How Habits Can Help You Be Successful

I am excited to feature this guest post today from Life on Purpose Coach, Mindi Huebner. She is a certified Health, Life and Belief Clearing Practitioner and certified NLP Practitioner and Clinical Hypnotherapist.

We went live together on my Facebook page a few weeks ago talking about how food can affect your mental state. Today, she’s going to share about how our macro habits can be obtained by implementing micro habits into our daily life.

Thanks, Mindi!

Are you looking for increased productivity, more energy, and more focus? Of course, you are! You are working, living your life, and doing all the things.

Did you know that your brain loves to do things on autopilot? Yep, over 80% of what we do is automated. We don’t even think about it.

What are we talking about? Habits!

Your brain only knows you need habits for survival. It has no idea if the habit promotes your health and wellness or it doesn’t. You get to create powerful habits to increase productivity, energy, and focus – you just need a plan. 

Two Essential Ingredients for Success:

Macro Habits and Micro Habits

When we decide we want something different, like increased energy, or we want to be someone different, a next-level version of our amazing selves, how do we go about achieving these things?

 

We set outcomes AND we set up conditions for inevitable success.

Wait, what?

Yep, enter macro and micro habits.

Macro Habits = Outcome
Micro Habits = Conditions for Inevitable Success

1. Macro Habit – I want to move my body more to increase energy.
   • Micro Habit – put it in my schedule as an unbreakable date with myself.
   • Micro Habit – get my work out clothes ready the night before/ have my walking shoes in the car.
   • Micro Habit – have my yoga video cued up/my fave podcast ready for my walk.
2. Macro Habit – I want to drink more water to increase focus/productivity.
   • Micro Habit – buy a bottle/mug specifically for consuming copious amounts of water.
   • Micro Habit – set a reminder on my phone every 2 hours to drink my water.
   • Micro Habit – start liking and then loving water. Add lime, mint, or cucumber if you don’t – make it fun!
3. Macro Habit – I want to reduce stress because stress steals my energy.
   • Micro Habit – start my day in gratitude (without checking email, looking at my phone, or watching the news.)
   • Micro Habit – practice breathing. Seriously, it’s something we forget to do – 2 or 3 intentional deep breaths are magical.
   • Micro Habit – remember that I am the thinker of my thoughts and they create my reality. Am I thinking of stress-filled thoughts? If so, it’s time to think of new, better thoughts!

Winning the Game We Are Playing

Finally, we are always winning the game we are playing. If we constantly tell ourselves we are stressed out, we will be – WE WILL WIN. How about flipping that script, that story in your head?

Try winning the game of not being stressed out, winning the game of gratitude.

Win the game of “I create my reality and I’m creating more energy!”

Decide what you really want in your health, your work life, your home life – define those macro and micro habits and see your productivity, energy, and focus increase!
