How to Form a Habit
Understanding our habits and working to ingrain the ones that best serve us is essential for not only our productivity, but our mental health and contentment. In a way, our habits reflect the very nature of who we are. To quote the great Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, “Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny”. With this in mind, creating and shaping new habits can be a difficult and sometimes daunting task met with a lot of mental resistance.
