Just as addictions try to control our lives, whether we are addicted to doing a good thing or addicted to doing a bad thing, habits can have the same effect, both good and bad. Where addictions try to control our lives, habits are things we learn and use to run our lives. We must stay in control of ourselves. Unlike the old Outer limits show, we’re the ones who are actually in charge of our sharpness and blurriness, our perspective, and our actions.
The trick to beating a habit is the same as ridding yourself of and addiction.
The Trick? You have to want to make a change into something and someone you would rather be. No one else can make your changes for you. No one else can decide that this is your time to do something. And no one else can be you. You are the one and only. You are unique. No one else has permission to change you. Only you can do it. Everyone else can only help.
However, once you make the decision to change, there will be a lot of help for you. Although it is not easy, it is probably not as hard as you may have thought. If you thought impossible, it would be easier than that. Just bring some determination with you on your trip.
Find good mentors that you trust and want to emulate. Then find a good program or a good coach or therapist that can help you. You want someone who you can relate to. Someone you have good faith in. And, remember that faith you need to have in yourself. After all, you are looking to build a better you. And that takes good gumption.
Have faith in yourself, and even with all the triumphs and tribulations that will come and go, keep doing your best.
