Take time to examine your bad/unhealthy habits you would like to change. This exercise is about honestly and self-awareness. It is about whether you are ready to face the challenge from the inside out by taking an honest look at yourself. Here goes your task:īe honest with yourself and brainstorm all the bad habits that you think you have that prevent you from reaching your goal. Let's say: weight loss. Put as many of those bad habits you think you have that have led you to become overweight. Be specific in trying to address the habits you would like to transform, improve or get rid of and why.

If some of those habits include your eating habits, you will need to work on breaking them down mindfully and replacing with new ones one step at a time. There is really no short cuts to forming new habits.Įxperts say that for a new habit to be fully integrated, 60-90 days must pass. This is why, during this time, you will need to be truly mindful of what you do, so you do not fall back to your old habits that negatively impact your health and your life. There is actually a part of our brain that is responsible for habit formation and addictions. Take time to examine the patterns that have shaped you in a negative way, so you can understand where they come from better, and what you will need to do to replace them with positive ones. Understand that this will not happen overnight. So, how can you be successful in changing your old habits? Others are a part of your own doing. Bottom line is that the habits you formed as a child would live on with you forever if it were not for the fact that you have decided to change them. Some of those habits you might have picked up from your family or other people you surrounded yourself with. They are simply a part of who you are. Some of those habits might have been even with you ever since you were a child and you subconsciously absorbed them from your surroundings without knowing any better. Slow down!Īcting on an impulse is what have gotten many people out of shape or in trouble in the first place. It probably took you years to develop habits that are now a part of you and your subconscious. “Old habits die hard” – yet most people want to make drastic changes in their lives fast.
