Article 3 - Habits


Habits
Introduction

The most of all decisions that we took daily could seems that they’re a reflexive way of take decisions, but it’s not, they’re habits,  they seems to be not important but with time the meals we choose, the words that we say, if we spend or we save, the frequency with which we do physical exercises and the way in that we order our thoughts and work routines, they have a big impact in our health, productivity, economic safety and happiness.

The definition for habits are the small decisions you make and actions you perform each and every day. Habits account for about almost half of our behaviors on any given day.
Your whole life is composed by your habits. How in shape or out of shape you are? A result of your habits. How happy or unhappy you are? How successful or unsuccessful you are? Everything is a result of your habits!
What you repeatedly do (i.e. what you spend time thinking about and doing each day) ultimately forms the person you are, the things you believe, and the personality that you portray. Everything I write about – from procrastination and productivity to strength and nutrition – starts with better habits. When you learn to transform your habits, you can transform your life.
To build a new habit you must follow these points:

1. Start with an incredibly small habit.
Try a new habit that is easy enough that you don't need motivation to do it. Rather than starting with 50 pushups per day, start with 5 pushups per day. Rather than trying to meditate for 10 minutes per day, start by meditating for one minute per day. Make it easy enough that you can get it done without motivation.

2. Increase your habit in very small ways.
Rather than trying to do something amazing from the beginning, start small and gradually improve. Along the way, your willpower and motivation will increase, which will make it easier to stick to your habit for good.

3. As you build up, break habits into chunks.
Building up to 20 minutes of meditation? Split it into two segments of 10 minutes at first.
Trying to do 50 pushups per day? Five sets of 10 might be much easier as you make your way there.

4. When you slip, get back on track quickly.
Top performers make mistakes, commit errors, and get off track just like everyone else. The difference is that they get back on track as quickly as possible.
You just need to be consistent, not perfect. Focus on building the identity of someone who never misses a habit twice.

5. Be patient. Stick to a pace you can sustain.
Learning to be patient is perhaps the most critical skill of all. You can make incredible progress if you are consistent and patient.

If you are adding weight in the gym, you should probably go slower than you think.
New habits should feel easy, especially in the beginning. If you stay consistent and continue increasing your habit it will get hard enough, fast enough. It always does.

Conclusion

The habits are the raw matter of the goals you want to reach and is the principal road to archive anything you want, to growth an habit takes dedication but as we saw there are recommendations of the easiest way to get a habit, the first one was start with smalls habits before you get a bigger one, start small and gradually improves it, break habits into chucks, if you break your habit schedule get back the quickly as possible and the last one is to be patient don’t go faster.

Article 4 - Goal Setting

Goal Setting Introduction Everybody should know the importance of goals setting because selecting a target is how your life will change on a personal way or professional way, and they come with questions like “what success looks like to you?”, “what do you want to archive?”, “what I want to be?”, it requires a string will to stop saying “someday I will do it”, and there is more useful ways to think about setting goals. Body Usually goal setting starts up asking questions like, “how does success looks like?”, “what do you want to achieve?”. If we are serious about achieving our goals, however, we should start with a much different question. Rather than considering what kind of success we want, we should ask, “What kind of pain do I want?” The first step is to choose the path these are some examples: If you’re a writer, your goal is to write a book, the system to archive that target is the writing schedule that you follow each week. On a runner, is to run a marathon...
