We all have habits. Some are good and some, well, not so much. Our life is a product of the small decisions and actions we take every day. Our happiness, success, and even health are all a summary of the decisions we make daily. We carve time for each habit and yet we often only focus on the negative ones.
Today, I encourage you to take one negative habit, take a minute and pick just one. Now, imagine life without it. What does that picture look like? Is your life truly better without it? If so, how would your life improve? Would you encounter new experiences? Would you advance in life? Would you be happier or have more money? If your answer is yes to all of those questions then it’s time to find a way to kick that habit. Time to make a change! But if your answer was maybe or no, then stop beating yourself up about it. We tend to focus on our flaws and our negatives, assuming life would be better if we changed those things when in reality, life would most likely continue as is. It’s not our habits that control our outcome but our mindset. If our mindset is just not ready to shift, then nothing else in life will.
Please know that in this context, I am not addressing addictions of illegal behaviors, please seek help for those.
