The CK Daily – How do you set new habits?
Happy Monday! It’s been a while since I last wrote. I hope you had a great Christmas and New Years!
I took quite a bit of time off to rest and to spend time with family, but now I’m ready to hit the ground running for 2024. This year instead of New Year’s resolutions, I’ve decided to try and set habits. I always fail at maintaining a resolution or lose motivation around the 2nd or 3rd week of January. I think I read a statistic somewhere saying that most people will fail at their resolutions about mid to late January. I’m definitely one of those statistics, but this year I have a new strategy. I want to set habits, instead of lofty, unattainable goals. So instead of setting a goal like plan on losing 20 lbs by March, I will set the habit of exercising every day. Other habits I want to start and keep up with are journaling every day and reading a chapter of a book (any book!). I want to see what happens after a year and what kind of results that will bring, I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
I’ll be measuring my progress using a simple system with checkboxes, either I executed the habit or I didn’t, and hopefully by the end of the year, I’ll have more checks than empty boxes. What are your goals for this year? Have you tried setting new habits?
I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!
