I was
asking myself the question today why so many of us have dreams of
doing something great to fulfil our life, like following our passions
but why some of us still fail in following through what we intend to do
every day!
Would
this because of:
- "Fear"
that stops us pursuing our dreams? or
- We are not good
with following through with our tasks, goals and dreams? or
- We yet to create
good habits in our everyday routine?
We are
all creatures of habit. In fact, most of what we do every single day we
do unconsciously on auto-pilot and it is very hard for new habits to become
established.
As the
saying goes "out of sight out of mind."
That's the
reason why we encourage our clients to dream big, set purpose goals and complete those
little tasks.
However,
despite our good intentions and excitement, we still fail to do so. This could
be because we are under a "Trap Mode" spell too.
We now
live in a society where time is less and we demand more of it. We really
need to sit back and plan ahead now. How many times have we said to ourselves
and to others "yeah yeah! I'll do it tomorrow". So what do you think
about the thought of tomorrow?
"Tomorrow
is a promise.
Yesterday
is gone

Well,
here is a little tip that I use to easily help myself create new positive habits and routines that I
want to stick to daily.
1) I use
Google Calendar, if you have not tried it just go to http://calendar.google.com
2) I
enter the item that I want to remember into Google Calendar and I make it a
task that repeats every single day.
3) I then
ask Google calendar to automatically me a daily reminder.
4) I even
sync my outlook calendar and IPhone calendar with Google calendar therefore
every task I need to action are in one space. It's simply the best tool you can
have to help you create new positive habits.
I have
used this to develop powerful new habits such as:
- Exercising every
single day
- Reviewing my
goal list and affirmations every day (I even add my goals and affirmations
into the description so that they end up in my inbox and I can review them
instantly)
- Express my
gratitude in my IPhone app "Gratitude"
So, take
full advantage of http://calendar.google.com and start creating new successful habits
today.
