\u201cIf you believe you can change <\/em>\u2014 if you make it a habit <\/em>\u2014 the change becomes real.\u201d<\/em> \u2015 Charles Duhigg<\/em> <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this: what would your life look like if you actually did the things you believe you ought to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research shows that approximately 40-45% of what we do every day isn\u2019t a result of deliberate decisions but rather out of habit. Habits affect performance more than talent, intelligence or luck, but it can be a challenge to control our habits to get the outcomes we want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you acquired new or different habits throughout all the changes brought on by COVID-19? As we navigate the next phase of our professional and personal lives, University of Southern California research psychologist, Wendy Wood, explains, \u201cWe\u2019re going to be faced with two sets of habits: pre-pandemic and during the pandemic. And we\u2019ll have to choose which to repeat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As daunting as that might sound, you\u2019re now in a perfect position to decide which habits you want to maintain going forward and any new habits you want to form. MSU HR\u2019s Organization and Professional Development (OPD) department\u2019s workshop, The Power of Habit<\/em>, can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
