Set Small Goals
Once you have clearly identified your new habit, you can shift to setting goals to accomplish it. The goals should be small, practical, and obtainable.
If your starting goal is too outlandishly complex or impossible, you will never develop the motivation to begin.
If your new habit is to eat healthier foods, a good starting goal would be to eat more fruits and vegetables. It seems small, but that is the point. By setting yourself up for success, you can build momentum to accomplish more later.
Another characteristic good goals have is measurability. This helps to illustrate when the goal is achieved. The goal of eating one fruit and one vegetable each day for two weeks will meet the requirement.
Everybody likes a change of scenery now and then, but travel is good for your health and can be more powerful than you might imagine.
