We have been proving ourselves time and again that we cannot sustain behavior, though by doing so we are actually sustaining the behavior of not sustaining behavior!, like i used to tell my dad I am very consistent at being inconsistent.
So here goes, if we can actually do that, its time to start now. small sustainable changes done continuously can make you consistent in them. And that is exactly the reason why our new year resolutions don't work. We think about achieving a whole lot, without actually looking or thinking or planning how we would like to achieve them.
Ever wanted to write a book? start today for the next 31 days. Everyday make sure you write 483 words by 11:59 p.m. every night and voila by January 1st 2012 you have a 14,973 word book! Want to really match a weight goal, start with what exercise you want to and go at it for the next 31 days. Want to improve your photography, take a picture a day for the next 31 days and trouble all your friends by posting them to facebook :)
Its not only about doing stuff, but also make undoing stuff. Troubled about something you want to stop but never could? Start today for the next 31 days get off it. Remember don't do it today till 11:59 p.m. and continue till the end of the month.
Why do this? For one you can make a habit of these lovely things you can come up with, and get out of habits/behaviour/moods that you don't like.
This month will pass whether you do something or don't do something, get the most of the month and start now! the journey is going to be exciting! Godspeed!
