irrevocably changed.
•
Habit change—You can choose to either get rid of bad habits,
like sleeping
too late, or you can choose to create good habits, like exercising five times a
week. Most habit changes allow you to try something new for a little while,
but you can always revert back to your old habits.
•
Trying-something-new change—Change
sometimes involves trying
something new or mixing up your daily routine, like volunteering at a
hospital or taking violin lessons.
•
Behavioral change—Sometimes there are behavioral changes that don’t
necessarily constitute a habit. For example,
maybe you want to commit to
going to all of your child’s sports games or maybe you want to behave
friendlier.
•
Emotional change—Not all change is tangible. Sometimes it’s emotional.
For example, if you want to feel less irritable all the time, you’ll need to
examine the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to your irritability.
•
Cognitive change—There may be ways in which
you want to change your
thinking as well. Perhaps you want to think less about the past or maybe
decrease worrisome thoughts.
READINESS FOR CHANGE
New Year’s resolutions
are commonly broken, because we try to make changes
based on a date and not because we’re really ready. And if you aren’t ready to
create change, you likely won’t be successful at maintaining it.
Even changing
one small habit, like deciding you’ll floss your teeth every day or giving up your
bedtime snack, requires a certain level of commitment.
