We frequently mention services and techniques to help you develop good habits and break bad ones at Lifehacker, but if you're having difficulty really sorting out the things you could or should change about your life, the blog Zen Habits has a solid suggestion: Think of your daily activities as things you "practice." Now consider which of those activities you dislike, and why you keep doing them.
Some of the examples that blogger Leo Babauta offers as bad habits that we often unknowingly practice are things like getting up in the morning with barely enough time to get to the office when we should instead practice getting up earlier and embracing a relaxing morning, and checking your inbox as soon as you wake or turn on your computer when we should try to do something productive to start our day. He argues that our lives are really a series of things we practice, and if we consciously practice better habits, we'll not only identify and break our bad habits, but we'll organically grow good ones, and live as more proactive life?where you're aware of the habits you're developing and choose to embrace them as opposed to just falling into them because they're just "what you do."
This method of identifying and correcting bad habits may sound a little whimsical, but Babauta likens it to the way we practice any activity we want to get batter at, like a sport, driving a car, or a new language. Big bad habits are easy to identify, but how do you sort out the smaller ones that could be making a big impact on your life? Share your tips in the comments below.
