How to Identify Your Hidden Habits
There are a wide range of possible hidden habits. To self-identify, you need to direct your attention and zoom in.For example, to see what types of hidden habits you can reveal, try answering the following questions:
Physical Habits:
How do you walk?
Do you tend to slouch or sit/stand straight?
How much water do you drink each day?
Social Habits:
Do you make or avoid eye contact with people?
Are there actions or gestures you tend to use a lot?
What phrases or words do you tend to say a lot?
Energy Habits:
What patterns do you follow each night right before bed?
What’s your morning wake up routine each day?
How often and when do you snack during the day?
Mental Habits (your automatic thought processes):
What’s your first gut response when you receive criticism?
What feeling do you get when you see a friend sharing a luxury vacation on Facebook?
How do you react to a negative news story?
Productivity Habits:
Do you prioritize a set of tasks before starting, or just dive in?
How do you judge if a task is more important than another?
How often do you check your phone every hour for new notifications? Or email?
If you don’t mind, you can even ask your partner, family member or close friends the same questions about yourself. They may just point out certain things about you that you never realized!
