A keystone refers to a central stone at the summit of an arch, locking the whole together. If you are like me, you probably look at your daily life and think something like:
...I should exercise more...
...I should eat more vegetables...
...I should journal every day...
...I should _______________(fill in the blank)...
The funny thing is that all you really need to do is pick one thing, commit to it and just do it. Let's say you want to exercise more. So tomorrow take a ten minute walk and then do it again the next day and so forth. Before you know it, walking is the first keystone habit you have set. After repeated success, you will find that adding another goal will be easy.
Lot's of folks say that if you just had more "willpower" you could make your first million, lose weight, write your first book, etc. Success has nothing to do with willpower, it has everything to do with confidence in yourself. Believing in YOU begins with small victories and the fastest path is through mastering just one keystone habit.
Kick "willpower" out of the equation and decide that you are going to do whatever it is that you want your keystone habit to be. Removing the "choice" leaves no room for debate. These two doggies know that they are going to be walked around the neighborhood...even in the rain... every day. It is a keystone habit at our house! (Trust me they will bark their heads off until I get my tennis shoes on and take them out).
Maybe you are trying to break a "bad" habit and replace it with a keystone one. Have a planned response ready to go when you get a craving to indulge. Knowing how you are going to react to temptation takes all the willpower out of your choice because you have already decided what you are going to do. I can hardly wait to hear what new things you are going to add to your daily life!
