Maybe you’ve been wondering, how do I change habits? There is an excessive focus on creating new good habits. But this focus and mindset belongs to the old world – that is why so many people fail in creating good new habits. In this article, I will challenge you on how to use your energy in the best way to achieve what you want.
Many believe that if they just set in on creating better habits, then their behavior will change and make the situation much better. That is simply not true. In modern work life, irregularity and unexpected changes are constant. Often the effect is you spending a lot of energy climbing a new habit, and at the same time slapping yourself because of your lack of persistence – the result doesn’t show.
For something to become a habit, it requires regularity and repetition. Most people I work with in my practice as an executive coach don’t have regularity in their everyday lives. On the contrary, there are a lot of changes. Furthermore, there are days where you work from one place and days where you work from another.
If you’ve decided that you should have a good new habit, then you should reconsider whether that’s actually the way you’re going to succeed. Instead, here are three things I would recommend you do:
At some point this will lead to a sustainable improvement and a changed habit. And not just a struggle holding on to a good new habit, in a changing everyday life.

Understanding people’s boundaries can be challenging for some leaders. This isn’t always because they’re selfish or indifferent—it’s often just difficult to know how to motivate, engage, create clarity, and respect others’ boundaries, especially when those boundaries differ from their own.

Marie’s journey through coaching was nothing short of remarkable. A high-achieving leader with a big heart and sharp skills, she found herself trapped in a tough and toxic situation. Yet, she didn’t just survive—she thrived. She triumphed. And now, with her permission, I’m sharing her story in hopes that others might find the strength to do the same.
As a leader, you will undoubtedly encounter employees with low self-esteem. Low self-esteem is like the leaky jar of the Danaids, a jar that is never filled—no matter how much you pour in. This results in people never feeling like they are enough. As a leader, it’s important to be aware if some of your employees have low self-esteem so you can lead them well and help them build more self-worth. It is possible to develop more self-esteem as an adult, and a boss can play a role in that. It benefits both the employee, the company, and the boss if the employee gains more self-esteem.
