A small decision can lead to a big turnaround in your life. Deciding to save $5 or $10 per week in a savings account can lead to a habit of saving regularly. Deciding to cut back on one Starbucks latte a week can save $7 and the calories that can help to lose weight. Deciding to read 15 minutes a day of a self-help book or bible can lead to reading a whole book or more in one year's time. Even deciding to park at the rear of a lot to walk a little further for exercise can make a difference and lead to regularly exercising or concentrating on getting healthy.
A small decision can lead to establishing habits that can turn your life around. It typically takes 2 to 9 months for a habit to become automatic behavior. Some behaviors can become natural to you when you are motivated to learn the behavior and the benefits are supported by your value system and personality. If you're a shopaholic, then you have to also get rid of or suppress the habit of spending to formulate a habit of saving. You have to change your desires and motivations to form habits that will be beneficial to you. Small decisions and small changes can make a habit lead from baby steps to large gains in improving and turning your life around.
Make a small decision today and make a new habit tomorrow.
