Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement.
– James Clear
“Atomic Habits” has become one of the most popular book in self-help genre. And after reading it, I found it very practical to implement in our daily life and the examples given by James on Psychological aspects are incredible. He has given a detail breakdown of slowly shaping your lifestyle and making minor changes on daily basis and change your habits to achieve excellence.
James has also mentioned many real life examples of many athletes, entrepreneurs, artists and other successful people who managed to change their lives by making very small changes in their habits on a daily basis. He has also mentioned that when we try to change our bad habits and fail to do so, it is not our fault, we fail because of the system we are molded into from our childhood. It is our lower self-esteem which takes over our mind and our brain starts repeating in our head that, “It’s not gonna happen for you.”
Human behavior changes every day with situation and circumstances but what doesn’t change is human nature and his/her believes. And in this book James has explained how we can change that to achieve our desired goals by changing our inbuild behavior.
Even when you are trying to adapt a good habit, it is very much obvious and normal to fail in it to implement it in your daily routine. But with slow and small approach it can be achieved. If you will think that, from tomorrow I want to wake up at 5 am instead of 8 am. It’s not gonna happen, you will definitely fail on the second day or the third day. But instead, if you try waking up at 7:45 am for a week and then 7:30 am for the next week, your body will automatically start adapting to the change and you will feel more confident about yourself. He has mentioned that by making 1% change every day can give you massive result on a longer period. He calls it 1% rule.
There are many more theories mentioned in the book, to know more about it do read it and you will not regret it for sure.

Thoughts With Ink 
I have to stick with the habits as long as they are good
– Otherwise I would only see the tips in front of me and run after success
It is my fault if, for the better, I do not come to an understanding myself
I do not need grossesn self-esteem, otherwise I überbordert the “I come first”
Yes, we are nature, in nature and she wants to preserve life
Our behavior is based on the laws of nature; the that
The will and the corresponding abilities are a virtue,
or maybe not
I don’t have a goal, I work and that’s enough
My dream wakes me up when I think that I want to sleep
I am half a percent master in my own home
A child is so unspoiled
it cannot be deceived by eternal progress for the time being
