Action plan The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple

37、as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not.

38、y, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life.

39、will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school.

41、n. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.18_ If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits. For example, your old belief was: “I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed. I need ci

42、garette to be happy and relaxed.” If you keep this belief, you wont be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body. Yoga makes me happy.” You

43、 should analyze your beliefs and make sure they wont stop you from changing your habits. The same is true when you try to form positive habits. If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: “Healthy food is very good for my health. It gives

44、 me a lot of energy and I feel very good.”19_Its now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits. Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of. For each positive habit, write down exactly w

45、hat actions youre going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit. For each negative habit, write down exactly what actions youre not going to take in the next weeks. Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy

46、relationships, hard work, etc. Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc.20_ Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and commitment. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action right now! Dont be afrai

47、d. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life.
