Action without vision just passes the time.

Vision with action can change the world.

Part 7

Read our blog post on ‘Creating Positive Habits’, and the steps to creating a positive habit that will actually work.

Creating a habit is about making significant changes to our behaviours, but it doesn’t have to feel like a huge shift all at once. Focus on changing just one small behaviour which you know, or you think, will have a positive knock-on effect.

Find your positive trigger – choose 1 thing that you will do every day (preferably at the start of the day) which will result in positive behaviour change throughout the day. Once you’ve identified your positive trigger, or decide which one you’re going to try out first, decide to turn it into a habit.
