Bad Habits & Qualities – 3 Steps to Help Replace Your Bad Habits With Good Habits
Do you have a bad habit you don’t like about yourself? I can help! Read the 3 short steps below and follow them. With a little hard work and persistence you will be able to replace those bad habits, qualities, and characteristics with good ones.
The first step is to know why you want to change this about yourself. If you want to change this thing about you for someone else than I must warn you now the change if successful, will only be temporary. You have better chances if the change is for yourself. Although it will still be hard work and you will need persistence.
If this “bad habit” is really a quality of who you are than there are many events that have caused this to be a part of who you are and just means you need that much persistence to undo.
Now you are attempting to do this for someone else than unless that person is always around there is a good chance your bad habit will eventually return. And for those of you who want to change for someone else you might try looking at why it is they want you to change that habit OR why it is you want to change that for them. If it will ultimately make you a better person than why don’t you want to change it for yourself? If the answer is you are comfortable with the way you are and it doesn’t really bother you,, than take my advice and don’t try to change it about yourself for them. (Believe me it doesn’t work.)
“Those who love you love you for who you are. Those you change for love you for who will become.”
From experience I know that you can’t make permanent changes for someone else especially if they leave. Because once they do you have nothing and no one but yourself there to push you to continue thus having many reasons for you to adapt to your old habits once again. Your surroundings do affect this (i.e. social smokers).
The second step to changing this “bad habit” is to answer the question “what “good habit” do you want to replace it with?” For example, if I wanted to change my lack of washing the dishes on a daily basis than what I would replace it with is washing them (on a daily basis). So every time I walk into my kitchen and see dishes in my sink, instead of walking out and leaving them in there I wash them. This is step two replacing your bad habit with a good one.
Step three, is to repeat and be persistent, (i.e. even if I dread doing those dishes, I DO THEM)! You need to do this for a good 7-8 weeks. When time passes and the time is up I want you to not concentrate on keeping up with this newly trained you. It should now, be something you automatically consider doing, after the numerous repetition. Example, I can’t stand having a stack of dishes in my sink anymore and now I wash them EVERYTIME I do, even if I don’t want to. It’s looked at more lik a “have to do” rather than I can “wait to do it.”
Those are you 3 steps! Now, go and try it! Good luck!
