Feel as if you are 100% ready to develop the new habit. Feel as if readiness flows from
your mind down to your fingertips, down to your toes. Feel as if eagerness flows within
you. Your entire being is ready to do and embrace the upcoming changes.
Picture yourself committing to start. Picture yourself starting small—so small that it can
make you see it as something you can easily do.
You set up a time and place to do it. You choose a time when you are completely free and
energized. You pick a place that helps you be mindful and feel at ease. You know you
can stick to the time and place.
You incorporate the small habit-forming steps in your daily routine smoothly. You find it
easy and quick to do. You feel satisfied after doing the first step. You feel motivated to
do it again.
See yourself keeping track of your journey. You take notes right from the start. You mark
your calendar as you practice your habit daily.
Feel as if you are fully committed to building your new habit. You commit to doing it
every single day, at the same time, and at the same place. You are committed to it. You
look forward to doing it over and over again, until it becomes second nature.
You tell your family and friends about your quest. You muster support from them as you
go on.
You commit big and you tell it to the world. The world listens and believes in you.
Imagine yourself increasing the duration or the times you practice the habit each day.
You increase it bit by bit, slowly but surely.
Visualize yourself mastering each increase. Feel as if it is all naturally occurring. You
maintain the positive attitude each time you practice the habit.
Picture yourself slipping every now and then, but you realize that it is okay. It is normal.
To slip means you miss today but at least you tried yesterday and the previous days. To
slip also means you can go back in track tomorrow.
Picture yourself trying again after each slip. To try again means you value forming the
habit more than perfecting your record. To try again means you value your attempts more
than your slipups. To try again means you are a step closer to building the habit, a step
closer to achieving your goal.
See the support and encouragement from your family and friends. Picture them as they
readily offer their hands to help you get back in track in your habit formation. They do it
because they know you can. They do it because they want to see you succeed.
