Changing Habits to Improve your Life and/or Business

Habits, oh those nasty habits. Habits are developed from training, influences, observation, and practice. We develop many habits throughout our life, which some are good and others are bad. Good habits we can keep, but if you want to improve the bad habits has to take a hike. Getting rid of bad habits however is not easy, especially if an addiction is involved. For this reason, we can take a few steps to learning how you can change your habits.

Making excuses: People wander through life making excuses. Anytime a person sees something complicated, they will often make excuses why they cannot deal with the problem. This is just the way I am. This is a common problem in the world, which we have all heard billions of times. If you are out to improve; however, you need to say, “This is something that hinders me from success and I have the power to change it!”

The first key to success is stop making excuses. Learn how to be honest and tell the truth. The truth is the only answer that leads you to improve your life. Once you learn to tell the truth, you will need to commit yourself to learning new behaviors and habits.

You can commit by choosing a new habit. Today I plan to drink more water. Some of us detest water, yet water is our way of living healthier. Instead of detesting something that will save your life, start saying, today I will drink more water. Even if you start out drinking a glass for the first couple of days, you are making changes. Small changes lead to great successes.

Today I am going to stop judging others and myself. This is a common mistake people make in the world. They spend time judging others and themselves. This gets them nowhere but in a world of chaos. You make your bed; you must learn to sleep in it, which is why you should change your ways. Judging is only for our Master in the sky.

Do you think negative? I cannot change this. My life is full of nonsense; I can’t deal with it anymore. Why me? Who put a tag on my back, saying kick-me. If you spend your life thinking and saying negative self-talk, you need to improve your critical self-talk today. For instance, say, how can I change this something and I am going to. Instead of saying life is full of nonsense; realize it does not always make sense than move ahead to make your situation better. “Why me?” is a common question, which no one knows why, yet we have to accept it, make better decisions and move on.

If you feel persecuted, ask yourself what you are doing that makes you feel this way. Embrace the fact that you decide how you feel about things. Do you have friends or family members weighing you down? If so, then limit your exposure to them and make new friends. No one in life is worth your ongoing suffering. You have the power to make changes, yet you do not have the power to change other people.

When you start to make changes to improve your life, start small. Instead of jumping in head first, take small steps to success. Too many times people try to change overnight. This only leads to frustration. You did not get to where you are overnight so, do not expect to make permanent changes overnight.
