change your behavior in easy way …
Everybody wants to make some new changes at some point in life. New Year's Eve is the time we usually set new resolutions. Start exercising, learning a foreign language, 
or taking the sales career to a whole new level. We all want to change something in our lives. And most of us feel motivated and excited about the idea of setting these goals and expectations. Yet deep down we feel a little hesitation or some amount of uncertainty.
We set these expectations ... only to find ourselves back in the old rut a few weeks/ months later. And we wish the cavalry would come up to bail us out. We hesitate. We procrastinate. And what is procrastination? It is distancing ourselves from a task and a success.
Now comes the part when we come up with all kinds of excuses because we feel the need to reason our procrastination somehow.
This is the one trait that bright unsuccessful people have. Because you can't be stupid and procrastinate for long because you can't come up with believable excuses. The brighter you are the more you can carry this thing on for years.
And every one of your procrastination will have an element of truth in it of why you couldn't do it that day. That's because you are smart. And whatever you decide to do – see more customers or make excuses - you are going to become better at it whatever you spend your time at.
Procrastination does not mean that you decide not to do something. It means you decide to do it and then not to do it.
Hesitation and procrastination are disastrous to you. Here is what happens:
Your goal gets put on hold, which means your success gets to put a hold.
It gets added to all the other unfinished tasks in your life which causes you more stress. Which is what you really need, right?
You reinforce inaction as a character trait. You get to expect this kind of behavior from yourself in the future.
You learn not to trust the promises you make to yourself.
You chickened out. You admitted to yourself that you are incapable to solve your own problems. And this is devastating self-appraisal.
What makes it so hard to follow up and follow through with your expectations? Well, it's all about your emotions. It's about how you feel about your goals and yourself. Somewhere in our life we learned and decided to procrastinate in certain areas of our life.
Who cares when, how, and where. We need a way out of this wishes cycle. Years ago I came across an "8-minute rule". A concept or an idea on how to stop procrastination and make it easier to transition into a new behavior or habit.
When you set a new goal jogging for instance it is easy to follow through when you feel motivated and excited.
But not every day is a holiday. There are days you don't feel like jogging because you might be tired or you are just lazy.
That's when the "8-minute rule" kicks in. You dress up, go outside and you want to jog for at least 8 minutes. That may not seem much but the point here is to create a new habit and make it stick. Chances are that once outside you will continue and finish up your usual time or distance.
Now there might be times when you will jog for only those 8 minutes because you are tired or lazy. Or you might have other responsibilities to take care of. And that's o.k.
The idea here is to create a new habit as easily as possible. You also train yourself to be disciplined and more resilient. And that's a good thing.
Here is a little trick that will make the "8-minute rule" even more appealing. Let's say your goal is to go jogging 5 days a week and this week you have reached your target.
Now it's time to reward yourself. Obviously, I don't encourage you to hit your credit card and buy a brand-new car. No. But you deserve a small treat and you want to reward yourself with something small. You might go out for a good dinner or buy something nice.
You reward yourself even when you didn't reach your target. You have jogged only for 8 minutes and 3 times this week for whatever reason but you have made every effort to reach your target.
And that's what counts. Not only reaching a goal. Making an effort to do so is a good enough reason for reward as well.
Going through this step is incredibly important. Because what you are trying to do is create a new loop in your brain that leads to perceiving the new task as a possible gain rather than one of certain pain.
So whenever you are struggling to stick to a new habit you can employ this rule. The "8-minute rule" is an elegant yet simple way to make a new habit or change easier.
