Let me put it simply for you. If you don’t know what is behavior pattern, today’s post will be about human behavior patterns because there are a lot of types. It’s how something reacts or acts toward something in a given situation. For example, an animal can have a specific behavior toward something in a situation. I’m not going to talk about other behaviors such as behavioral design patterns.
There are four types of behaviors that I think would be interesting for you to know. Something that will help you to do one of the things on the list below. Well, this information is based on a study that shows 90% of human behaviors can be classified as one of these types.
Types of behaviors
- Optimistic
- Pessimistic
- Trusting and
- Envious
As much as I want to explain each one to you guys. I can’t because it’s not the purpose of this post, you know. But if you are interested, you can search for them on Google. There are a lot of types and it can happen to more than one person. So, It would impossible for me to share and explain each one.
Changing your behaviors should have a reason. Because it’s important to do something that I will mention on the list as well. Whether it’s a negative behavior or it could have physiological change that is not good or you don’t like. Also, sometimes we have inappropriate behavior people we love don’t like it.
FYI
I’ve changed a lot of bad behaviors in my life before. And it’s something that I’m still doing to improve my life. And I assume there are a lot of people who notice the bad behavior and start working on changing it. It doesn’t happen overnight and you need to keep doing it until you change it.
Determine the moment of the behavior you want to change

Behaviors can have an emotional impact on you. And that is normal, but if you are looking for changing it. I highly recommend that the first step… Determining the moment of the behavior that you want to change. Maybe you already know that and you can move on to the next stages of changing the behavior patterns.
This is one of my favorite things to do and these tips are connected. It means, if you want to successfully change it, you will have to do them all at the same time. Maintain and keep doing them until you achieve the new behavioral patterns. Changing habits can be similar to this process, but also have different things to do.
What trigger you to behave like what do you is important. Because it could ruin your process of changing it. So, I would also recommend knowing all the triggers that would make you do the old behavior. Don’t allow anything in your way to ruin changing it.
Set up the plan for the new behavior and write it down

Next, it would be another very important step. And works also in changing a habit. Which would be setting up a plan to change your behavior. This way, it will be easy for you to know what to do. However, it’s not everything because I will mention an important thing anyone should do. Keep reading to know about it below.
Well, planning is one thing, but you will need to write down all the things including the stages. And the action you will do to change it.
Reasons why you need to write them down
- You will be able to remember no matter when
- Being able to adjust it to the best plan
- Knowing what you have in your plan when adding a new thing to it
It’s really helpful to write it down. See it in front of you to make sure that everything is on point. And it will help you to achieve the new change model of the behavioral patterns. One of the best steps how to change a behavior pattern. For me, this is something I love to do, and enjoy writing them down as well.
Practice being aware and present in each moment of your day
Ok, this is one of the important things you need to do. Being aware and present in the moments of your day. It has so many benefits that can help to make the process easier. One of them is determining the moment and trying to avoid it until you change your behavior. Which is something a lot of people might not notice.

Be grateful: the things that I’m grateful for in my life
We always run errands and do things in our life trying to do them quickly. If you take a relaxing break reflect on it. You will start noticing the rush in your day. Something we don’t need in our life if we want to change behaviors. Rushing, in general, is not healthy and you won’t enjoy your day. But it also hurts the process as well.
The best way to deal with this is to go slow and carefully. Try to be early when going to work, school, the gym, or anything you need to go to. Because it will be a point for you to start rushing. Being present is keeping your mind in the current moment and what is happening. This way, you will have control over it.
Improve your knowledge about behavior and habits
The next two would be things that you need to have and it can help as extra. But it is still very important because it can change it for the better and allow you to keep going until you achieve new behavior patterns. So, the first one would be improving your knowledge about it. Keep learning even if you have a lot of things about it.
You will never know what you will learn. Unless you already did this many times before. Then, you navigate through your thoughts and choose the best way. Remind yourself of all the things you learned. Which can help to change it. This is also good for changing a habit as well.
Q: How can I remember what I learn in the future?
A: Good question and the best way to remember is by writing them down. You can keep notes on how to do things. This way, it will be easy for you to remember. Take some time to memorize them as well.
Develop a strong determination to change

Another important step and one of the tips on how to change a behavior pattern. And I highly, recommend you work on this if you are serious about changing. Which would be developing a strong determination to change. It’s one of the things that I always focus on when it comes to changing it. Although it’s different with a strong determination, it becomes possible.
Q: How do I develop a strong determination?
- Have a solid reason, and why you want to change it
- Keep reminding yourself of the positive outcome
- Be clear with your goals and tasks for achieving the new pattern
Here are some of the ways that can help you. But please remember it’s not everything you need. So, you can find new ways that can be good for the situation you are in.
