I have talked about habits quite a bit and the reason is that it is at the center of being either success or failure. To having a good life and struggling. You now know that habits are actions that you have done so often you know do them subconsciously. You may no even remember doing them. I once lived at an apartment building for 4 years and then moved to another apartment 2 miles away. More than once when I was tired I would find myself in front of my old apartment after work. It took 90 days for me to break the old routine. Many time when I was headed to my new apartment I felt that I was headed the wrong way.
Habits are powerful force that you can harness your subconscious to help propel you to success. Now what kind of habits will help you.
Good Work Habits would be a good place to start. Show up to work on time and ready to go to work. Look for the duties that no one else wants and then offer to do them. Dont just go through the motions but work like you own the place. Ask your boss what skills or duties would you have to do to get promoted.
Financial Habits would be another great place to start. Instead of spending all you make why not put 10% away from each check for either future emergencies or for a nice treat. Study the stock market. Become frugal. Watch your money outgo. Every dollar saved is equal to about 1.50 in earnings based on your tax bracket. If you develop the habit of watching where your money goes you will have a better life style with no more work required.
Life Long Learning is a habit that can change your life. Setting 1 hour aside a day will allow you to gain new skills that will help you in your job or allow you you to get a new job or career. You can new skill sets that will allow you to change your life for the better.
If you could ask any successful person 1 of thier secrets I think that the abilty to change or develop hahabits would be at the top of thier list.
