Trying to change one’s habits can be challenging. Part of the trick, in my opinion, is to focus on making those changes first thing in the morning. It’s a bit of that “Eat That Frog” philosophy that you can read about in Brian Tracy’s book of the same name.
For most of my adult life, I’ve been a terrible procrastinator. I have an irrational fear of way too many things, and now, here in my 50’s, I am working to correct that behavior. I recognize that I do it – I guess that’s step one. The other thing I need to focus on is that idea of “What’s the worst thing that could happen?”. In the case of not getting things done, the negative outcomes are far more likely than getting things done, even if one is putting piss-poor effort into a completed project.
A couple years ago, during the political season of 2016, I was a very active critic of Kansas governor Sam Brownback. An old buddy of mine would pop into my facebook posts with a picture of a puppy or a kitten to get my mind back in right place (thanks, Tony!), and that kind of morphed/evolved into a habit that I still pursue daily. I try to update my facebook profile picture every morning. The other component to this particular habit change manifested in my pursuit of a positive attitude. I can be a grumpy old bear sometimes (my wife might say that’s my default state), but finding and posting on a new thing to be grateful for every day is one of the most positive habits I have ever created for myself.
