Crawling to the top: a proven, reasonable and non-sexual way to become successful

personal finance research has revealed widespread phenomenon, which is called Lifestyle Creep, which means very slow to a snail's pace, improved lifestyle. As incomes rise, we tend to buy things that look better, last longer and perform better.

For example, you have been promoted and will now make a few thousand a month more. Instead, to save money and continue to live as usual, you are buying a large TV, go to an expensive resort or go to the store of designer clothes.

Quality of life popolzot up, and the goods that were previously perceived as a luxury, will become a necessity.

Changing human behavior is considered one of the most difficult problems to be solved in business and in life. Nevertheless, the phenomenon of slow rising standards of living It shows the working method of changing behavior in the long term.

But what happens if we apply the concept to other areas of life?

Change the picture of normal

Let's list the popular financial goals.

• I want to buy designer jeans.
• I want to move to the big house.
• I want to manage a fast machine.

And what is interesting - these big goals are reached as soon as we appear means to achieve them. When our purchasing power is growing, and increasing the value of the purchased. So pumped standard of living.

And if the same side effects will emerge in other areas of life? Compare goals:

• Willing to dial 5 kg of lean body mass.
• I want to find partner and start a family.
• I want to earn a total of six nines.
• I want to get the highest score on the exam.
• I want to establish a successful business.

Try to accept a set of mass or good grades as a side effect of improving the daily life.

In other words, as soon as we improve our habits, and improve our results.

The idea that unattainable skills are becoming the norm, can be called pumping habits.

Apply it in practice

If you buy more than can withstand your bank account, your standard of living is not creeping up, you just go into debt. And if you take a bunch of solutions that you can not stick to, you do not pump over their habits.

You need to get around the trap of wanting to change everything at once. Lifestyle change is so slow that it is almost imperceptible. Changing habits must take place in the same way. We need to change the behavior of caterpillars speed.

There are two basic ways to change habits and to improve the results in the long term.

1. increase productivity little by little every day (most of it seems too complicated).
2. Change the environment in such a way as to remove small stimuli and distractions (many do not even think).

Increase productivity

You lead a normal life. The current level reflects your fitness, usually how much you move. Suppose you make 8000 steps a day. If you want to improve the format in accordance with the standard approach to change, you will begin to prepare for the race and start the exercises. But the concept of "Crawling to the heights of" you need to add a very small amount to the new standard. For example, walk 8100 steps. Tomorrow - 8200.

This logic can be applied to any area of ​​life. You conclude the usual amount of contracts for work, reading the usual amount books per month. If you want to become more successful, wiser, more savvy, you can use the method of crawler and get results by simply changing the order of the day.

changing environment

We are surrounded by a lot of things, and they define the environment in which we live. We take a cookie, because it lay on the table. Take in hands a smartphone because it's a message. We turn on the TV, because it is the first thing that comes into view when we sit down on the sofa.

If you change the setting in the details (hide the cookies in the pantry, and the TV - in cupboard, place the phone in another room while you work), it will change and your actions.

Imagine that every week in your life something change for the better. And what will be your life at the end of the year?

Change your day

Achievements that you are proud of in the best of days - it's a reflection of how your every day passes.

All go crazy, just one day suddenly achieve a result: to get a better estimate, sold the most in the division, win the race. Throw away these ideas out of my head.

Just do your normal day is better, and the results will appear by themselves. We really bring long-term changes in your life, slowly and quietly correcting routine habits and templates.
