Let’s create a positively vicious cycle.

What do I mean by positively vicious cycle, I mean creating a habit that can be carried out for a long period of time without making drastic or radical changes that won’t hold over the long haul.

A positive habit change is personal. You create it, for you. It builds slowly, step by step, day by day and year by year. A positive habit, that feeds on itself, grows and leads to success.

Why do we seem to have only negative vicious cycles or habits? Like eating disorders and drug or alcohol abuse. Why not create a positive vicious cycle? Like getting fit. Then losing weight. Finally maintaining the change over a lifetime.

Zen Habits the awesome site about change says,

“The problem is creating the habit. It’s easy to read something that sounds good, but it’s infinitely harder to implement.”

This is a guest post at Zen Habits by Haider Al-Mosawi on the: Two Simple Ways to Form New Habits Without Really Trying:

“you have experienced time and time again, your willpower will dwindle a few weeks down the road (if you survive that long) and drag your commitment down with it, leaving you with your old ways… if not worse!”

“Rather than trying to commit FULLY to a new habit, you simply take a step in its direction.”

Start with me. Start small. Start, step by step. Then dream as your habit grows, dream about your next step and work slowly toward this new goal. Then repeat this process over and over creating a positively vicious cycle. Slowly but surely you will get to your overall goal. Like getting fit.
