What is a habit?

What’s the difference between habits and routines, the science of habits, how long does it take to form a new habit, changing habits: 5 mistakes to avoid, building good habits in 7 steps, how to maintain a habit.

Our habits shape who we are. Though we admit, forming positive habits isn’t always easy.

Depending on whether they are healthy habits or bad habits, habits determine if we’re going to be happy or unhappy. Healthy or unhealthy. Tired or well-rested . Strong or weak. The power of habits is far-reaching. 

Habits shape our attitudes, actions, and decision-making abilities . And they affect every aspect of our lives. 

But before we can build good habits , we need to understand what habits are and how they’re formed. We also need to know what mistakes we should avoid in the process. 

Let’s take a look at the art of building good habits, including the science behind them and how you can set yourself up to successfully form new, better ones today.

A habit is a tendency to do something, whether harmful or health-promoting. 

A good habit will help you reach your goals, develop both personally and professionally, and feel fulfilled. However, not all habits are good.

Habits are driven by reward-seeking mechanisms in the brain . They’re often triggered by something specific. For instance, walking past a cafe and smelling coffee beans can trigger you to want a cup. Feeling stressed at work can trigger you to smoke a cigarette.

After a while, habits become a repetitive part of your lifestyle. 

Here are some other examples of habits:

• Brushing your teeth after eating a meal
• Putting on your seatbelt when you get inside a car
• Drinking a glass of wine when you get home from work 
• Eating sugary or salty foods when you're stressed at work
• Fidgeting with your notebook during a meeting

Forming habits is the brain’s way of being more efficient . As far as the brain is concerned, the more tasks you can complete without wasting time thinking about them, the better.

And our brain's tendency toward efficiency can be positive. 

For instance, drinking a green smoothie every morning benefits your health . And not having to relearn how to drive your car every day means you have reliable transportation. 

Of course, this efficiency can also be negative. 

For instance, biting your nails every time you have a meeting at work can wreak havoc on your nails. Or not brushing your teeth after eating can lead to tooth decay.

The main difference between a habit and a routine is awareness. Both are regular, repeated actions. But while habits run on autopilot, routines are intentional . 

Routines need deliberate practice, or they’ll eventually die out. But a habit happens with little or no conscious thought.

For instance, a gratitude practice requires intention and effort . It won’t run on autopilot. The same is true for exercise. You’re not going to start exercising on autopilot. But (if you have the habit), you'll grab a cigarette on autopilot.

For a routine to turn into a habit, the behavior will need to happen with little or no thought. For instance, let’s say you add drinking green juice to your morning routine. If one day you wake up and make green juice without thinking about it, you can consider it a habit.

In this section, we’ll break down the four stages of habit formation.

How do habits form?

Habit-forming is the process in which behaviors become automatic. It can be an intentional process, or it can happen unplanned. 

For instance, you were most likely taught to wash your hands as a child. And after a while, washing your hands became automatic. It wasn’t intentional — it happened after lots of repetition. 

Replacing your nightly glass of wine with a glass of water, on the other hand, is intentional. So is replacing your morning cup of caffeinated coffee with decaf.

One thing to keep in mind about the habit-forming process is that it doesn’t happen occasionally. It’s an endless feedback loop that’s running and active during every moment you’re alive. That brings us to the habit loop.

What’s the habit loop?

Charles Duhigg, author of “The Power of Habit,” says that at the core of every lasting habit is a psychological pattern called the ‘habit loop .’

The habit loop includes a four-step pattern that all habits proceed through. The four stages are always the same and in the same order: 

• Cue/trigger

Your mind constantly analyzes your environment for hints of where rewards are located. The cue is the first sign that you’re close to a reward, like money or love. This step triggers your brain to start a behavior.

Since the cue means you’re close to a reward, it’ll naturally lead to the second step: the craving.

Cravings are the motivational force behind every habit. They give you a reason to act. However, what you’re craving isn’t the habit itself but rather the change in state you get from it. 

You crave a glass of wine because of the relief it brings. You crave wearing your seatbelt because it makes you feel safe. 

In the end, cravings stem from a desire to change your internal state. 

The response is the habit you perform. It can take the form of a thought or an action. Responding depends on how motivated you are and how challenging it is to perform the behavior. 

For instance, if an action requires more effort than you’re willing to put in, you won’t do it. 

The goal of every habit is the reward. The cue notices the reward, the craving wants the reward, and the response obtains the reward. 

For instance, let’s say you’re walking around town, and you come across a bakery. The cue would be noticing the bakery. The craving would be wanting a piece of chocolate cake. And the response would be going inside to order and eat a slice of cake.

We chase rewards for two reasons: they satisfy our cravings, and they teach us which actions we should remember in the future.

In a study run back in 2009, researchers at University College London found that, on average, building habits takes around 66 days before the behavior change becomes automatic.

However, the choice of habit was a major part of how long it actually took (between 18 and 254 days). 

In short, some habits are harder or easier to form than others. 

For instance, replacing coffee with green tea might be faster than giving up caffeine altogether. And replacing nicotine with hard candy might be slower than replacing it with nicotine patches. 

In the end, how long the habit takes to form will depend on how motivated you are and how much effort it takes to perform a behavior.

Here are five mistakes to avoid when you want to replace an existing habit with another:

1. You're not controlling your environment 

Failing to control your environment is one of the biggest threats to changing an old habit.

If you’re still going to grab fast food with co-workers after a bad day, you probably won’t stop stress eating and adopt intuitive eating . Instead, opt to hang out with friends at a different location like a cafe or a park.

The same is true for any habit. Make sure your environment supports the changes you want to make.

2. You’re trying to change too many habits

Focusing on too many behavior changes at once can make you feel overwhelmed and anxious . As we mentioned earlier, if an action requires more effort than you’re willing to put in, you won’t do it. 

Instead, focus on changing one behavior at a time. Once that habit becomes solid, move on to the next behavior.

