We all need to change some of our habits.
When we spot a problem, it’s easy to jump straight to what we think is the solution.
As productivity blog 99u points out, self-awareness is the first step to actually fixing any habit.
you might’t change your patterns if you don’t know what they are.
Why was I nervous when speaking to that stranger?
What did I learn today that was useful?
Was I kind to others, to myself?
Why did I check Instagram 10 times in the midst of company?
When my friend was telling me a story, why did I tune out?
But you don’t have to meditate in the sense that you’re sitting cross-legged with your eyes closed.
you might journal your thoughts.
you’re able to simply think out loud while pacing around your room.
This is one area whereself-trackingcomes inhandy.
Before jumping straight to action, take a step back to be reflective first.
