You have lots of things you'd like to do. But sometimes
it's hard to get to the finish line-just like your goal. How can you break your
bad habits and develop good ones?
Here are a few opinions we often get from kids, followed by ideas that might
help.
●I can't get away from screens.
If
you usually spend time lying on the sofa and watching TV programs or a video
when you're bored, go some-where else instead. Take a book to your room or your
violin to the backyard. Or ask if you can help cook in the kitchen.
●
Start with "showing up". Then take one small
step or do one tiny task, followed by another and another. For example, how do
I practice the piano? First sit at it. Then play one note at a time.
Starting with a super- simple step often helps. Why? It's
easy, quick, and gets you in action.
●I have no time.
Take a look at the choices you make about how you spend
time. Do those choices show what's important to you? Can you spare 10 minutes a
day to work on a goal? Let's suppose you want to be a singer. Talk with a parent about why your goal counts. Discuss
whether you can let go of something less important to free up time to achieve
it.
A. Then keep taking steps.
B. I can't start such a
huge goal.
C. And how can you try to reach
your goals?
D. To change a habit, try
changing where you spend your time.
E. Is it more important to
practice singing than play video games?