3. You’re not committed to habit change

A healthy habit takes time and repetition to form. This means being patient and giving yourself some time to achieve your goals . Remember, it takes between 18 to 254 days to form a new habit.

4. You’re too focused on the outcome

Too many of us focus on short-term results, like losing 10 pounds for a beach trip or saving just enough money for a new computer. But the key to lasting change is a lifestyle change. Instead of focusing on short-term outcomes, focus on adapting your lifestyle.

5. You assume small changes don’t add up 

Sometimes we give up on changing a habit before we even start. We assume that we’ll need to make drastic changes that are too difficult. But every day, we have the chance to get a little better or a little worse. 

Instead of worrying about the big picture , start with small, realistic changes. Once those small changes have become second nature, you can slowly make bigger ones.

When building habits, you will often be replacing old ones. Here are seven ways to replace bad habits with healthier ones:

Eliminate triggers

Reduce cravings 

Make a negative habit difficult

Uncover the root

Adopt healthy routines

Swap a bad habit for a better habit

Build intrinsic motivation

1. Eliminate triggers

Identify the people, places, and activities that are linked in your mind to bad habits. Then change your behavior toward those. 

For instance, if you have a shopping addiction, avoid shopping malls. If you want to quit smoking, don’t go outside when your friends take a smoke break.

Chronic stress can also trigger poor behavior. Make sure to actively manage your stress levels to avoid triggers .

2. Reduce cravings 

Remember, cravings stem from a desire to change your internal state. This means you can reduce cravings by identifying how you want to feel. Then, use a healthier action to achieve that feeling.

For instance, if you’re craving relaxation , take a bath instead of smoking. If you’re craving energy, eat a banana instead of drinking your third cup of coffee for the day.

3. Make a negative habit difficult 

Habits can only exist if the behavior is easy enough to engage in. If you make the behavior difficult, you won’t be able to do it. For instance, if you have a bad habit of staying up too late, start work earlier in the morning. 

If you know you’ll be physically exhausted and running on a few hours of sleep, you’ll think twice before staying up late. 

4. Uncover the root

Uncovering the root of your bad habits is one of the most important ways to change them. For instance, maybe you’ll discover that you stress eat because you need coping tools. 

Knowing that a lack of coping tools is the root of your habit, you can nurture your mental well-being in better ways. For instance, you can use self-care practices like mindful breathing to cope with stress .

5. Adopt healthy routines 

Building good habits boils down to lifestyle choices. And one of the best ways to change your lifestyle is by improving your daily routine. Map out your day and integrate healthy practices where they make sense. 

For instance, eat a vegetable and a fruit when you wake up. Take a restorative nap on your lunch break. And take a quiet walk in the evenings. Make sure that the practices you choose are realistic and healthy. 

6. Swap a bad habit for a better habit 

Sometimes the easiest way to change a habit is by swapping it for a better one. For instance, instead of eating a slice of cake every night, swap it for a baked cinnamon apple. Instead of drinking a glass of wine, swap it for a glass of sparkling water. 

7. Build intrinsic motivation

To build intrinsic motivation , you’ll need to believe two things: you have the choice and freedom to act how you want, and a task will teach you something new and make you a better person.

One of the best ways to believe these two things is by learning how to deal with negative emotions . 

You’ll also need a way to measure progress towards your new habit. Seeing progress is a major motivator. This can be as simple as writing it down and hanging it on your mirror. It could also be making a fancy chart or spreadsheet.

And finally, take intrinsic motivation to the next level by making your goal public. Tell a close friend or announce it on social media. Public commitment to your personal goals works as a powerful accountability partner. 

Now that you know how to build good habits, let’s take a look at some tips for you to maintain your new behavior:

1. Make it part of your schedule

It can be easy for new positive habits to fall by the wayside when you don’t do them regularly. When we have a lot on our plate, life can get in the way of habit building. To avoid this, make your new habits part of your schedule. 

For example, you may have taken up virtual workouts to achieve a good work-life balance during COVID-19 . To practice self-management and make sure you maintain this healthy habit, incorporate it into your daily routine. 

Use time management techniques to effectively manage your time and prioritize your habits.

2. Create a supportive environment

Surround yourself with like-minded people who have similar goals to you. Why? Because as humans, we are greatly influenced by what others around us are doing or feeling.

A study found that the exertion of mental effort is contagious . Simply doing a task next to a person who exerts a lot of effort will help you do the same. 

Being around like-minded individuals is also encouraging. For example, you may have formed a habit of going for a run in the morning. Making connections with other runners will give you that extra energy and motivation to stick to your running habits. 

Being around a positive group of people who share similar goals and interests can be the single greatest catalyst to help you maintain your habit.

Tell your family, friends, and colleagues what your plans are to maintain your new habit. Sharing your habit goals provides accountability and support for your habit maintenance.

3. Use reminders

One of the trickiest parts of maintaining a habit is remembering to do it in the first place. This is especially true when you’re in the beginning stages of your habit. As we’ve mentioned above, it takes time for actions to turn into habitual behaviors.

To help maintain your habit, set reminders for yourself. This could be a visual reminder like a post-it on the fridge or your mirror. 

Or why not use technology to your advantage? Set up reminders on your phone or download one of the many habit tracking apps available. Some wearable stress trackers and sleep trackers have the functionality to set reminders. 

You can also set reminders about why you've decided to commit to your new habit, making you more motivated to stay on track and maintain it.

4. Practice self-compassion

Building a habit is difficult. But maintaining it can even be more daunting.

Putting too much pressure on yourself to maintain your habit can be counterproductive. For example, if you fail to keep up with your habit, it can be tempting to focus only on the failure . Negative self-talk and automatic thoughts like “I’ve failed again” or “I’ll never succeed” will only set you back.

Instead, avoid being too critical of yourself by practicing self-compassion and emotional regulation . Remind yourself that habit formation and maintenance is a journey. And failure is a natural part of the journey. 

Don’t beat yourself up, and focus on what future actions you can take.

