People who keep growing realize they have to change some habits. Many of our habits make life easier while we may have others that get in our way of getting what we want for ourselves. It is our habits that keep us repeating life in the same way. In order to make changes we have to be willing to move out of our comfort zone. If we do not do that we tend to limit our self-growth.
A skill to remember is to strengthen habits rather than eliminate habits. For instance, if you want to lose weight strengthen your health habit. By re-framing your goal to: “I want to be healthy” you take a positive approach. Now you can put your energy into strengthening you habits of eating, exercise, and relationships among others. If, instead, you focused on what you shouldn’t eat you would soon feel discouraged and deprived.
There is a common saying claiming that it takes 21 days to change a habit. It is a good guideline to keep in mind as you practice strengthening habits that you know will help you have success.
