Stop for a moment and take it in. We're midway through summer. How do you feel? What has your summer been like so far? What do you want the rest of your summer to be?
Summer is unique because it feels like we have more time. You're probably doing a million things, but it feels different. Summer is special because it's easier to focus on YOU. It's easier to give yourself some space to BE.
Summer is the perfect time to adopt behaviors that will enhance your daily routine come fall.
In our Summer Success Program, we focused on principles of habit formation because we tend to get what we repeat. If you're stuck in habits that aren't helpful – change them! If you're already dialing in habits to elevate your awesomeness – tell us your secrets! There's always room for growth and fine-tuning, summer is the time to do it.
You have the power to shape your habits and, in turn, your future.
Top-five tips for building key habits:
- Focus on who you want to become. It's less about the actual habit you are building and more about the person you are becoming. Think: I am a person with solid academics because I prioritize my study sessions.
- Start small. It's easy to get overwhelmed when you try to do too much. Instead, create a two-minute version of your habit to start. This approach makes the task more manageable and boosts your confidence as you see yourself making progress.
- Find a place and time for your habit to exist. If you don't schedule your habit, it won't happen. Prioritize your habit by finding a realistic place in your schedule for it to live.
- Make it easy. When there's less friction, you're more likely to complete your habit. Design your environment to make things easy on yourself.
- Track your progress. Tracking helps build momentum. Download a habit-tracking app (like HabitShare), create a system in your planner, or download a template from Canva to post where you'll see it. Tracking your progress is the number one way to successfully build a new habit!
Here's your invitation to create what I like to call a Universe of Possibility for yourself. It's up to you to create the life you want. Why not make it easy? Why not streamline your habits so you can feel your best? Why not start practicing now - in prep for your BUSY semester this fall?