Building good habits: an invitation to grow

Building good habits is one of the main pillars of personal growth . To build better habits, you should shape your environment in a positive way and take it one step at a time.

7 Powerful Presentation Habits

Dec 28, 2021 by maurice decastro in communication skills , general , leadership , presentation skills , public speaking.

Bad presentation habits are easy to find and hard to break. The good ones are available to us all and we don’t have to look too far to find them.

Stephen R. Covey’s book, ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ contains everything you need to know to achieve extraordinary results. It is a book which has impacted millions of lives across all professions for over 30 years. The wisdom also extends to any presentation you may be called on to make. If you read it closely you’ll find some very helpful presentation habits.

Whether you are presenting at your monthly update, a team brief, project update, board meeting or conference, it’s worth connecting with this wisdom.

Whatever it is, if you harness the integrity of the ‘7 habits’ your presentation will soar.

HABIT 1: BE PROACTIVE

Don’t believe the myth that great speakers are born that way; highly effective presenting and public speaking is a learned skill. Please don’t blame your parents or teachers for not giving you the confidence to speak. Be proactive in developing good presentation habits.

– Watch TED Talks . Presenters at TED follow some compelling precepts. They tell stories, give emotional context, stick to the point, support their message and keep it brief. Here are a few TED Talks I’d recommend you watch:

– Read

There are plenty of great books which can help you to learn presentation habits to speak with confidence and impact. Here are a few I’d recommend:

How to Deliver a TED Talk: Secrets of the World’s Most Inspiring Presentations – Jeremey Donovan

Made to Stick – Chip & Dan Heath

Presentation Zen – Garr Reynolds

Never Be Boring Again – Doug Stevenson

Resonate – Nancy Duarte

– Speak

Look for opportunities to speak, don’t shy away from them.

Explore possibilities and go out of your way to look for ways to present your ideas to colleagues and customers.

If the idea of standing up to present at work is a little to daunting to start with then consider joining a group. Somewhere you can practice speaking in a safe and supportive environment. Toastmasters is an International speaking club which has 16,600 clubs in 143 countries.

If you’d rather take a more private and personal approach, get yourself one to one coaching.

HABIT 2: BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

Stephen Covey presents Habit 2 as a journey of imagination. It’s based on the principle that you have to make it clear in your mind first what you want to achieve, before you can manifest it.

Presenting your ideas effectively to colleagues, clients or strangers is underpinned by the same principle. In this context, that journey of imagination begins with you sitting quietly long before you open your laptop to begin building your presentation. Ask yourself 2 questions:

What do I want my audience to feel?

Every great presentation is firmly grounded with a clear emotional intent. In other words, when you have finished speaking, how exactly do you want your audience to feel.

Please don’t make the mistake of answering that question with the words ‘informed and engaged’ as we often hear in our presentation training courses. On its own its still not enough. Making your audience feel ‘informed and engaged’ is a prerequisite in any presentation or speech but it lacks emotional impact. There has to be something else.

Here are just a few emotions you may wish to consider:

Enthusiastic

Keep in mind however, that sometimes, before you take your audience to the place of feeling something really good, occasionally you need them to feel uncomfortable. If that’s the case, you need to be clear on that too. Do you want them to feel;

Embarrassed

What do I want my audience to do?

Beginning with the end in mind means having absolute clarity what it is you want your audience to do.  If you don’t know exactly what it is you want them to do when you finish speaking then you can be sure they won’t do anything.

To substantially increase the likelihood of them doing what it is you want them to do, you have to make them feel something first.

“When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.” ― Dale Carnegie, ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People.’

HABIT 3: PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST

The first habit presents the idea that if you really want something to happen, the only person who can make it so is yourself. Habit 2 challenges us to accept the reality that we have to be abundantly clear on what that is and to be able to see it in our minds too. I believe that if Stephen Covey were writing these habits with the focus on presentations and presenting, he would say that Habit 3 is about your message. That entails:

–  Knowing and understanding your own message first.

 –  Making sure that everything you say is relevant to and supports your message.

 –  Knowing exactly why your message is relevant and important to your audience, why they should care about it and what tangible difference it will make to their personal or professional lives.

Putting first things first also means leaving your ego aside and crafting a message and presentation which revolves entirely around your audience. It means that you don’t strive for perfection but instead work diligently to towards making an impact and a difference.

At Mindful Presenter we have a philosophy and passionate belief that ‘connecting is everything’.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

This is a principle which embraces the idea of thinking and preparing your presentation in a way that is cooperative rather than competitive. Very closely aligned to Habit 3, it encourages us to focus exclusively our audience. It expels the notion of someone winning and someone else losing and urges us to craft a story that brings the presenter and her audience together.

It is a principle of harmony which entails building a relationship with your audience and connecting with them. That means that everything we say must be of value to our audience.

If they don’t win then you certainly won’t.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood

This is probably the favourite of my presentation skills habit because I believe it is the ‘Jewel in the crown’ of the set of 7 habits. After all, what chance do we stand of achieving any level of success if we don’t understand our audience. It is a principle which promotes the idea of listening before we even consider building and delivering our presentation.

I have long held a personal belief that ‘most people don’t listen’. Many of us do something very different; I call it ‘wait to speak’.

Many business presentations today centre around professionals ‘waiting to speak’. In other words, presnters saturate PowerPoint slides with text, data and bullet points which they can then read to their audience.

The Mindful Presenter seeks to understand their audience first:

– Who are they really?

– How much do they already know?

– What are their values?

– Do I undertstand the problems they have?

– Why should they care about this?

– How do they feel now?

– What do I want them to feel?

As you can see, there are a number of very important questions which need to be asked and answered long before we open our laptops.  Once we make the effort to really understand our audience, we increase the likelihood of them understanding us.

Habit 6: Synergize

Most people don’t like sitting quietly and listening to presentations but everyone likes being involved in a good conversation. A great presentation is far more of a conversation than it is someone just standing up speaking whilst running a slide show.

