We often get obsessed with making life-changing transformations. But what if you changed your lifestyle instead?
In his best-selling book “Atomic Habits,” James Clear gives several examples where he recommends making small lifestyle changes instead of dreaming of those big life-changing goals. For example, losing 40 pounds would be a life-changing goal, but drinking eight glasses of water daily is a new lifestyle. Earning an extra $20,000 yearly would be a life-changing goal, but working 5 hours per week as a freelancer is a new lifestyle.
Instead of decluttering your entire house, start by decluttering one drawer
Life can often seem overwhelming. In these moments, the strategy of tackling one small task at a time can provide tangible relief. Much like the manner in which a house becomes cluttered, our lives can seem increasingly complex and chaotic if we attempt to solve everything at once.
The principle behind decluttering one drawer daily is that the action is manageable and achievable. Tackling the entire house may seem insurmountable, but one drawer is doable. The same concept can be applied to our personal and professional lives. Breaking big life-changing goals into small, manageable tasks makes our journeys significantly less daunting.
The key takeaway here is that small changes can lead to big results. By focusing on small habits that you can incorporate into your daily routine, you can make significant progress towards your goals without feeling overwhelmed.
Instead of dreaming of big, lofty goals, choose a new lifestyle. What small habits can you start incorporating into your new lifestyle today?
