I’m excited to share an interesting insight from psychology that can transform how we approach our financial goals and build financial resilience! 💰🎯
Recently, I came across the work of Dr. Peter Gollwitzer, a psychology professor known for his research on implementation intentions. His findings show that setting a specific trigger for our actions can make us far more likely to follow through on our goals.
Think of it as creating a “when-then” plan: “When X happens, then I will do Y.”
👉🏽 For example, if you want to save more, you might set a trigger like,:
“When I receive my paycheck, then I will transfer 10% into my savings account.”
👉🏽 Or if you’re aiming to reduce spending, perhaps something like,:
“When I go out to lunch, then I’ll choose a more affordable option and invest the difference.”
✨ START SMALL
This small tweak to our routines can make a HUGE difference in staying consistent!
It’s simple, but powerful in helping us form new habits and protect our goals, especially in an area as vital as financial wellness. 💪
Imagine how much we could achieve if we applied these “when-then” plans to every aspect of our finances! From saving to investing or managing expenses, these triggers can become our daily allies in building financial resilience.
💡QUICK IDEAS TO GET YOU STARTED
- Savings Goal: When you check your account each month, then move any extra funds into a high yield savings account.
- Budgeting: When you review your budget, then look for one small item to reduce.
- Investing: When you read financial news, then add to your investment education or review your portfolio.
