In our daily lives and work, there is often a situation where, although we know a lot of knowledge and methods, when it comes to putting it into action, we find it difficult to take that step. Why is that? The answer may be simpler than you think – we lack the little habit of turning "knowing" into "doing".
Many times, we stay in the "knowing" stage because we are faced with a goal that is so big that we don't know where to start. The solution to this problem is very simple: break down a big goal into a number of small goals, each of which should be specific and achievable in a short period of time. In this way, every time we accomplish a small goal, we immediately feel a sense of accomplishment, which inspires us to keep going.
Another small habit that turns "knowing" into "doing" is to set up a daily feedback mechanism. This means taking a moment at some point in the day to review whether your actions are aligned with your goals and if there are any adjustments that need to be made. This feedback can be given to yourself or by finding a trusted friend or mentor to help you. The key is that through continuous feedback, you will be able to maintain a clear understanding of your actions and adjust your direction in a timely manner.
The human brain has an innate tendency to focus on negative information. This may have been a survival mechanism in prehistoric times, but today, this tendency is often an obstacle to our actions. Therefore, cultivating positive self-talk becomes another important little habit. Whenever you find yourself having negative thoughts, try to replace them with a more positive, constructive one. After doing this for a long time, you will find that your attitude towards challenges has changed radically.
It doesn't take much time and effort to incorporate these little habits into our daily lives, but they can make a huge difference. When we move from "knowing" to "doing", we are not only completing a specific task, but also gradually shaping a more active and confident self. So, starting today, let's work together to make these little habits into our daily routine!
