HABITS HARNESSED- PREPARING YOURSELF USING CORE REASON THAT IS IMMEASURABLY MEANINGFUL! (PART 3)
“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Rohn
The CONDITIONING for life:
Also, by conditioning your responses (which you make automatically or without using much conscious thought), you can accomplish near miracles.
Just like in sports conditioning, which is about aerobic as well as anaerobic conditioning, you can build your stamina, your staying power, your resilience, your mental as well as physical reserves when you make it your duty to improve every day.
Even if you are not gifted or talented in some department or some area, you will more than compensate for it through sheer hard work by using strength of mind plus strength of heart.
Thus putting in the daily work (i.e. the daily practice) will make your work second nature since you have developed good habits by putting in the daily work. The daily practice will, eventually, allow you to master your work.
Building our HABIT SET:
Someone said: “repetition is the mother of all skills”. Practicing or repeating any action, whether positive or negative, becomes a part of your behavior. When that particular action is practiced or repeated for a long enough time, then you start to act that way automatically (or without thinking).
Despite the fact that a lot of habits we have learned, have been acquired by us without paying much attention (such as those developed through imitating our parents,
In the story "Outliers", Malcolm Gladwell uses a series of experiments and logical reasoning to clarify that practice determines the success of one's destiny. "In fact, by the age of twenty, the elite performers had each totaled ten thousand hours of practice. By contrast the merely good students had totaled eight thousand hours" (Gladwell 12). The experiment showed that the students that excelled had practiced a lot more than the merely good proving more practice determines success. In addition, the studies found from the experiment reveal that there were no "naturals" with the innate talent to be an elite performer.
The long-term behavioral goal that I wish to focus on for this assignment is to do physical exercise five-days a week. Regular physical exercise would help me maintain a healthy weight, reduce my risk of heart attack and stroke, improve my mood and well-being, and is an important factor for a long and healthy life.
The first technique that I practiced was time management. I have a busy schedule which involves a constant balance of attending classes, doing homework, going to work, doing church callings, and participating in extracurricular activities.
Some argue that the practice is only beneficial if it contains “super stable structures” or set rules. The argument is that practicing only benefits categories such as sports and music as the rules never change. I believe that any specific skill that a person wants to improve upon or master can be and has to be practiced, no matter what category of skill it may fall in. As long as an action is repeated consistently, it will become a habit. Another argument is that a person’s opportunities and chances are what defines a person’s success not their work ethic.
The Power Of Motivation
We do things for many reasons but the most common reason is motivation. Motivation is what prompts a person to act in a certain way, or at least develop an inclination for specific behavior. Motivation is not the part that is important it’s what the motivation is, such as love or fear.
To accomplish something is to achieve a goal, we accomplish more if we are always doing something. No matter if that something is as small as picking up a piece of trash off the ground. Thomas Jefferson said "Determine never to be idle... it is wonderful how much may get done if we are always doing. "
If you constantly focus your own time and energy into doing something, multiple things will come from that situation, giving you opportunity to accomplish more. Ultimately all these opportunities come from working hard and refusing to be inactive. Former President and also a founding father of our country, Thomas Jefferson once said, "Determine never to be idle... It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing."
A quote from Outliers says, “Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good.” This quote shows that to reach success you must put effort into what you do. It matters because putting effort into something makes it worth it. If you don't try and learn from the process you haven’t grown in experience, so you haven’t grown much at all.
Introduction
Learning enables you as an individual, to gain more knowledge about something which you have never learned about. Learning also has to do with past experiences which are influenced by behavioural changes (Weiten, 2016). There are different types of ways to learn; through, classical conditioning, operant conditioning and observational learning which will be discussed and analysed in the essay.
Behaviourism
Behaviourism is considered one of the main subjects in psychology and the two main people who founded behaviourism were, Burrhus Frederic Skinner, also known as B.F Skinner and Ivan Pavlov who were famous for the work they did on classical and operant conditioning (Moderato & Presti, 2006). According to Moderato and Presti
" Behaviour is learned from the environment through the process of observational learning."
The behaviour we observed is models. In social life, children encompassed with effective people like parents, siblings, friends, tv characters and teachers etc. They attract to certain people and encode the behaviour and later imitate the behaviour interest to them regardless whether it is appropriate or inappropriate for them.
Charles Duhigg, a New York Times reporter is also the author of “The Power of Habit”. This scientific yet easy to read book is a true exposure of the science of productivity, self-discipline and belief in our daily actions. It focuses on why habits exist and how individuals can change them. As a result, Charles explains each exploration in a short story that embodies his research and passion for the topic. In order to change a habit loop, Charles states that an individual must understand that habits exist, and believe that he/she is in control of changing it.
Daily challenges move us in the direction of huge success that may currently seem distant. When we are enthusiastic about finishing our goals every single day, we are slowly taking steps that are taking us to our larger idea of success. “I don’t run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run towards it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your foot.’’ -Nadia
INTRODUCTION
Have you ever thought on how people explain about behaviour? How do we know when learning process has occurred? Learning is permanent change that happened in the way of your behaviour acts, arises from experience one’s had gone through. This kind of learning and experience are beneficial for us to adapt with new environment or surrounding (Surbhi, 2018). The most simple form of learning is conditioning which is divided into two categories which are operant conditioning and classical conditioning.
The depth and complexity of the human drive is something that has been studied by scholars for a long time. What makes us do what we do? What makes people get up every morning? What makes people work through pain, through trials? Motivation, as defined by Webster, is “a force of influence that causes someone to do something”.
introduction
Motivation has been defined as some driving force within an individual by which they attempts to achieve some goal in order to fulfill some needs or expectations (Mullins, 1996). Beside Mullins, some scholar also define motivation as the psychological process that gives behavior purpose and direction (Kreitner, 1995) ; A predisposition to behave in a purposive manner to achieve specific unmet needs (Buford, Bedeian, and Linder, 1995); An internal drive to satisfy an unsatisfied need (Higgins, 1994); and the will to achieve (Bedeian, 1993); All those inner-striving conditions described as wishes, desires, drives, etc. (Donnelly, Gibson, and Ivancevich 1995); and the way urges, aspirations, drives and needs of human beings direct
