V dictionary form / V ない-form + ない + ように します (V-jisho / V-nai + you ni shimasu) — I make an effort to (not) ~
Something you decide yourself — the "from now on I will do this" pattern.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
This pattern is about your own effort. Adding 「ようにします」to the dictionary form means "I will try to ~"; adding it to the ない-form means "I will try not to ~": 毎日 歩くように します / 甘い ものを 食べないように します. The difference to watch is this — **「ようにします」is a decision from now on, while 「ようにしています」is a habit you have already kept up**. If someone asks how you keep healthy, 毎朝 野菜を 食べるように して います is the right answer, because you really are doing it. Do not mix this up with 「ように なります」from the last point: with なります the change happens on its own, with します you are the one making the effort.

Question: 1/3Which one says a habit you have already kept up?
💡 Hint: 「して います」marks something already ongoing.
歩くように します = I will start trying to walk. 歩くように して います = I have been walking as a habit.
Which says "I will try not to be late"?
💡 Hint: Before ように the ない-form stays as it is.
遅れない + ように + します. You do not change it to なく here — that happens only with なく なります.
Which one says "I became able to read kanji" (the change just happened)?
💡 Hint: Use なります when the change happened by itself, します when it is your own effort.
読める + ように + なりました = I became able to read — the change happened by itself. します shows your own effort: 毎日 漢字を 読むように して います = I make a point of reading every day. 「漢字を 読むように なりました」means "I came to read kanji", not "I became able to".
