Hello everyone, this is Christy. The following paragraph will taking about the second part of this book, atomic habits.
Key things that I have learnt in this week:
To us, we all believe that goal is somethings that lead to our happiness. Therefore, we always chase for goals in our life. However, when we reached our goal we will keep on finding the new goal for us. Life is just like a process of chasing goals one and one over.
1. Three layers of behavior changes
For each behavior, there are total three layers, which are outcomes, processes and identity.
Outcomes layer:
This focus on the result of the habit. For example, if you want to keep fit, and outcomes layers means the result which is having a slim body.
Processes layer:
This layer focus on changing the habit and systems.
Identity layer:
This layer means that focus the belief and change your personal identity.
Most people would like to process the habit formation from outer circle to the inner one. They would first making an expected outcomes. However, scientific proved that creating the habit from the inner one to the outer one will truly successfully build up the habits.
2. Four steps for creating a good habit and remove the bad ones.
The fours steps that lead to a good habit including cues, craving, response and reward. We
would talk a bit more details about the fours steps on the following chapter. But for this week, I have read more about the steps on making cues. Cues is something can help to trigger your brain to do something. Therefore, for good habit, you should make the cues much obvious while the bad habit, try to keep it more unnoticeable.
Feedbacks:
After reading several chapters for this week, I have learnt several skills that can improve my life. Sometimes we would have the crave for making a new habit. For example, I always want to become such a tidy person. From time to time, I would tidy my working desk, my drawers and makes everything are organized after that big improvement. However, I would find out that my desk starts to be untidy after several days. This looks like an unstopped cycle for me and that's makes me feel kind of frustrated.
Then, at this points the skills that I have learned in this books really work!!! I use the first steps for changing my identity by two simple steps in this book. First is that I have decide the type of person that I want to be and then I prove it myself by a small wins.
Therefore, I try to think of becoming a tidy person, giving myself small rewards. Days by days, it works!!
Hello Christy~ this is Chiho~. It is very doubtfulness that we will keep on finding the new goal. It's very enough to satisfy a thing we achieved already but we will still create a new goals to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteI am also the person who tides the room, makes it messy and feels frustrated about this cycle. Whatever it is about our assignment or tiding room, it is better to give ourselves a small goals and small rewards, otherwise we have no power to achieve the goals and give up soon
Hey hey hey, it's me here having something to say XD
ReplyDeleteI'm interested about the three layers of behaviour changed. I believe the majority of us tackling our problem from the so-called outcomes layer simply because it's what we see. We want the result hastily, but we often overlook what truly influenced the consequences. Moreover, the tricky part is that, 'old habits die hard', plus identity is an abstract idea which hardly figured out easily. In my view, once we've improved it, most of the concerning issue would easily solved.
I think it's hard for me to develop a new useful habit as I grow up. But it seems like you are a great model who I can follow!!!
