Tiny Steps, Big Change!
If you have failed in the past trying to make big changes in your life, try again now, one tiny step at the a time.
Every year it's the same. As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about last year. You excitedly wrote down all the changes you were going to make, but by the end of January those ideas got lost in your crowded life.
Here's a suggestion : Forget the overreaching, hard-to-achieve goals. Just think small. " We have this extreme-makeover culture that you think you've got to do everything in big steps, even though the evidence is overwhelming that it doesn't work," says phychologist Robert Mauer, who recently publish One Small Step Can Change Your Life. "What are we try to do is break down to a step so small that people couldn't possibly resist or have any excuse not to do it."
The technique is called kaizen, a Japanese word for an American business philosophy adapted to change behavior and attitudes. During World War II, American factory managers increase productivity by trying small, continuous improvements rather than sudden radical change. After the war, U.S occupation forces brought that philosophy to a rebuilding Japan, which made it a cornerstone of the country's amazing economic rebound. The Japanese called it kaizen, which mean "Improvement".
Maurer, who teaches at the UCLA and unversity of Washington medical school, says he began to studying whether the idea could could help people who couldn't tackle big challenges. "Some of its psychological, and some of it is just their overwhelmed lifestyles," he says. "They don't have time to go to the gym and do all those other things we know are good for us. So kaizen seemed logical thing to experiment with."
Quotes :
Nobody can achieve a big goal by one step. You need to divide the big goal into several small ones which are easier for you to persist on.
No matter how large the distance between you and your goal, you need'nt to worry about it. Make a detailed plan and just put your focus on the things you should accomplish today. In this way, you will always feel sense of achievement will encourage you to go on.