I think Stephen Covey’s wisdom continues to flourish as we consider synergy a vital element of our presentation. It’s about working together to produce meaningful results rather than simply talking at people hoping they see our perspective; we need to see theirs too.

Synergize means developing the habit of approaching every presentation as an opportunity to work closely with our audience. It means creating the time and making the effort to interact with and involve them in our message.

We have to put ourselves in their shoes.

We need to abandon preconceived assumptions and judgments and ask them for their thoughts, opinions and concerns.  When a presenter works very closely with an audience, they become a formidable team.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

The final habit extols the virtue of growth and harmony. The spoken word has the ability to elicit a powerful effect and to respect and harness that impact we have to make time for ourselves.

It is a habit of self-renewal that promotes the idea that to be the best we can be we have to keep fresh and stay ahead of the game physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. How can we expect to influence and inspire our audience, to lead action and change if we are not in peak condition?

It strikes me that it is possibly the most challenging habit for all of us because it entails most of the things, we know we should be doing anyway but still don’t always do.

– Exercising regularly

– Staying properly hydrated

– Eating healthily

– Cutting out the toxins

– Finding the time and space to sit quietly, breathe and think

– Meditating

– Visualising

– Challenging ourselves personally and professional

– Learning new things

– Having more fun

When our body, minds and emotions are not in as good a shape as they could be, we lose the energy, creativity and confidence to speak with impact.

Sharpening the saw is not only a good habit to end on it’s perhaps one most of us could benefit from enormously (presentations and public speaking aside) as we we begin the New Year.

As we step eagerly into the New Year, Stephen Covey’s book shares powerful lessons for personal change which many of us are more open to at this time of year.

Give some thought as to how you can build these potent habits into your presentation and public schedule this year.

If you need help with you presentation habits:

– Book yourself onto a powerful  public speaking course .

– Invest in some really good one to one  public speaking coaching .

– Get yourself some excellent  presentation training

25 Good Habits for a Meaningful and Balanced Life

Developing good habits can help you transform your life for the better. Bad habits can lead you away from your own goals or worse – your happiness. However, by fostering good habits, you can inch closer to success, happiness, and the life you want. By taking the time to invest in your personal development, you can become a better version of yourself. Here are fifteen good habits for a meaningful and happy life . 

What Are Good Habits?

Good habits are a positive behavior that you continually practice. Some examples of good habits include: exercising, eating healthy, practicing meditation, and more. 

How to Form Good Habits

1. try a habit tracking app.

Using a habit tracking app like Greatness can be a great way to help yourself stay on track.

Greatness can help you build healthy habits and daily routines that are actually manageable. Unlike generic habit trackers, it offers personalized habit programs, educational courses, and mental health coaching – so you can improve any area of your life, from health to work to relationships.

The app was developed with Samual Salzer, one of the top minds in behavior change. It advocates taking small steps, instead of changing your whole life overnight. That way, you can form habits that fit seamlessly into your everyday life.

Armed with the right tools like Greatness, you can make the process of building healthy habits much more effortless and enjoyable. It’s like having a personal cheerleader that celebrates your wins and holds you accountable when you stumble.

2. Start Small

To develop good habits, you’ll need to start small. By starting small, you’ll need to pick one and only one thing first. Most people give themselves a multi-page list of things to change only to fail. Having one thing to focus out will naturally ripple out to other changes as well. For instance, over a year ago I committed to doing one good deed a day, everyday, for the rest of my life. From there, I started reading books about kindness which developed a reading habit. Then, I started eating healthy because I wasn’t as stressed so stress eating was cured. Then, I developed the habit of exercising. Yet, none of those other habits formed were planned, they happened naturally from committing to one and only one good habit. 

3. Remove Obstacles

Some habits are hard to commit to. You might live in an environment that won’t support the habit you’re forming. Or maybe the one habit you’re choosing is tough to maintain for a long time. For instance, say you’re committing to a doctor recommended diet. The best way to remove obstacles in this case would be to pay for a meal delivery of the diet food already cooked. That way, you won’t feel overwhelmed by cooking at the end of an exhausting day . Preparing it will be faster than ordering take out from a fast food restaurant. For instance, you can subscribe to a keto meal delivery service that delivers all your meals in advance. 

4. Create Balance

Without balance, it can be hard to maintain good habits for the long haul. One simple way to create balance is to have one rest day scheduled in regularly. So, if you exercise six days a week, have a rest day on a Monday. Or if you’re sticking to a diet, break it for one meal each month. The goal is to maintain the habit for years so giving yourself a few breaks on set days will help you stick to your goal of developing good habits. 

1. Practice Daily Meditation

Your first step in your journey to developing good habits takes place in the mind. Your mind is like a control center for your life. It controls your moods, your actions, and how you live your life . If your mind is chaotic, you’ll live a chaotic life. If your mind is racing with negative thoughts , you’ll always see the worst in everything. But with meditation, you take back control of your mind. You might notice a negative thought arising but instead of internalizing it, instead you’ll watch it come and pass. That’s the impact meditation can have. It gives you back your clarity, your focus, and your positivity. You can check out our free guided meditations on our website or download our free meditation app on your phone to start this good habit today.

2. Spend Some Time Outdoors

There’s one vitamin that many people in colder climates are always low in but it’s essential to good health. That’s Vitamin D. And you get it naturally from the sun. While going for a walk on a cold day may be less than ideal, spending time outdoors is crucial for good health. It’s not just the sun. The fresh air you breath in and the ground your feet touch can help boost your mood and health. On warmer days, be sure to spend some time gardening or going for jogs around your neighbourhood. Developing this good habit can help you live a long life.

3. Read Thoughtful Books

Good habits come from good knowledge. It’s hard to improve yourself if you don’t know what that looks like, how to attain it, or if it’s even possible. By reading books each night, you can learn new perspectives, new ideas, new skills, and so much more. Education is the secret to success. But you don’t need to go to school to become educated. All you need to do is read books each night. We compiled a list of some great meditation books you can start out with if you’d like.

