Recently I thought about decisions in general, and how I usually need motivation. But I think I actually need a positive state of mind, then I must make the decision and just stick to it. And so far, this works.
It boils down to commodity and courage. In order to achieve the positive state of mind, I must get out of my comfort zone, and not fear changes. Fear, or lack of courage, is what stops a person from doing a change to their life style. Once the idea that there's nothing to lose is understood, one can make decision freely, clear headed.
Motivation depletes itself if it's too often used, so to produce ground-breaking changes, the new idea must be introduced inside the "I," which in average takes around 21 days, or 3 weeks. The core values of a person, are valued and guarded, this making them harder to be subjected to change. At the same time, this is an advantage, because if you introduce a value as being a core value, it's a part of the "I," thus making it easier to incorporate into a lifestyle.
