30 Days TRIAL

Recently I came across a very interesting idea which is called 30 Days to Success. How it works is that let's say you want to start a new habit, for example, jogging for at least 3 times a week. You think of this as a temporary activity. You do it for a 30-day trial. After 30 days you will not need to continue this anymore.

I think it is a nature of human that whenever we need to change our daily habits, it seems very hard for us to make a start. We will feel overwhelmed when we think that we need to continue to do this for the rest of our life. We get fed up and never make a start. But if we think of this as only a temporary change, then it will become not that difficult for us. Anyway, after 30 days we will be able to go back to our normal daily life.

So what happens is after 30-days of trial, it will become a habit to us and it will be easier for us to continue to maintain the habit. This is a powerful way to improve our life.
