Consider This When Adjusting Your Habits

Maria Marsala by Maria Marsala

Summary: Change is change. Not easy and a necessary part of life and growth. This article will assist you to understand the process of change.

 

Some important things to consider about the habits we want to change:

  • habits are difficult to change and yet they can be changed
  • sometimes its best to take major steps and change a habit (i.e. either you're a smoker or not smoking)
  • many times making "somewhere")
  • when we purposely break old habits, we may grieve
  • research shows that it takes at least 21 days to change a habit
  • an empty space is left where the old habit used to be
  • fill the empty space with a new habit or something from your wow list
  • There is a recovery program slogan called the 3 A's - Awareness, Acceptance, Action. It's a wonderful process for change. Below is my coaching slant on using that slogan to make changes or "adjustments"
    • you become aware of what is going on, what you're doing, how you're action etc.
    • you accept and become responsible for the "habit", in your heart, just the way it is
    • you take action, find solutions, create a process, make steps, and start changing!

    Change into the person you were meant to be! Do it now!
