CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A review of “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. A book about habit formations, how and why they form, and how to created new or change old habits. A few key takeaways for me:
- Habits are like compound interest. Saving $1 isn’t going to change your life, but saving $1 every day over time will. Same for certain habits. Smoking today isn’t going to kill you, but smoking everyday for years might. Eating healthy today isn’t going to make you lose weight, but eating healthy every day will lose weight over time.
- To change your habits, you must change your identity. Your mind believes you are what the evidence says you are. You cannot claim your identity to be a fit man if you sit on the couch and eat junk food. The evidence doesn’t support the identity. You must give yourself evidence of the identity overtime, and habits are they way to do that.
- “You do not rise to the levels of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems”. A lot of people focus on goals, which are good, but goals alone won’t help you achieve a goal. I want to be a more fit man for my health and my kids, but if I only have a goal, I’ll never get there. I need systems in place, like habits, to be the focus on my attention. You have to focus on the actions that build up overtime to reach the outcome you want. Create habits that will support the goal, and focus on those habits. The goals will take care of themselves.
