As I have touched on elsewhere, I am interested in self improvement generally – not just building great self confidence. But I have always had a big problem with self improvement products. Basically most are books, which follow the conventional format of a text book.

The problem with a book, or even an audio product, is people read (or listen) – but don’t act! Self improvement is about making changes. And a big part of that is changing habits…

“The second half of a mans life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half.” Dostoevsky

In compiling this blog I do genuinely want people to be able to be able to put some of these ideas into practice and make changes. But I remain concerned that even in a more dynamic format than a book, it remains easy to read and pass on – rather than act.

I have my own ideas about how to make change happen in our lives, which I will feature in future blogs. But having come across a blogging feature called a “meme” for the first time this week, I will use this to try and stimulate some discussion and ideas.

The meme theme is “if you wanted to improve your life by changing a habit – how would you set about it?”

I will tag a few people who blogs I admire and find useful to kick things off -but please add your own comments
