Hardcore Habits
Yes lets look at habits at its core. Before I get into my take on habits and how wonderful habits can be, let me share a couple of stories to help with ones perception on living with habits.
I look at habits as a defining turning points in anything one does in life , You as the reader may agree with me or not. Habits can do wonderful things or they can destroy.
I have seen both sides of good habits and really bad ones. Lets talk about bad habits shall we? I have bad habits just like everyone else. I have my mind play tricks on me telling me everything is good and then reality hits, then a hiccup, and maybe a setback. My ego gets bruised and to fill the gap between feeling upset and feeling good I reach for junk food to fill that void. Yes its true, I go through rough patches and I have developed some bad habits along the way.
However there is one massive secret I used to help myself and others to overcome bad habits and I can share with you later as you read on.
My first story took place not to long ago. I live in a very beautiful city and things here are expensive. Much like many cities in North America there are areas that are under privileged or areas that are considered poor. I do volunteer my time to help the homeless by bring food to those in need.
One time while helping I stood back and watched people and asked myself "why do people have to live like this"? Why must they take drugs and do the things they do. I really wanted to ask a person who was high, but I'm sure I wouldn't get a straight answer.
Yes there are circumstances and I get that, but there has to be something at the core.
Bad habits or habits in general.
My take on habits (hold on now this may seem strange, but hear me out)
My take on habits is LOVE! What?
Yes LOVE.
You may say "what does love have to do with it"
When someone or anyone has a habit, all it is, is love for that habit. Love for what make a person feel good. the Love for that desire for that feeling.
So remember when I said "I have one massive secret"?
I'm going to get to it shortly.
I want to tell you the other side which I experienced. I was watching a young athlete practice soccer on a field close to my house. I approached him and asked him " how much do you practice"? He says to me "Every Day" then he says " it in my blood, I cant stop, I LOVE soccer".
Then it dawned on me. Good or bad the habit is, it all comes down to the love one puts into what they are doing.
However most people can do away with some bad habits and my secret to kicking bad habits to the curb is simple.
BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
BE conscious, not subconscious
I can elaborate on this even more, but that will be for next time.
My hope is that I can impact at least one person.
Wishing everyone great action in the future
