Developing good habits is something that
can be done at any age and it is never too late to take an interest in this
very informative and beneficial subject. Great blog here: http://www.developgoodhabits.com/
A routine that consists of good habits create the
necessary mindset for a better managed day’s activities and also contributes to
a lot of the positive elements around that generally contributes to positive
vibes.
The good habits that follow can be
tools that encourage individual to looks upon anything and everything will a
better perspective so that the fullness of live can be enjoyed.
Good habits may include:
· Keeping a good schedule – this may
apply to anyone and everyone. These schedules may also apply to various time frames
and scenarios.
·
Eating a healthy diet – this too is applicable
to everyone. It is a proven fact that the human body and mind functions better when
the general health of an individual is at its optimum. This of course depends
largely on the types and frequency of foods consumed therefore forming good
eating habits is well worth the effort both in the present and for the future. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/09/healthy-food-blogs_n_5460940.html
· Exercising – the importance of
incorporating some form of exercise into one’s lifestyle cannot be emphasized
enough, as it not only a good habit but also helps to inculcate discipline.
· Practice gratitude – this is another
wonderfully good habit to learn because when an individual learns gratefulness,
they are more willing to be accepting of shortcomings and are generally happier
people. Happy people are a delight to be around.
Be an Example
It is hard to be taken seriously both
in one’s personal life as well as professional life if one does not portray a
lifestyle worth respecting, therefore taking the trouble to always set good
examples that one would expect other to follow is a move in the right
direction.
Some areas that one can focus on when
considering the example setting scenario should be as follows:
· Consciously practicing being a
likeable and positive person around others will encourage others to be more
open and nice too. Most people respond well to a positive atmosphere and mindset.
This is because the general mood and atmosphere tends to be lighter.
· Behaving in a mature yet friendly
manner is also encouraged.
This too is an example most people respect and admire.
Where admiration is, therein lies some level of wanting to follow the example
set.
· Always trying to be or do the best
one is capable of is also another good example to set and one that will garner
certain emulation from those around.
· Being a good friend especially in
times of need is an example worth setting especially if one expects the same
treatment returned. This example not only portrays good human values but also
garners respect and admiration and maybe even encouragement for others to
follow.
· Keeping a relaxed and non-threatening
demeanour is recommended when one is trying to set a good example.
Frightening people away by being too rigid and controlling
is something that should be avoided.
· Acknowledging one’s shortcomings and
flaw often helps those around with similar problems relate better and therefore
eventually be more comfortable. Setting this example also allows people to be
comfortable in reaching out and generally feeling relaxed.
· A welcoming individual is often an
individual who is never short of friends, because of the example of being
welcoming and non-judgmental.
Use Stories about
Good Habits
Although good habits can be nurtured
through examples, being able to actually see or hear documented proof of these
goods habit bearing fruit is more impactful and likely to produce positive
affirmation in an individual intending to seriously pursue this style of
incorporating good habits into his or her lifestyle.
Stories portraying good habits are often not only
interesting but rather uplifting too. This style of encouraging the formation
or adaptation of good habits is especially beneficial in reaching out to children.
There are several different categories where good habits
can be encouraged through stories, some of which are bravery, charity, commitment,
creativity, fair play, humility, obedience, respectfulness, patience, sharing,
sincerity, team work, that the list goes on.
Though it may seem that this is more applicable to the
world of children, addressing work issues by “painting” scenarios of real life successes
through stories has been known to be very effective.
This is probably due to the fact that stories of actual
successes are very motivating and gives the listener a sense of being able to
relate to the struggles and challenges with the successful end goal in mind.
When those in the work environment are faced with similar
scenarios the stories may help to inspire of give way to creative ideas that
the individual can adopt in order to achieve the goal intended even if there
was a temporary setback.
For those intending to venture into new endeavours be it
business or studies, hearing stories of past struggles and successes may help
them to set standards and be more disciplined towards reaching those outlines
set. These stories often include the habits adopted by characters which
eventually help them overcome any and all setbacks in order to achieve success.
The stories may also help to show that all is not as easy
as first perceived but with the practice of some good habits anything is achievable.

Demonstrate
Noted as being a very reliable way of
predicting behavioural patterns, the assumptions are based on habits of the
potential participating individuals. This can then contribute to the general makeup
of the team which can be designed around the matching of similar behavioural
pattern assessments.
When the assessments are made the team members individual
tacks can be assignment thus completing the initial stages of any endeavour. Similar
behaviour patterns when categorized with the help of habits followed makes the
eventual working environment more conducive and result driven. This is notably
due to the fact that all involved are generally of the same “wave length”.
Some connections can be made linking habits to behaviours
in group patterns which become more evident when practiced together. Some examples
are as follows:
· Habits are learned behaviours, often
mimicking group ideas and actions.
· Habits are also fairly predictable reactions
to any given scenario if done together, as groups reactions can not only be
convincing, it can also be difficult to oppose.
· Actions that are done as a group in a
consistent fashion are often habits that are difficult to break because of the
“safety” felt within the group’s strength.
· In some cases similar strong behavioural
patterns or habits can be encouraged to be brought out within the context of a
group, thus providing the focal point or guidance needed to steer the said
group to success.
Successful endeavours usually encourage group behavioural
patterns that are similar in nature to encourage better working environments.
It is definitely easier to carry out any endeavour when
the majority of the participants are willing to conform to similar behaviour expectations.
Wrapping Up
Instead of cramming rules down their throats, use positive
praise when you catch people or yourself doing something you like.
Don't use one person's undesirable behaviour as an example
of how not to act. Instead, redirect the attention to someone who is completing
good habits and tasks.
