Our life is made up of habits. The passage of days is full of repetitive behaviors, we act automatically, habits continually free us to make conscious decisions, we are already used to showering in the mornings, dressing, drinking coffee and running to catch the bus, the subway or Find the open lights.
We don’t think, we do everything on autopilot, we do it by mentally preparing the mid-morning meeting or choosing the dishes that we will serve in the evening to our guests. We throw away rice when we read on the internet that it’s not good to eat carbs at night and opt for salad. It’ll be a salad and some side dishes. It’s faster and more likely for everyone.
- The age of technology is a dissociated era.
- Where the body and mind spend a lot of time working in different directions.
- The body takes care of habits and the head of the new.
- The complex or the important.
- This dissociation influences.
- For example.
- The perception of time or the fact that we make more mistakes in simple tasks.
- We leave the keys in a certain place and we can’t remember.
- The thing is.
- When we leave the keys.
- We read the ad they left in the mailbox.
The body is responsible for the habit and brain of the new, complex or important.
Then, by placing the advertising brochures on the keys, we started typing the email we were going to type below. From this dissociation, the fact that the head follows a different speed from our body, the stress that keeps our pulse and high blood pressure is also born, is like chasing a carrot that is always in front of us, because the stick and rope keep it anchored in our head.
For a moment, we close our eyes and reopen them, frightened by our inertia and the chatring of our habits.
In the midst of this inertia, many would like their lives to be different, we would like to be more organized, spend more time with our friends, and not feel blocked by our problems when a friend calls us to tell us that their mother has passed away. When we realize the astronomical speed with which we travel the world, do we also realize that we would like much of our lives to be different?a change that involves changing our habits.
We have to do something to make that happen. You’ll never know this city you love so much if you don’t save money, buy a plane ticket, pack your bags, fasten your seat belt and get ready to fly, we’ll never make it if we don’t change our habits, if we don’t take the first step.
We would like to be more organized, spend more time with our friends and not feel blocked by our problems when a friend calls us to tell us that their mother has passed away.
Believing that the comfort of repetition is often a kind of black hole that imprisons us. A change requires a decision, cost, and execution. We have to get out of our heads, in imaginary games, and start looking for alternative behaviors and their realization involves taking risks, risks that accelerate our heart rate, but with a different flavor than stress.
Well, what can we do to bring about a significant change in our habits?We will structure the process in three steps:
Of course you’ve felt this in your life: we make a thousand plans of changes that seem easy when we’re in bed before bed, but in the morning, when we set foot on the ground, we get on the ground, we get on with our habits. we’re putting the train on the track, but the effort to get it up and running is much greater.
This may be the last point we have to manage when we seek change: to be aware that there will be times when we will fail or that will be very difficult, but no problem, we have the opportunity to try again.
