The Canalside Life Coach Guide to Developing Positive Habits

Developing positive habits is essential for enhancing your quality of life, at any age. Find out about effective strategies to improve your well-being:

Understanding Habits

Habits are your brain's way of simplifying daily tasks, allowing you to perform activities like tying your laces without conscious effort. However, some habits may no longer serve you well. Identifying and modifying these can lead to significant improvements in how you feel about yourself and your life.

Coaching with NLP to develop positive habits

Journalling is a powerful tool for Developing Positive Habits - a young woman uses her laptop at a desk sitting in her wheelchair At Canalside Life Coach, I specialize in guiding individuals to cultivate beneficial habits through personalized coaching online and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This offers techniques to reprogram your subconscious mind, facilitating behaviour change in a natural way - you are in control. Through NLP coaching, I can help you quickly:

  • Develop strategies to embed positive habits naturally into your routine.

  • Utilize "brain hacks" that are easy to learn and apply for emotional strength building.

  • Focus your energy on desired outcomes, making the process feel more effortless.

Accountability and Progress - we will establish realistic checkpoints and milestones to monitor your progress.

Regular reflection on questions like "What are you doing, feeling, or believing differently since the last session?" help reinforce new habits and thus provides evidence of your achievements. There will be ups and downs, but we can time your activities to work round the realities of your life. I undestand the need to consider the whole person.

UNDERSTANDING HABIT TRIGGERS HELPS IN DEVELOPING POSITIVE HABITS

The following is good preparation for taking action about a habit you want to develop, or moving away from some behaviour that no longer serves you as your life is now.

  1. Maintain a Log or Diary: Keeping a record of your habits helps identify patterns and habit triggers. You can use your mobile's calendar or a habit tracking App to note occurrences, or you may prefer a small notepad to carry with you. Don't become too hung up abou tit, it's a simple awareness raising task.

  2. Identify your habit triggers: Understanding the environment (including people!), emotional state, and timing associated with your habits is crucial. Ask yourself:

When does the habit occur?

What satisfies the urge?

• We'll work together to identify the cues that set off your unhelpful habits. Perhaps it's a certain time of day, a specific emotion, or being around certain people.

According to Charles Duhigg in "The Power of Habit," approximately 40% of our actions are driven by habits, not decisions.

The most common habit triggers fall into five categories

  • A specific place

  • Time of day

  • Other people

  • Emotions

  • Preceding actions