There’s a book available on literally every topic you want to improve on. Want to improve your communication skills so you can build more positive relationships? You might want to check out Non-Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg. Maybe you want to take back more control of your life so you focus on learning how to negotiate better. In that case, Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss might be worthwhile to check out. If you’re looking for a self-help book to help you become a leader, you might want to read How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. You can build good habits by reading books that teach you how to improve your weaknesses.

4. Develop A Healthy Sleep Routine

One of the good habits you’ll need to develop is a proper night time routine . Going to bed at the same time each night (including weekends) is a great way to help develop a pattern that’ll help you get your rest. Aim to go to bed at 9 or 10 in the evening to wake up naturally in the morning instead of being startled awake by your alarm. Many stoic philosophers also believed in getting an afternoon nap in, each day after lunch to help them stay sharp. If you notice you feel a bit drowsy after eating, consider adding a quick half hour nap during your lunch hour to improve your focus in the afternoon.

5. Express Gratitude

One of the good habits you can build to increase your happiness is expressing gratitude each day. Compile a gratitude list each morning to reflect on what you have and to reap the benefits of gratitude . It’s never been easier to lose sight of all the wonderful things we have in our life. All you need to do is head to Instagram and look at your friends vacation pictures, slim figures, loving couples photos, and picture perfect life. Maybe you’ll want to try a social media detox for a while.

There’s no need to be envious of what others have. There are countless people in the world who have less than you who still find love and happiness in their lives. It’s okay to be temporarily frustrated, sad, or angry when things don’t go according to our plan. But it’s important to remember that this moment is fleeting and you still don’t see the whole story. Sometimes bad moments lead to good moments and this can be true of even the darkest periods in our lives.

Even on our darkest days, we must do our best to see the good we still have in our lives. Write it down. Develop the good habit of listing all the things you’re grateful for each day. This will give you hope on tough days. 

6. Pick Up A Hobby

Some say people should invest in three hobbies: one that keeps you fit, one that makes you money, and one to boost your creativity. Overall, this is pretty sound advice for anyone looking to develop good habits. There’s a healthy balance between those three things. Maybe you start running each day with a group, then freelancing on the side, and you practice guided meditation for focus .

Each activity helps improve a different focus in your life. The hobbies don’t need to invest in too much time either. You can practice meditations in 10 or 20-minute sessions. Running for just half an hour each day can give you a runner’s high without eating up time. While a side hustle can eat up time. Yet, you can also choose one that allows you to automate processes to save you more time. These three good habits allow you to have balance in your mind, body, and finances.

You’d be surprised at what kind of impact something as simple as a smile on your face can have on someone. If you regularly walk around with a smile on your face and a positive mental attitude , you can bring happiness and joy into other people’s lives. People will also be less combative with you. You’ll find friendlier faces in your daily interactions. And it all starts with a smile.

Smiling is contagious as well. So, if you’re walking down the street and smile at a stranger, that person will very likely smile back at you. What you don’t see is that maybe that person was having a bad day and yet your smile shifted their focus – even if just for a moment.

Smiling is also good for you. It helps strengthen your immune system.It helps reduce your stress levels. Smiling helps you boost your own mood (and others moods too). Smiling releases feel good endorphins. And it helps you stay positive . It’s actually really hard to be negative when you’ve got that big ol’ smile on your face.

Smiling is one of those good habits you’ll want to develop to live a happier life and to make the lives of those around you happier as well.

8. Try Right Brain Activities

When thoughts get louder than usual, it’s usually due to an overactive left brain. So, to have some mental peace and stability you’ll want to strengthen your right brain. Thus, right brain activities are good habits to develop. The right brain is known as the creative brain so any creative activity will help calm the chatterbox in your head. Some examples of right brain activities include: meditation, painting, drawing, coloring, gardening, cooking, family hangouts, graphic design, matching games, fashion design, scrapbooking, or even just making things. Keep in mind that writing also activates the left brain due its use of language so you’ll want to minimize the amount you do. Those with more active right brains tend to calm the mind more than active left brain people.

9. Speak Kindly

We’ve all had those dreadful moments where we’re frustrated or mad and we say something that we live to regret. So many of the world’s problems are caused by communication errors. While we’re all imperfect, for the most part, most people are good. But sometimes our emotions get the best of us and we say things we shouldn’t.

One of the good habits you should consider developing is speaking kindly – even during tough conversations. Aim to be empathic with people who may be disgruntled, mad, or frustrated. Sometimes people take out their frustrations on you. But it’s important to remember that you have full control over your reaction of every event that happens to you.

And with that power knowing how much control you have, it’s a must to do your part in the world of spreading kindness. You can’t take back hurtful words and it’s extremely difficult to undo the damage toxic words can have on someone.

10. Exercise

On any good habits list, exercise always finds a way to creep its way in. With busy workdays and family life keeping us so busy, we tend to put our physical and mental health on the backburner. But the lack of exercise can cause serious health issues for you down the road.

The hardest part about starting an exercise regimen is taking that first step. You come home from a long day at work, the very last thing you want to do is change your clothes and workout. But fortunately, with online fitness classes, at least you won’t need to leave your home.

A trick that works wonders at motivating you to workout is to make a YouTube playlist of workout videos with the songs you love most. That way, when a song gets played out all you need to do is swap it in with a new song. There’s so many workout videos to all the top songs on YouTube that you can easily follow along to.

By developing good habits like exercise, you’ll feel more energy throughout your day which will make you happier. Those endorphins sure know how to make you feel good. Plus, you’ll be taking part in living a healthy life. Doctor recommended.

