If you want to consciously create positive habits, you will first need to know what your goals are. What do you want to achieve? Where do you want to be in 5 years..?

Write down very clearly what you would like to achieve, be or acquire, and use all the goal-setting tools you know to make it as clear as possible. Write it in the present tense, e.g. I am an airplane pilot. Make sure it is positive; this means that you state what you want instead of what you don't want.

Use the SMART goal criteria to help you make your dream into a goal:

Specific: write down exactly what you want.

Measurable: how will you know when you've achieved it?

Achievable: is it within your control to do it?

Realistic: given your resources, can it be done?

Time-bound: When will you do it?

After you have established clearly what you want, ask yourself WHY you want it. This will provide the motivation and drive for you to reach your goal and create the correct new habits. Make sure you have strong reasons.

When you are clear about your small action steps, it will be a lot easier to form powerful habits. Small steps make a BIG difference! Try it!
