A Habit is an action or series of actions that we perform in a Subconscious manner. We don’t have to consciously think about doing these things, they seem to happen on their own. Habits can be good or bad. Good habits serve us and bad habits cause us untold sufferings. Cultivating good habits is difficult, but it is more difficult to maintain bad habits. We all have a mix of good and bad habits. Most of us would admit to having some habits; that we wish, we didn’t have. Ask yourself honestly. Are your habits helping or hindering you? What habits could you adopt today that could have a positive impact on your future?
Remember!
“We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.” Life is not pausing for you while you are putting up with some habits that you dislike. Life is passing you by while you waste it doing the wrong thing. There’s no rewind button, there’s only now, and if you’re not happy with your now, change it. Acquiring new habits begin with a decision and a commitment. Change is difficult. Old habits can be very hard to break or change. Do not give up. It is important to have patience with yourself as you work on changing your habits. Some strong bad habits may take years to break. Research has shown that an action that is repeated, for a minimum of 21 days is likely to become a permanent habit. This means you must perform your new actions repeatedly, day after day, before your subconscious mind will begin to do them automatically. Until then it takes consistent effort and focus.
