Can wearing a bracelet really generate that much change?
Have you ever wondered about the power of one single purchase? It may seem insignificant, but the truth is it can make a massive impact on your life and even the world.
It's not just about convincing you to buy a trendy bracelet but understanding the science behind the psychology of habits.
By making small changes in your daily routine, you can create positive habits that can change your life and the world. Let's dive into the fascinating topic of how a single purchase can lead to a domino effect of positive change.
How to build sustainable habits
If you’re a self-help guru like us, you’ll probably have heard of James Clear’s ‘Atomic Habits’.
Atomic Habits is a fantastic guide on how to build good habits and learn to break bad ones. He addresses relationships, health, lifestyle, and many other factors that make up our everyday life.
It’s all about getting 1% better every day.
That’s what we’re all about here at Ecoalition. Look, you’re not going to stop using single-use plastic, switch to a reusable water bottle, stop driving, stop wearing clothes, move to the middle of a field, buy a small shed, have somebody riding a bike to generate electricity constantly, live off the food they grow and never eat a burger again- at least not all in one day.
But you can learn how to break one bad habit and form a new amazing one at the same time.
And that is where the magic really happens.
But how can you, as one person, make an actual difference?
Are you the type of person who wants to make a real difference in the world but may need help knowing where to start? Perhaps you have a deep feeling that there must be something you can do, but you have yet to quite figure out what that is.
It's easy to feel overwhelmed when we think about the vast problems facing our world. Climate change, poverty, inequality, and political instability can all feel overwhelming.
Remember, every big idea, movement, or change started with one person who dared to believe that they could make a difference. So feel free to take that first step and see where it leads you. Who knows, you might be the spark that ignites a movement and changes the world.
But before you can do that, you need to have some solid foundations in place- and that all starts with setting up incredible habits.
Take it from these guys
Stephen King: According to interviews, King habitually keeps his workspace arranged the same way every day. He keeps his papers organised the same way and listens to the same music. He sits down to work around the same time every day, in the same chair, with a glass of water by his side.
For King, these routines are essential to his writing process. By creating a consistent environment for himself, he can train his mind to enter into a focused, creative state whenever he sits down to work. And as any writer knows, getting into that creative flow state is crucial for producing quality work.
Albert Einstein: Einstein enjoyed going for long walks on the beach or staring at the ceiling during his workweek to listen to his mind. In fact, he believed that spending time in solitude was essential to his creativity and productivity.
In today's world, we are constantly bombarded with stimuli - from social media notifications to endless work emails. Finding a moment of peace and quiet to truly focus on our thoughts can be challenging. However, taking time for ourselves is crucial for our mental health and wellbeing.
Grace Beverly: If you're struggling to manage your time effectively, take a leaf out of Grace Beverly's book. The entrepreneur and influencer swears by time blocking to help her stay on top of her busy schedule.
So, what exactly is time blocking? It involves breaking your day into chunks of time and assigning specific tasks to each block. Doing this ensures you're making the most of every minute and prioritizing the most critical tasks.
For Grace, the key to successful time blocking is starting her day with a clear plan. This helps her stay focused, avoid distractions, and ensure she doesn't overlook any essential tasks.
Taking it back to your Ecoalition bracelet
Once you’ve selected the bracelet you love, you get a tree planted in your name in the Brazilian rainforest- which is pretty impressive if you ask us.
Just imagine a gorgeous family of exotic parrots living in a tree named after you.
But that’s not where the most impact happens.
Wearing your bracelet is a daily reminder to see what small habits you can form and break.
For example, buy yourself a new water bottle and a silicone ice tray to stay hydrated while staying away from single-use plastic.
Or take a weekly trip to your local farmers market to shop for fresh produce. Or even thinking about different ways to conserve your energy usage.
But the best part is when people ask about your bracelet.
So, when that happens, we have an answer ready for you to use.
"It’s an Ecoalition bracelet. I’m trying to form better habits to do my part for the planet. So far, it has been tiny changes, but just having it there is a reminder that these small changes all add up."
It’s good, right? No pressure, no babbling. A clear answer on the impact you’re trying to make. It also spreads the word in a way that can inspire others to do the same. By taking a moment to think before you act, you can create a lasting impact on our planet and, in turn, the people.
