So what is a structure? A structure is something that reminds us what we want to achieve - to do what we do (an action), conduct (goals) or (our purpose in life, our vision of the future of us).
We use the structures in three ways:
How do you remember: Examples include planning, will move to a post-it, make a shopping list with you at the supermarket, or do something out the door, to take with you.
As Inspiration: examples are the references and images inspired in the areas that has brought you a lot. The images could benefit from something you want to attract into your life or it can be called a positive memory. Pictures of your family can remember from that to what is really important. Funny pictures or quotes, you can laugh and start the day with a lighter heart. Are you saving money for a holiday you could have written a scene on the beach.
For Tracking: examples are the exercise logs, with ato pursue> pedometer (and increase) the amount of "levels" in a day. One of my favorite and most useful facilities is the journal of food - not just record what I eat, but also my emotional and mental health, my health and exercise, and my sleep habits.
With facilities for the memories, inspiration and monitoring can help to develop healthier habits in your life. Experts agree that it takes 21 days to form a new habit.
Until something of a habit, it isnecessary for a structure or a routine around it.
For example, you want the new habit of drinking 8 glasses of water a day to provide - for a variety of health benefits and recommended for the prevention of disabilities. What are some structures you can use?
Memories:
1. carry water - a travel mug, a glass bottle or near you when you sit for a long time (even cars).
2. post a note where you sit more oftenduring the day, remember to drink water.
Inspiration:
1. Think about what you are trying to reach most of your water intake - healthy skin, general health, weight loss - and try to get a framework that embodies these services. post it or take it with you.
2. Make a list of all the benefits and mail or bring it with you.
Tracking:
1. pre-measured bottles - purchase several bottles of water (which you can then fill with tap water or filtered water - areMake sure you wash it with soap and water in between). Use this option to control how much water you drink during the day. Drinking from the bottle poured into a glass or right out of the bottle. to terminate at the end of the day Goal 2 liters of water.
2. Water log sheet - list any day of the week and check marks to use when you finish a glass of water. It is possible that, as you watch and note progress when increasing your water consumption. You can also find the dates you drink lessand you can do a little detective work - maybe it's always the day when you have evening classes, or maybe the day shopping at lunch - and to propose strategies for each situation.
Part of what I do as a Self-care Coach is to brainstorm with my clients about the various structures that can work for them. The best thing is that the structures in order to try to get when you do not work there is always something else. So if you "failed" to create a new habit, youlearning a lot in the direction of the structure of others that work best for you point.
Rather than blame themselves or as an excuse to move further away from your goals, remind yourself why you make changes in the first place and go back to the drawing board!
Tips for creating effective structures
1. Brainstorm with someone else. The things that we ourselves sometimes not radical enough to jolt us into a new routine. The greater the changeYou try the more obvious the structure should be.
2. Then use more than one of your senses. Find a structure that can hold in your book.com" title="hand">hand or worn as clothing or accessories. Find something that captures your attention. Use a song - remember Ally McBeal and her personal theme song?
3. Play with different structures, until you find the right one. Maybe something was working for a couple of days and then stopped. Think about what worked and use it to create your nextEffort.
4. You can be a structure. Their responsibility to coach spouse, friend, colleague can, children or other family members very motivating!
5. What led you in the past? Do not reinvent the wheel to use past experience to help you now.
