Today’s Monday Mindset: How to Change a Habit

Very few people are happy with the habits that they have, and nearly everyone wants to have better habits.

But how do you develop a great habit?

Here it is. You build a streak.

You build a streak. You choose what you want to do.

Maybe you want to exercise more, train for your sport more, get up earlier, go to sleep later, turn off your phone, not be on social media, eat healthier, drink more water.

You choose what habit you want to build, but all you have to do is get clear on what it is.

Choose the day that you’re going to start – which is today, not tomorrow. Start today and build a streak.

And then here’s how you track it – a paperclip chain.

On that paperclip chain, you start with one the first day that you do it, and then you add and you build so that you can see this paperclip chain grow over time.

I’ve seen athletes and students and adults who have grown to hundreds of paperclips, and that means that habit is being done every single day.

Not only will you grow in confidence, but you won’t want the streak to break because once it breaks, you have to start again.

I have a paperclip challenge going right now with reading every single night before I go to sleep and my chain is growing.

Put that into practice. Develop a better habit. Create some streaks with a paperclip chain. That’s my challenge and that’s your Monday Mindset.