11. Recite Positive Affirmations 

Good habits like reciting positive affirmations can help you maintain a positive attitude. Studies show that optimistic people live longer, are more social, and achieve greater careers. While pessimism may be a genetic trait, it is possible to rewire the brain to become more optimistic. You can do this by reciting positive affirmations, doing right brain activities, practicing meditation, and doing other calming activities. Objecting to negative or toxic thoughts by replacing them with positive thoughts is a healthy way to help challenge thoughts that don’t uplift you. Every time a negative thought enters your mind, think of the polar opposite thought to help train your brain to think positively. For instance, “I can’t lose weight” becomes “If I keep eating healthy and exercising, I will lose weight.”

12. Eat a Balanced Diet

The busier we get the easier it is to just open up that Uber Eats app and order take out. But that quickly becomes a slippery slope. It starts off with just one order but before you know it, you’re ordering take out several times a week. And the chef is definitely not putting in the ingredients that make up a healthy meal.

Eating a balanced diet is one of those good habits you’ll want to do. And with so many different diets and meal plans to choose from, it seems like there’s a lot of confusion about what a balanced diet even is. We’re all made differently. We all share different values. And that’s totally okay.

But there are little things you can do such as reducing the amount of sugar you eat or stocking up on veggies. Focus on filling your body with all the nutrients you need to help you determine what a balanced diet means for you. With mindful eating , you’ll make better food choices.

13. Spend Time with Friends

One of the most neglected good habits is spending time with friends. As we grow older, family life takes over and friends get replaced. But the happiest people are those who’ve maintained their friendships into old age. Your friends are the people who likely knew you before you fell in love or started a family. They’re important people too!

Find time to spend with your friends. Simple things such as celebrating birthdays, mailing random thinking of you cards in the mail, or going out to a quick coffee can really help you strengthen your friendships. Believe it or not, you’ll immediately remember how much fun it is to hang out with your friends. All the silly inside jokes you have, all the wild memories you’ve shared together, and that feeling of being accepted and loved by someone who isn’t blood. It feels pretty good.

According to Psychology Today , maintaining and having friendships helps people as they age. This becomes extremely critical after the age of 65. Likely because that’s when your kids are busy with their own kids. So aim to have life-long friendships with those you care about. Don’t lose touch. Learn how to be a good friend .

14. Practice Mindful Living

Mindful living is all about being present in the world. After all, if good habits don’t involve real world living, what’s the point? When was the last time you looked up while going out for a walk? Have you ever looked up from your phone to talk (phone-free) with your family? Do you pay attention to labels when buying food to ensure you’re nourishing your body with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients galore? You’ve eaten your favorite meal dozens of times. But have you ever eaten it slowly, focusing on the chew to really taste it, instead of gulfing it down? On this good habits list, you’re not just going to want to try these things but do it with attentiveness and focus. If possible, get into a flow state . That’s what living is really all about.

https://declutterthemind.com/wp-content/uploads/overthinking-10-mins.mp3

15. Volunteer

Volunteering is one of those good habits that help you build a meaningful and happy life. Most of us think that the most important person in our lives is ourselves. And that’s true. And self-care is so important. But outside of our lives, there’s a world of people who need love, support, and care.

There are people who can’t afford to put food on the table. There are people who are struggling with the loss of a loved one. Others may be battling demons they can’t control. And by volunteering, you not only get to help those people and make a difference in their lives. No. You also become grateful for the things you have.

Volunteering helps you further develop your compassion towards others. It’ll help you practice patience and understanding. And by hearing people’s stories, helping people in need, and doing good work, you become more empathetic . And that empathy will help you build more meaningful relationships and appreciate your life a bit more.

16. Spend Time with the Elderly

Loneliness is the most common emotion felt by the elderly. As they grow older, so do their children who become busy raising children of their own. However, the beauty of spending time with the elderly is that they have so much life experience and so many stories to share. You can learn so much from them simply by spending a day with them. A good habit is spending time with the elderly so you can live life as you should. You might be able to learn from mistakes that someone made in their lifetime so you can correct wrongs early in your life. There’s also wisdom to help you gain an appreciation for what you have in your life now. You can gain a lot of perspective from spending time with the elderly. 

17. Eat Dinner with the Family

One of the good habits to develop for a meaningful and happy life is to eat dinner with the family each night. As Netflix and other streaming services become more popular, families are more likely to eat separately while watching their favorite shows online. But ensuring your family spends quality time together every day at dinner allows you keep your relationships strong. It also ensures that you always know how your family members are doing. You can talk about your days, your challenges, things that make you happy, and share kind words with each other. By eating dinner together every night, you commit to keeping your family bond strong. 

18. Practice Good Hygiene

One of the good habits we can’t avoid talking about is practicing good hygiene along with a self care routine. Showering each evening or morning is not only good for others, it’s also good for you. Water therapy can help people overcome bad moods. Brushing your teeth can help you improve your oral hygiene. Using deodorant prior to working out or starting your workday can help leave you smelling fresh. Good hygiene is always appreciated by others. But it can also prevent illness, improve self-esteem, reduce pain, and it helps improve social relationships.

19. Watch Something Funny

Injecting humor and laughter into your days is one of those good habits that’ll ensure your happiness for years to come. You don’t necessarily need to watch something funny, maybe you hang out with a funny friend, or you follow a funny social media account so you get your daily boost of happiness. If you constantly expose yourself to stressful or negative content, you’ll likely always be negative as well. But if you focus on watching funny content or chatting with hilarious friends or following funny accounts, you’ll live a more playful life.

20. Build Passive Income

There’s no such thing as job security. Job loss is possible at any time. Some companies even have annual layoffs in the beginning of the year. Unless you have an in-demand job and work at a popular company, the risk for joblessness is possible. Automation has been replacing people. Take a look inside grocery stores and fast food restaurants and you’ll find machines to take your order instead of people.

To have some sort of sense of a safety net, every person should have some sort of side hustle. That can be investing in stocks, freelancing, building a business, or anything that helps you generate income consistently. That additional income will help you pay down the bills faster but also help you stay afloat if you were to suddenly be laid off due to unexpected circumstances. Unless, you’re an entrepreneur or self-employed, you should consider building a passive income stream. Having financial security is one of the good habits to develop today.

