Hi! I just want to share with you what I read from Bo. Sanchez practical soul food for successful people the Article is about How to Quit Bad Habits and how you can change it, hope this step will help you also to change your Bad Habit....
Excerpts from Bo. Sanchez.ph......
Specifically, I want to help you get rid of BAD HABITS from
your life.
Perhaps you want to get rid of smoking.
Or you want to quit eating unhealthy food.
Or you want to remove the habit of complaining.
Or you want to wake up earlier each day to exercise.
Or you want to get rid of porn.
Or you want to remove various silly “compulsions” that are
destroying your peace of mind.
It’s All About Patterns
Haven’t you noticed?
Some people are always making money, while some people are
always broke.
Some people are always on time, while some people are always late.
Some people always create happiness wherever they go, while some people create conflict wherever they go.
Some people always achieve their dreams, while some people never achieve their dreams.
Why?
It’s HABITS.
Success and failure aren’t actions. They’re habits.
Here are 6 preliminary Steps to change a habit…
Step 1: Select One Habit To Change
Don’t try to change 19 things in your life.
Because it’s the simple things that will cause a massive difference in your life.
Perhaps you want to eat more vegetables.
Or you want to spend more time with your kids.
Or you want to remove pornography from your life.
I repeat: Pick one habit to change!
2. Aim For 21 Days
You’ve got to do this new habit for 21 days.
Because that’s what it takes to learn a new habit. According to psychologists, it takes 21 days to create a new pattern in your life. It takes 21 days to create a mental pathway in your brain, so that it becomes easier for you to do it.
3. Do It Daily
Developing a new habit requires that you do it daily.
Not 3 or 4 times a week. This is crucial. If it’s an activity that can’t be done daily, then try to choose an “alternate” activity that you can do at the same time.
For example, if you hit the gym every 5pm to 6pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays—why not take a walk at that same time on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday? That way, it’s still a daily experience.
4. Schedule It
Don’t just say, “I’m going to walk daily.”
Say instead, “I’m going to walk at 6AM daily.” That’ll be more powerful.
Don’t just say, “I’m going to make 20 sales calls a day.”
Say instead, “I’m going to make 20 sales calls a day from 10am to 12noon.”
Doing this little tweak will quadruple your chances of sticking to the habit.
5. Replace It
Empty space doesn’t remain empty for long.
If you remove a bad habit, there’ll be an empty space in your life. If you don’t fill that empty space, the bad habit will come back.
So don’t just try quitting a bad habit. Be sure to replace it with a good habit.
For example, if you want to quit watching too much telenovelas, what will you do during those three hours in the evening? Read a book? Learn a musical instrument? Start a business?
6. Study It
Study about the new habit you want to acquire.
Let’s say you want to be more grateful in the next 21 days. Then Google about gratitude. Read articles about it. Look for books on the topic. Talk to friends about the power of gratitude.
And finally…
7. Find Support
Surround yourself with people who already are doing your new habit.
If you want to exercise daily, get your friend or spouse who will do it with you. If you can afford it, get a Physical Trainer.
My friend used to smoke 3 packs a day. Her addiction was so bad, she’d wake up at 3AM just to smoke two sticks—and then she’ll fall back to sleep. Talk about an addiction!
But one day, she really felt it was time cut the habit. She told me. She told her best friends. She told her Caring Group. (That’s what we call our small groups at the Feast, our spiritual gathering.) And we prayed for her.
I’m happy to tell you that after five long years, my friend is still “smokeless”!
Friend, go ahead.
It’s your turn to make revolutionary changes in your life.
