Included in this conversation with myself is the question, “what am I really looking forward to today?” It’s usually my workout or time outdoors, but if I can’t think of something, I add something fun or interesting to the agenda. So I almost always start my day with a positive outlook (and usually end it the same). Having a job I like helps a lot. I always thought of my little morning meeting with myself as planning and focus but I guess it’s visualization in a way. Starting new good habits and maintaining existing good habits is easier for me than breaking old bad ones, though. When I’m successful, I identify the conditions that accompany the bad habit and then come up with an alternative. Then I remind myself of the reasons for my choice and how disappointed I will be with myself if I blow it.
