Seven Key Factors for Implementing Personal Change
There are numerous reasons why the majority of personal change
initiatives fail.
According to various scientific research, it takes on
average 66 days for any new behavior to become integrated as a new personal habit.
That’s a little over two months!
Hence, it is little wonder that so many people give up and
abandon their personal change initiatives before achieving success.
Sadly, too many people quit too early in the process. This
is often because they underestimate the time required to fully inculcate and
instill a new behavior or a new change into their daily routines.
Don’t let this happen to you.
We have created a list of the 7 Key Success Factors for Implementing Personal Change, which you can access at our new Living A Determined Life website.
In short, these seven key success factors are:
1.
Put time aside daily / weekly to review your
actions.
2.
Give priority to your personal change
initiatives over daily tasks.
3.
Write your personal change goals in the SMART
format.
4.
Share your goals with others and allow them to
hold you accountable.
5.
Focus on 1-3 change initiatives at a time, and
no more.
6.
Track progress.
7.
Recognize your efforts and reward your
successes.
Of course, it is not enough to simply commit to change.
You also have to commit to action.
These 7 Key Success Factors for Implementing Personal
Change are designed to help to commit to action, and then to sustain (and
modify) the actions you take.
You will also find one more tool on the Living A
Determined Life website for you to use. It’s a Personal Change Action Plan,
which incorporates these 7 Key Success Factors for Implementing Personal
Change.
We hope you find these 7 Key Success Factors and Personal
Change Action Plan helpful in re-energizing and re-igniting your personal
development goals. For more ideas, see our previous blog post on Mid-YearResolutions.
