According to Wikipedia habits are defined as a routine of behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously.
We all have habits or rituals we repeat daily, some good and some not so much and its the latter we want to change.
There is research that says it takes 21 days to form new habits, so it’s not going to happen overnight. Whenever, I want to break a bad habit or habits and implement a new one, I first start with my mindset. Secondly, I then have a mental plan on how overcome any road blocks that may occur and how to successfully deal with them. I have discovered over time, that it is best to be patient with myself and to focus on only changing one habit at a time. It all starts with making the decision to change.
love this – habits! I find I’m better at creating a new habit than stopping a “bad” habit, so I work to fill my life with ever newer habits. Then, my life is filled with all the new habits I’m doing and I don’t have time for the crappy ones any more, (except that darned chocolate) lol.
Love “filling life with newer habits”. 🙂
