at  once.   Start   somewhere,  and try to  master  one thing   and get it

“in your    bones.” And after   that,   move    on  to  something   else.

Buddy   up. Here    are the support systems I’ve    got around  me  to

change  and embed   good    behaviour:  a   coach;  a   mastermind

group,  which   has weekly  check-ins   and bi-weekly   phone   calls;

another mastermind  group,  which   checks  in  every   three

months; and three   habit   apps    on  my  iPhone. And I   already

know    this    stuff.  Get a   friend  or  colleague   involved    and be  each

other’s check-in,   encouragement,  practice,   cheerleader buddy.

Get back    on  the horse.  The habit   will    slip.   It  won’t   always  work.

You’ll  feel    awkward as  you sit in  the place   of  learning    known   as

“conscious  incompetence”   (an accurate    if  slightly    insulting

phrase).    It’s    through deliberate  and regular practice    that    you’ll

move    to  “conscious  competence,”    which   is  a   much    more

pleasant    place   to  be.

One of the laws of change: As

soon as you try something new,

you’ll get resistance.
