Butterfly Wings, Five Minutes...And A New Habit


Let's face it - we're creatures of habit.

Who we are and what we do is entirely dependent on those little habits that consume our days.

Like...

- how we sleep at night
- what TV we watch
- what clothes we prefer
- who our friends are
- how we travel to work

And many more other things that people forget are really habits as they just form part of their everyday activities.

Yet - take yourself out of a particular routine that you have got used to...and something doesn't seem quite right.

It's the same whether we are trying to create a new GOOD habit...or trying to unwind ourselves from a BAD one.

You may have heard that some people say that a butterfly flapping its wings in South America has an impact on the weather patterns on the other side of the Atlantic.

All part of the supposed connectedness of nature to the Earth and how it works.

Well...I firmly believe that YOUR habits are like those butterfly wings.

One little change can have a HUGE effect on your future.

Don't believe me?

Well...what if you changed your habit of getting up at 7a.m. to getting up at 6:30a.m.?

What could you accomplish in those extra 30 minutes? How about if it was only 15 minutes? Or 5 minutes?

What if you decided that you would read 5 pages of a personal development book in that extra five minutes?

You could read an EXTRA 150-page book EVERY month - just by waking up 5 minutes earlier.

That's 12 EXTRA books every year. Just from 5 minutes a day.

Of course...you don't have to read 5 pages of a book.

You could speak affirmations
...or go for a jog to the end of the road and back
...or get into work 5 minutes earlier
...or spend 5 minutes reading with your child
...or write your task list for the day

Get the idea?

Just one little change and five minutes CAN have a big effect on your life - just by the cumulative effect of those five minutes day after day.

So...what daily habit could YOU get into for just five minutes?
