This phrase has been repeating itself in my mind for the past 2 days. Yes, it is true. Your habits are here to stay, UNLESS:
You decide you don’t want them to stay. Yes, once again it is all about personal responsibility. In fact the very first key to all personal development is to accept personal responsibility.
You cannot change something that you do not own right?
This brings us to the next point:
You decide you WANT to (and WILL) change these habits you don’t like.
But wait, have we not already made this point?
No. Why?
It is one thing to decide you don’t like a habit in your life. It is another thing to decide you WANT to and WILL change it.
How many times have you and I put up with things in our lives that we don’t like? Right!
So it is not enough to decide you don’t like a habit. You need to move further and actually make up your mind that you WILL change it.
WHEN?
Ok, so when are you going to start changing this habit? NOW is the best time to start! (In other words strike while the iron is hot 
HOW?
The very best way change any bad habit is to replace it with a good one. This keeps your focus on the good habit you are forming, not on the bad one you are leaving behind.
Warning:
This IS going to take work, time and patience. The bad habit was not formed over night. The new one will not be formed instantly either.
It will take daily ACTION with:
- Determination.
- Discipline.
- Diligence.
There is a prize! What is the prize? A changed life with new habits!
- Keep your eye on the prize and you will be able to do it!
- Keep your mind on the benefits that your new habits will bring to your life (better health, better production, clearer mind etc).
Visualize what your life will be like with these new habits every day, as you work towards forming them.
Before you know it you will be enjoying life with some brand new habits!