21. Simplify Your To Do List

Having a simple to do list is one of the good habits you should have. There are two types of people in the world: people who have to do lists that are longer than they can possibly finish and people who do not have to do lists. But there is a happy medium that can serve you well. Being organized and having a to do list can help you feel a sense of purpose and a sense of accomplishment when you finally cross something out. But you need to be realistic about what you want to accomplish and how long it takes to complete. Keeping a daily to do list of only five tasks will help you realistically accomplish more. You’ll feel happier knowing that you regularly accomplish what you set out to without feeling overburdened or behind like those with epically long lists.

22. Journal

Good habits like journaling allow you to express yourself. Journalling can take many forms. For some, they might be diary entries into your day to day life to reflect on at a later point (maybe for that memoir you’ll write someday). For others, it could be a creative outlet to design and plan your life, help you achieve your goals, or hold you accountable for an important practice, such as a gratitude journal, bullet journal, or mindfulness journal . Journals don’t need to focus on novel length stories, you can use drawings, calendars, stickers, or bullet points to share your wild thoughts and ideas. Journaling can inspire you to self-reflect, achieve, and share all in one place.

23. Analyze Your Week Each Sunday

One of the best good habits to have is to regularly monitor your performance and behavior each week. You can keep a journal or answer the same set of questions. By picking a set day of the week such as Sunday to do this, you ensure that you consistently do this good habit. To live a meaningful life, you need to regularly check-in with yourself.

Which good deeds did you do this week? Were you always kind to others? Are you moving towards or away from your goals? Did you spend enough time fostering relationships with those you care about? Did you fall off the wagon for any of your goals? How can you improve? By asking yourself questions like this each week, you hold yourself accountable. You can literally answer the same set of questions each week so that you stay committed to what you’re setting out to accomplish. 

24. Have a monthly date night

Long-term and married couples should consider having a monthly date night. In the early days of a relationship, couples spend an abundance of time together. They head out to restaurants, go to the movies, and go for long walks or drives. But as relationships get longer, the act of dating goes to the wayside and sometimes couples slowly fall apart. Kids, busy work schedules, and tight budgets can make dating hard for long-time couples.

Consider adding a monthly date night to your calendar to help devote some time to one another. If you’re looking to live up to the happily ever after you promised one another in your wedding vows, this good habit will help strengthen your relationship. Find time to talk about how life’s going over a cup of coffee, go for a walk by the water, and leave the kids at grandma’s for a couple of hours. It doesn’t need to be expensive to be worthwhile. You just need to be present and together. Consider setting some relationship goals to ensure yours stands the test of time.

25. Do a Daily Act of Kindness

To live a purposeful life, doing a daily act of kindness is one of those good habits that are a true game-changer. Most people don’t think about doing kind things each day. But it’s those little things that really make a difference . You can do something simple such as send a Facebook friend a birthday message. It’s someone’s birthday every day so that can be one of your acts of kindness. You can also write appreciation cards for coworkers, friends, or family members where you list what you really appreciate about the person. During the holiday season you can mail out cards to family, friends, and strangers on the internet. By getting in the habit of being kind, you live the kind of life you’d be proud of living. 

You might want to add other good habits on your list of what you want to develop in yourself. That’s cool. These are just some of the good habits you could potentially consider. There are so many others that can be just as valuable and meaningful in your life. It’s not just about coming up with a list of good habits but really going out of your way to take action on them. And really make them a part of your life.

How can you make a good presentation even more effective?

This page draws on published advice from expert presenters around the world, which will help to take your presentations from merely ‘good’ to ‘great’.

By bringing together advice from a wide range of people, the aim is to cover a whole range of areas.

Whether you are an experienced presenter, or just starting out, there should be ideas here to help you to improve.

1. Show your Passion and Connect with your Audience

It’s hard to be relaxed and be yourself when you’re nervous.

But time and again, the great presenters say that the most important thing is to connect with your audience, and the best way to do that is to let your passion for the subject shine through.

Be honest with the audience about what is important to you and why it matters.

Be enthusiastic and honest, and the audience will respond.

2. Focus on your Audience’s Needs

Your presentation needs to be built around what your audience is going to get out of the presentation.

As you prepare the presentation, you always need to bear in mind what the audience needs and wants to know, not what you can tell them.

While you’re giving the presentation, you also need to remain focused on your audience’s response, and react to that.

You need to make it easy for your audience to understand and respond.

3. Keep it Simple: Concentrate on your Core Message

When planning your presentation, you should always keep in mind the question:

What is the key message (or three key points) for my audience to take away?

You should be able to communicate that key message very briefly.

Some experts recommend a 30-second ‘elevator summary’, others that you can write it on the back of a business card, or say it in no more than 15 words.

Whichever rule you choose, the important thing is to keep your core message focused and brief.

And if what you are planning to say doesn’t contribute to that core message, don’t say it.

4. Smile and Make Eye Contact with your Audience

This sounds very easy, but a surprisingly large number of presenters fail to do it.

If you smile and make eye contact, you are building rapport , which helps the audience to connect with you and your subject. It also helps you to feel less nervous, because you are talking to individuals, not to a great mass of unknown people.

To help you with this, make sure that you don’t turn down all the lights so that only the slide screen is visible. Your audience needs to see you as well as your slides.

5. Start Strongly

The beginning of your presentation is crucial. You need to grab your audience’s attention and hold it.

They will give you a few minutes’ grace in which to entertain them, before they start to switch off if you’re dull. So don’t waste that on explaining who you are. Start by entertaining them.

Try a story (see tip 7 below), or an attention-grabbing (but useful) image on a slide.

6. Remember the 10-20-30 Rule for Slideshows

This is a tip from Guy Kawasaki of Apple. He suggests that slideshows should:

• Contain no more than 10 slides;
• Last no more than 20 minutes; and
• Use a font size of no less than 30 point.

