How GenZ Can Build Great Habits

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” When we talk about habits, one thing is quite clear — all habits are good and vice versa. In contrast, bad habits have the potential to significantly impact our lives negatively. On the other hand, good habits have the potential to lead us towards a successful life, in the shorter and longer run.

Suppose a person loves to drink alcohol after work each day. When he does that continuously, it will become a bad habit that will be hard to break. In addition, there is a high chance that consumption increases over time as well.

On the other hand, if a person has the daily habit of doing yoga after work, then it is certainly a good habit because it not only makes the person fit but also keeps him away from stress. A positive vibe is extremely necessary to be productive at work.

Here are five good habit tips that can help you build your life, and their impact will certainly make your life better and more productive:

1 — Start with Small Adjustments

Most people have the mindset to achieve everything in a single day which ends up getting them nowhere in the end. Instead of going for fixing everything in a small amount of time, it is better to make small, yet effective adjustments so that your mind can handle these gradual positive changes properly.

For example, if you want to lose weight then the best way to do it is not by switching straight away to a healthy diet overnight because this can cause various health issues, when not done right.

The reason behind this is the fact that it takes a decent amount of willpower, determination, interest, knowledge, and practice to develop a new habit, and if you try and do it all overnight, you are most likely to get tired of it. So, it’s better to start small.

2 — Be Positive

Whenever you decide to develop any good habits in yourself, one of the key elements is to stay optimistic and have unperturbed self-belief. Positive thinking not only helps you to overcome negative feelings but also enables you to deal with stress-related issues effectively.

If your thoughts are mostly negative about changing your habits, then it will be very difficult to adopt the new change in your life. Alternatively, if your thoughts are positive towards it, it becomes easy for your mind to accept it.

So, be positive and create a positive vibe and let go of the negative thoughts. You can do anything if you put your mind to it

3. Commit to your purpose:

Well, it may sound easy to most, but it is not as easy as it sounds. Commitment is not only a promise that you make to yourself to achieve something, but it’s also the dedication to give your time and energy to a specific job or skill, enthusiastically.

If you stay committed to practising good habits and to your purpose, then the chances of success greatly increase. It’s not like you don’t face any obstacles or challenges. Keep your focus on your goal or purpose in life, and that will eventually help you develop a good habit that lasts all your life.

4. Celebrate Small Wins

Celebrating small wins gives you the motivation to work towards achieving something bigger. It not only reduces your chances of reverting to your old habits, but it also encourages you to make good habits a part of your life.

When you reward yourself for making progress, you stimulate the reward circuit of your brain that gives you a sense of achievement and motivates you to do even better.

So, it’s a good practice to reward yourself after every successful step towards victory because it boosts your strength and power to make even the impossible happen.

5. Clarity in Thought:

Before deciding to include a good habit in your life, you must be clear as to why you want to adopt this habit, what importance it has in your life, and how it helps you achieve your goals.

If you don’t have clarity in mind, then you can easily become confused and stressed. That’s why you should develop clarity first to get your direction right and have a purpose.

When your intentions are clear regarding a habit in your mind, then you can sacrifice anything to develop that good habit because you are well aware of the outcomes that it will bring to your life if done successfully.

You might have heard from someone that it takes around 21 days to create a habit, but in reality, that’s not the case. To build a good habit, you need a plan, motivation, and routine.

When you repeat a habit for a long time, it automatically becomes a habit. You don’t need to put a lot of extra effort into developing good habits in your life. It’s just the starting phase that needs a lot of attention.

So, Generation Z should invest some time working on these tips and start adding good habits to their lives to make the most of their lives and succeed in their goals.
