There are so many habits that are beneficial but some people make the mistake of believing they must have all in order to achieve whatever their goals are and this cannot be further from the truth.
Just think about it for a moment. It is not about what you have but how you use what you have. This also implies that you may only need a little of what is on offer for you to go so far. You have to be pragmatic when it comes to habit. The mistake of some is that they fail to see habits and they would see social or physical things.
With social or physical things you chose what you know will serve the purpose of getting you from one point to another. You call it a success when you get to the other point, asserting that it was the tools you chose that helped you to make it to that point.
There could be a lot of good habits, but you might just need one to get you from one point to another point. Doing anything else might be a big mistake.
Taking Everything Probably Means You Will Take Nothing
You might find it easier to hold unto one thing that to wrap your arms around a hundred. Trying to lose every bad habit and gain every good habit is taking more than you can chew and you may never be able to master one.
Taking One Makes You To Focus On That One
Focusing on that one means you will be able to determine the where and the whys of how and when things went wrong with that habit. It might be a bad habit you want to lose or a good habit you want to imbibe, you will be able to break it down to the smallest bits and pick or discard them one after the other.
You See A Telling Difference
When you imbibe just one good habit and make it part of you, the results can be shocking. When you want so many habits at once, you might not be able to master any enough for it to show or make a difference. That one habit you mastered could break barriers for you and take you further than you could ever imagine.
How To Imbibe A Good Habit
Define The Points
Know where you are and where you want to go. If you can do this, you will be able to do the next thing, which is to chose the best tools (habits) that will get you to the next point. You need a compelling reason to want imbibe that reason. It is the reason that will serve as the milestones for the end point.
For instance, you want to imbibe good study habits. You will need something compelling enough to make you want to get this habit. A professional examination that you must sit successfully might just be that compelling reason.
You only want one habit and that is to be able to spend time studying. You now have a compelling reason to set a timetable and stick to it. it may not be as simple as that but since there is a compelling reason, you do not mind forming or joining a study group. You do not mind drawing from those who have that habit and riding their tail winds.

Once you have defined the points, the next thing would be to find people who have that habit and stick to them. Shadow them and do what they do when they do it and how they do it. You do not know anything at this point but what you know is that you must imbibe that habit. If they are people you can approach and they are open to having you tag along, so just that and you would be drawing from their strength almost immediately
Do Not Overdo It
The fact that you are with them will make you catch their tail wind. You do not have to keep abreast of them. They have been doing what they do for a while now and you are just starting so if they can sit for 4 hours a day studying, stop at the first hour and congratulate yourself. Make them understand that you just want to be able to sit for a while with them and study so that they will not pressure you onto sitting for 4 hours with them. You might react to this in a way that will make things worse that it was before you sought them out.
Do Not Be Pressured
Set your own standard. They are sitting for four hours nonstop, tell the person beforehand that you just want to do it for one hour. Being placed under pressure to perform at the level they are is a common mistake.
People who want to imbibe good habits can do so without stress. As you can tell, the content of this article does not just address the issue of habits alone.
