3 Ideas for Better Habits
Take Ownership
Leadership expert, Stephen R. Covey, on the beginning stages of change.
"But until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise."
Focus Your Thinking
Creator of the time management method "Getting Things Done", David Allen, on how to view your goals.
"The great secret about goals and visions is not the future they describe but the change in the present they engender."
Change Your Reality
Psychologist and acclaimed author, Ethan Kross, on the power of the mind.
"The mind is flexible, if we know how to bend it. If you have a fever, you can take something to bring it down. Likewise, our mind has a psychological immune system: We can use our thoughts to change our thoughts—by adding distance."
