HOW TO LEARN POSITIVE HABITS

Our habits largely condition what we are. When we aim to change something this is the way we should do so:

All actions we carry out require "activation energy". If we want to turn an action into a habit, it will be easier by lowering the level of energy needed to activate it. For instance, if you are preparing an English test and revision is required at home, do not keep the books or CD´s on the shelf or out of sight, leave them handy and properly visible, in a way every time you see them the right amount of energy you must apply to start revising will be activated, the handier the books are the better.

See to revise and listen to CD´s at the same time always and at least for 30 minutes. To get into a lasting habit it is necessary to repeat it at least for a month.

Once the habit is learnt, get down to revising is much easier and it takes less effort.
