轉眼間,已經接近2012的尾聲....
除了衣物要換季連習慣應該也要汰舊換新!!
不管是好習慣或是壞習慣,只要一但變成慣性就很難改變
這陣子嘗試改變了一些跟以往不同的行為,像是移除手機上的FB,生活中沒有電視,提早進公司...etc
就這樣過了兩個月,沒有這些消遣好像也沒太大影響。
反而多了更多時間來做其他的事...
最近看了Cultivate life transforming habits in 21 Days這篇文章,
不管是壞習慣或是培養新的習慣都可以採取21天的循環。
你可能想問,為什麼是21天?
他裡面有提到:
1.只要21天都做同一件事就足以讓大腦的神經拓譜認為這是一個習慣
2.21天比30天來的有效
對我來說,21天完成後不管成功或失敗都可以花點時間檢討,
執行起來是否在過程中造成很大的困擾?
如果無法成功,真正的徵結點在哪?
目標是否的太簡單還是高不可攀?
由於主要目的在於"完成",所以除非意志很堅強,否則建議一開始定一個能力所及的就可以了。
21-days算起來是三個禮拜,所以真正的阻力是在第二個禮拜,如果能夠認知這一點,就會比較能在過程中找到平衡並鼓勵自己!
作者在網站中也列出他自己想利用21-days trail改掉或培養的習慣,大家可以參考看看:

看起來很棒,是不是?
很多成功的人都利用這方式改變了自己,
當然,不是只有這21天這樣做然後21天之後就沒了,真正的挑戰當然是你能不能持續下去!
像是早睡早起,準時上班,閱讀一本書,戒掉吃速食,不抱怨,吃素....
當然21-days是一個手段一個方法,
真正背後的原因你必須很清楚才有堅持下去的動力!!
像是...
更健康更苗條 : 不吃速食,不喝有糖的飲料,每天運動30分鐘
生活更有趣 : 每天認識新朋友,每天看一本書
增加英文能力: 每天聽30分鐘ICRT,每天背10個新單字
時間管理 : 不看電視,不看八卦周刊,早起一小時
當然缺乏動機也可以增加吸引力,沒錢送自己禮物那就....
21天沒喝飲料喝一杯,或是21天沒打電動就放自己一天假愛玩多久就上多久~
(聽起來有點可憐,but for your own good)
我呢?
為了自己更美好的未來,首當其衝對付的就是機車的個性和肥滋滋的體重
第一個21-days trial "不生氣 + 每日鄭多燕" 就從明天(2012/10/22)開始吧!
(如果想追蹤進度可以用HabitForge來track你的21-days trial, 這程式如果你一天沒做他就會重新計數~)
