A very very Happy New Year 2017 to you. It is time again when we welcome New Year and start anew. We forget the past and take the New Year as a time when we can start things over. Yes, it is resolution time. Resolutions which we have made numerous times. In fact, there are some resolutions which we tend to keep alive for last 4-5 years of the Resolution day, but ultimately scrap it after it has not been achieved.
Yes. We tend to start each time and yet fail to cover the distance. It will be hardly a couple of days, week or fortnight when we would just forget the resolutions and start our current routine. The importance of the Resolution Day is such that Gym people know about it and give a discount for one year membership. They probably know that hardly 2-5 % would continue till half year.
But this time we will make our resolutions stick around. Habit is something which we do subconsciously. And habits can be created in some 21 days. If you continue doing something for 21 DAYS, then you would continue forever (mostly). And if you want to create habit, you will need some trigger, task and reward. For example, if you want to start walking or jogging in the morning, then you need a trigger - Alarm. The task is to start walking or jogging for a particular time or distance. When you complete the task daily, reward yourself. You can consider a reward of good tea at a nearby stall or some juice. Or you can even consider seeing pretty faces on your way as your reward ;). Once you get the reward, the task will become your habit. And once it has become a habit, you will not require reward or trigger.
Next, you would like to review the resolution daily or at least on Sunday or your holiday. If you review it, you will start it again. And this way, you may restart the stopped task. You do not need to hit a century in 5 overs. You can gradually build your innings as your life is like a Test Match.
