the title of the book <<1% rule>> . One of the keys to the 1% rule in the book is to apply Newton's first law .

A person's original life pattern is like a static state. If there is no motivation (external force) to push it to change, the original life pattern is difficult to change. That is why it is not difficult to stick to a habit for the first seven days, and stick to it every day for a month. It's hard, which brings up another word "deliberate practice"

1000 hours of deliberate practice will not become an expert!

Deliberate practice is misused by many people, thinking that repeating one thing, simply doing it, will become an expert until it reaches the extreme. However, the real essence of deliberate practice lies in "reverse", through continuous repetition accompanied by constructive feedback, and then Improve your performance and become an expert!

 Do you have to be like a successful person to develop a habit?

I have tried many ways to develop a good habit, but I still failed . For example, New Year's resolution to develop a good habit. In fact, I'm secretly telling you that New Year's resolutions rarely work, and 88% of people have not completed their plans/goals/ Habits, not because they don't work, but because the problem is within you

It was also until I read the book <<The 1% Rule>> that I realized that beliefs, incorrect concepts in thinking, and incomprehensible analysis of human nature are the underlying nature of planning and habit failure . I'm not looking for excuses, one thing can't be done, the first reaction of people is not my fault, it's because,,,,,(a bunch of reasons), let the listeners feel that this person is looking for reasons to slow down the frustration of failure Face, first of all, we need to find out the root cause of failure in order to improve

What is the problem that prevents good habits from being cultivated? There are three major factors:

1. Perfectionism: Feeling guilty for not doing it once, wanting to escape

2. Self-worth: Comparing yourself with others, forgetting that progress is comparing your present self with your past self

3. Negative beliefs: the outer self wants to be better, the inner self does not believe that you can do it

30-Day Life-Changing Program

How to develop a good habit, the suggestion in the book is to concentrate on doing a good habit for 30 days, and 12 good habits a year . Pay attention that the human heart cannot be used twice. The 1% rule is to improve a little bit every day, every day for a month. Focus on practicing a good habit and follow these five rules

1. Newton's first law: action (state of motion) changes inherent inertia (state of rest)

2. Compounding: Make a little bit of progress every day

3. The 20/80 Rule: Find the most effective and time-saving mode for you to develop a good habit

4. Ripple effect: the same habit-former performs together, a same atmosphere environment

5. 10,000 hours of deliberate practice: turn habitual tasks into deliberate practice, evaluate yourself while doing it, give constructive feedback, and continuously optimize the target plan

<<The 1% Rule>> This book and another book <<The One thing>> are similar and different concepts, directly attacking the weakness of human nature - easy to be distracted. Actions) are internalized into everyday things (reflexive actions), and finally, I think it is better to do one if there are multiple methods, and it will be more effective, right!

I think it is not difficult to develop a good habit, but the difficulty is lack of action. Carlos was quoted in the book: if you do more, maybe your motivation will also increase, if you improve your actions , your motivation will also increase.

 [The best way to increase motivation is to increase action]

Get yourself into the circulatory system:

Do -> Action -> Positive Feedback -> Strengthen Faith -> Motivation -> Do More

I call this system an action formula.

Comparing yourself with yourself, the 1% rule-like progress is enough to make next year's self in 12 months be amazed by this year's self!

remember

 If you really start to do something, you have succeeded 90% of the time. For the remaining 10%, as long as you keep walking step by step, you will soon reach where you want to go!
