How to Make a Change to Your Routine That is Everlasting?
Hi, dear Steemians!
Change is at the very start of every human progress in the history of our species. It is also the foundation of self-improvement, for as long as you want to achieve something that you do not already possess, you need change.
But we are always seemingly aggressive towards even the idea of change. Our comfort zones compel us to forsake change or even fight against it, be it a change in our daily routine or a change in the way we think.
Even when we are willing to change something, our subconsciousness always fights back and yearns for comfort.
How do we make a change in ourselves that is forever lasting and not frail?
Our mind would sooner see us fail at life than allow us to leave our comfort zones. That is why even if you have had enough of a miserable life and want true change, you cannot easily achieve it.
Your mind fights back to avoid the pain of change and see the pleasure of comfort and familiarity.
You decide to bring discipline into your life. You plan your every move and step, and you actually go through with it.
A couple of days pass and you begin to feel that you are slightly being pulled into the darkness that you just left. Another day or two passes before you fully succumb to that madness and go back to where you had been before.
Because when you bring instant change to your life and actually try to turn it into a reality, your mind doesn’t let go of the comfort zones that pull you back to your previous routine.
The important lesson that I want to teach you today is that if you want to bring an everlasting change to your life, you need to bring it slowly and treat it with delicacy and care.
Imagine that you want to get into a cold water and swim. There are two approaches on how you can do it.
You can either jump in the water instantly or you can slowly make your way into it. Some would say that it is much more painless and logical to instantly jump into the water. That is true, until the next day comes.
The next day, you are too afraid to get into the cold water altogether. Because even though you found the process much easier the other day, you cannot bring yourself to do it again because of the instant, immediate, and terrifying shock or pain that ensued after your decision to jump into the water. You cannot bring yourself to do it again
That is the same thing with change. Instant change is bound by frailty and will vanish after a couple of days or weeks.
If you want to truly change something about your life, you need to slowly bring that change into your routine.
For instance, if you want to read more in your daily hours, you don’t suddenly decide to open a book and read for 6 hours and continue to do so for the days to come. What you do is start out by reading 15 minutes.
Then day after day, you add 15 more minutes and arrive at the place you want to be.
After two months, you realize that you have made a habit out of reading and cannot bring your day to a close if you haven’t read for 4 hours.
That is how true and lasting change happens. With dedication, patience, and care. it doesn’t happen instantly or right now, but eventually it will and the change will always remain with you and become a part of your identity.
If you want to make an everlasting change to your life, decide to do it slowly.
A BIG HUG!

Thank you.
@chbartist sir!
If the circumstances are always the same, then there is a feeling of bubbling in the ways of living. For which always requires regular innovation so that our interest in life and work remains intact. It is logical that the person always takes comfort and simple path so that he can live life easily. When we mention the change, we become furious, whereas life is the name of struggle, if there is no uneven situation and conflict, then the fun of living life becomes gritty. For which the most important is self improvement then improving the circumstances around you. A good person is the one who conducts himself according to the circumstances and makes changes in his thinking methods. This change serves as a plan. Although we have to leave our personal happiness and sluggish life because change is a part of our daily routine and we have to adopt it in every situation.
I totally agree with you. From time to time, many people get the idea to change their lives. But for many it still remains a fantasy. Thank you for your useful advice, I think it will be useful to many.
Comparto que el cambio para que sea para toda la vida tiene que ser con mucha cautela, porque no olvidemos que los seres humanos siempre sentimos incertidumbre a la hora de emprender un cambio y ademàs muchas veces mostramos resistencia al cambio.
@chbartist, Human Being is most complex creation and in my opinion, in our mind so many thoughts travel and sometimes we get confuse between multiple thoughts as which one has to choose to walk with effective mindset and which can help us in achieving what we want to achieve. But to achieve success we have to leave behind our comfort zone for sure. Stay blessed. 🙂

Hello dear friend, this is a tip that can be applied in all aspects of life, I have applied it in many things, going progressively is more effective for me, because if I make the change drastically, in a week I continue with my previous habit .
Saludos @chbartist! Tal como lo indicas en la publicación, la mayoría de nosotros preferimos, en los momentos de cambios, que estos se desarrollen de forma rápida y económica.
Sin embargo, los cambios que se realicen sin tomar en consideración el entorno y los involucrados, no cumplirán con lo requerido, incrementando la ansiedad y la desesperación. Es también cierto, que la experiencia nos programa para sentir miedo a los cambios, ya que hemos vivido situaciones donde la solicitud de esfuerzo es superior a lo que estamos dispuestos a entregar, por lo que nos tentamos a realizar cambios rápidos pero no eficientes, limitando nuestro avance. Para re programar nuestra mente, y así engañar al subconsciente que pretende mantenernos en la zona de confort; debemos enfocar nuestros pensamientos a situaciones de crecimiento progresivo y constante, hasta hacer costumbre o habito el crecimiento personal.Great post 👍 thanks for sharing this post.i like it this post.i appreciate your life..
All is a great post. The exact change you said is very important and it has been going on since a very old time. But the change should not mean that we should try to think differently from our personal life. You said absolutely correct that change In the affair we lose our life of comfort.
Thanks for sharing.
