Habit Creation Is A Repeatable Process
“I was reminded there is a process to habit creation: believe it is possible, make small changes first, understand your motivation, overcome setbacks. There is a process — and it is repeatable. As long as we have breath we have opportunity to bring about change.”
- Joshua Becker, becomingminimalist.com
Excellence Is A Habit

Change Your Routine
Turning off the autopilot of even one daily routine can help you become more mindful overall. Take a small pause from routines here and there to allow new soul growth to emerge so when life gives you a big reason to pause, it won’t be a shock to your system.
1. Take a new route to work or school.
2. Trade cars with your partner for a day.
3. Take a shower with your eyes closed.
4. Sit in a different seat for meals at home or work.
5. Sleep on the other side of the bed.
6. Eat something you’ve never had before.
7. Eat breakfast for dinner; eat dessert first.
8. Listen to new music.
9. Leave the TV off.
