COT:
ATTITUDE
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a school, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you.. we are in charge of our ATTITUDES. – CHARLES SWINDOLL

COT:
Habits. We all have them. Some good (those involved with family, work, F3). Some not so good.

Oftentimes, we seek to change our bad habits and create new and better ones. We make resolutions. We resolve to get in shape, to eat healthier, to spend more time with our families. But the fact of the matter is that 88% of new year’s resolutions (if you make those) end up failing and we’re left feeling frustrated and powerless to make progress.

We need milk before solid food. Hebrews 5:14 says “… solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.”

So what does it mean to be trained by constant practice?…
A few years ago I picked up this little book called “Small Move, Big Change”. It was an easy read and takes a simple approach to changing behaviors and ultimately our habits. We make our goals too broad or idealistic, and at some point, our autopilot kicks in. Autopilot is that system of unconscious habits and preferences that have become so engrained through repetition.

So what’s the solution to changing? It starts with a bitesize goal. Something that focuses on a specific change in behavior and not a result. Instead of committing to “I’m going to eat better” or “I’m going to be more organized”, a microresolution would break that into something easy and measureable. “I’m going to pass on the cookies at our Wednesday meetings”. “I’m going to make my bed every morning”. Easy. Measureable. Successful.

You can even make these a little more personal. Analyze your habits to determine the single changes that will have the greatest impact. Think about your daily cues. I always snack after a trip to the grocery, usually even before I get everything put away. So, a more personal microresolution for me might be “I will not snack during or after putting away the groceries”. Easy. Measurable. Successful.

So you get the point here. Don’t set too many microresolutions. Make a couple and when those changes in behavior become habits, set new ones. Easy. Measureable. Successful.