This last is particularly important as it stops you trying to put too much information on any one slide. This whole approach avoids the dreaded ‘Death by PowerPoint’.

As a general rule, slides should be the sideshow to you, the presenter. A good set of slides should be no use without the presenter, and they should definitely contain less, rather than more, information, expressed simply.

If you need to provide more information, create a bespoke handout and give it out after your presentation.

7. Tell Stories

Human beings are programmed to respond to stories.

Stories help us to pay attention, and also to remember things. If you can use stories in your presentation, your audience is more likely to engage and to remember your points afterwards. It is a good idea to start with a story, but there is a wider point too: you need your presentation to act like a story.

Think about what story you are trying to tell your audience, and create your presentation to tell it.

Finding The Story Behind Your Presentation

To effectively tell a story, focus on using at least one of the two most basic storytelling mechanics in your presentation:

Focusing On Characters – People have stories; things, data, and objects do not. So ask yourself “who” is directly involved in your topic that you can use as the focal point of your story.

For example, instead of talking about cars (your company’s products), you could focus on specific characters like:

• The drivers the car is intended for – people looking for speed and adventure
• The engineers who went out of their way to design the most cost-effective car imaginable

A Changing Dynamic – A story needs something to change along the way. So ask yourself “What is not as it should be?” and answer with what you are going to do about it (or what you did about it).

For example…

• Did hazardous road conditions inspire you to build a rugged, all-terrain jeep that any family could afford?
• Did a complicated and confusing food labelling system lead you to establish a colour-coded nutritional index so that anybody could easily understand it?

To see 15 more actionable storytelling tips, see Nuts & Bolts Speed Training’s post on Storytelling Tips .

8. Use your Voice Effectively

The spoken word is actually a pretty inefficient means of communication, because it uses only one of your audience’s five senses. That’s why presenters tend to use visual aids, too. But you can help to make the spoken word better by using your voice effectively.

Varying the speed at which you talk, and emphasising changes in pitch and tone all help to make your voice more interesting and hold your audience’s attention.

For more about this, see our page on Effective Speaking .

9. Use your Body Too

It has been estimated that more than three quarters of communication is non-verbal.

That means that as well as your tone of voice, your body language is crucial to getting your message across. Make sure that you are giving the right messages: body language to avoid includes crossed arms, hands held behind your back or in your pockets, and pacing the stage.

Make your gestures open and confident, and move naturally around the stage, and among the audience too, if possible.

10. Relax, Breathe and Enjoy

If you find presenting difficult, it can be hard to be calm and relaxed about doing it.

One option is to start by concentrating on your breathing. Slow it down, and make sure that you’re breathing fully. Make sure that you continue to pause for breath occasionally during your presentation too.

For more ideas, see our page on Coping with Presentation Nerves .

If you can bring yourself to relax, you will almost certainly present better. If you can actually start to enjoy yourself, your audience will respond to that, and engage better. Your presentations will improve exponentially, and so will your confidence. It’s well worth a try.

What It Takes to Give a Great Presentation

• Carmine Gallo

Five tips to set yourself apart.

Never underestimate the power of great communication. It can help you land the job of your dreams, attract investors to back your idea, or elevate your stature within your organization. But while there are plenty of good speakers in the world, you can set yourself apart out by being the person who can deliver something great over and over. Here are a few tips for business professionals who want to move from being good speakers to great ones: be concise (the fewer words, the better); never use bullet points (photos and images paired together are more memorable); don’t underestimate the power of your voice (raise and lower it for emphasis); give your audience something extra (unexpected moments will grab their attention); rehearse (the best speakers are the best because they practice — a lot).

I was sitting across the table from a Silicon Valley CEO who had pioneered a technology that touches many of our lives — the flash memory that stores data on smartphones, digital cameras, and computers. He was a frequent guest on CNBC and had been delivering business presentations for at least 20 years before we met. And yet, the CEO wanted to sharpen his public speaking skills.

5 Great Presentation Habits

• By: Scott Schwertly

Imagine the perfect presenter delivering the perfect presentation. They can win over any audience with their confidence, knowledge, and delivery. What does this Hercules of presentations look and sound like? But most importantly, how can you adopt their effortlessly great habits? Here are a few key characteristics to work on if you want to be the best:

1. Confident Voice

A confident speaking voice is clear, loud, unbroken, and avoids needless filler like “um.” It is a voice spoken from the chest that can land dates and convince an audience. But most importantly, it demands the audience’s attention. As Christine Jahnke , author of The Well-Spoken Woman writes: “your competition is attention span.”

2. Eye Contact

Eye contact is the quickest way to convey to the audience that they matter more than your slides or notes. Ethos3 founder Scott Schwertly has a brief video lesson about why it should never be left out of your presentation:

3. Steady as a Mountain

Nothing says, “I have no confidence in myself or my message” quite like fidgeting. Picking at your nails, excessively using hand gestures, playing with your hair, or pacing are all nervous bad habits that fall into this category. A good presenter knows how to master their movements at the appropriate times .

4. Note-Free

A demi-god presenter doesn’t need to rely on reading notes or the screen; he has arrived prepared and is familiar with the material. This requires more than just memorization. It entails knowing all of the main points and how to reach them naturally through the flow of the speaking. Jitters are reduced when you know the material so well that you can recite it while sleeping.

5. Great Storytelling

Hercules would have a wealth of interesting stories that can tie together the presentation with a heroic journey . Boring facts and stats are abandoned and nervousness is decreased when the presentation is framed with a beginning, middle, and end. In the words of Buffer co-founder Leo Widrich, “ our brains become more active when we tell stories .” Including a storytelling is a sign of someone who is comfortable with their audience and knows what people want to hear.

Great presenters aren’t born, they are created by honing in on their natural ability and practicing in weak areas. With a bit of crafting, you can adopt these five great habits and turn out a powerful performance every time.

Question: Which good habits can you practice for your next presentation?
