Change Habits
What emotional habits do you have? Maybe you’re taking rushed decisions, or quit when a problem arises, overeating, you may be a workaholic, can’t control your attitude… A habit is a simple form of learning. Habits are acquired through repetition. After a habit is learned goes into your subconscious mind, you’ll keep on doing it on autopilot whenever the emotional trigger happens.
If you want to change an emotional habit, building resilience is the start. You can replace a bad habit in the same way you created it – through REPETITION. This is how we humans learn, gain experience, change.
“Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.” – James Clear, Atomic Habits When you start this journey you have to commit 100% until you change the habit. The beginning might be challenging, but the more you keep on going further the better the results. Test your limits, overcome them. Enjoy your journey, celebrate your victory. Allow yourself to be wrong while you’re heading towards that victory. Your end goal is to break the bad habit, how you get there makes it interesting and creates your own system to achieve that goal. Braking a bad habit is easy when you create the right system.
To get started create a list of your habits and their results, become mindful of your behaviour, stop for a second when the habit is about to happen and be curious, replace it. Repeat. For example, if you receive a text message while driving your impulse might be to text back instantly. Stop for a second, breathe, and put the phone back. Repeat every time you catch this habit. You can achieve results faster through the process of manifestation, by creating new assumptions about the habit you want to change. If we follow the driving example, you can assume: “I always reply to my text messages when I’m parked.”
Your thoughts create your behaviour and therefore its consequences – your reality. Keep your thoughts in check and manifest breaking free from bad behaviour.
