Don't wait and start. Because starting to act is the beginning of all change.

Time to Curl the Habits, People Don't Hate Yourself Edition - Key Ideas

Books do not invite us to "change ourselves because we are not good enough," but to understand ourselves and gradually adjust habits that impede life.

1. Stop blaming yourself first

If we have bad habits, don't rush to the conclusion that "we are bad," distinguish between ourselves and our behavior because behavior can change.

2. Find out what is the trigger

Try asking yourself

"Before I do this behavior, what happened?"

Such as stress → playing the phone → wasting time → feeling guilty.

When we see the cycle, we start to know where to solve it.

3. Don't aim so big that you fail.

Instead of saying, "Go on, don't procrastinate again."

"It will only be 10 minutes of important work today."

Small goals make it easy to start, and small achievements help create new habits.

4. Change the environment, not just patience.

If something distracts us easily, reduce the stimulus, such as putting the phone far away while working, rather than hoping to "stop it."

5. Can miss but don't miss and quit

Going back to the old habits doesn't mean everything is wasted.

"What did I learn this time?"

6. Appreciate small progress

Don't wait for yourself to change into a whole new person before being proud of yourself. Because change is really caused by the small things we repeat every day.

🌱 If you apply it, try the four steps.

Observe → understand → change bit by bit → repeat

No need to ask that.

❌ "Why am I such a person?"

Try turning it into

✅ "How can I help myself to be a better person without hating myself?"

The core of the book in one sentence:

We don't have to hate ourselves to change ourselves, just understand ourselves more and change little by little is enough. ❤️
