Overcome Bad Habits
“If you don't learn how to control your thoughts, you will never learn how to control your behavior. Focus on the good habit you want to do, not the bad habit you don't want to do. Overcome the bad with good.” ~ Joyce Meyer
The most exhilarating achievement is breaking a bad habit.
“All bad habits start slowly and gradually, and before you know you have the habit, the habit has you.” ~ Zig Ziglar
Habits take time to learn. We drift into habits and they become our behavior - who we are, from other people's point of view. But they do not define who we are: we can change our habits. As Stephen Covey says, "Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character."
“The habits that too years to build, do not take a day to change.” ~ Susan Powter
To change your life, change your habits. It requires conscious effort and mindfulness, but you can do it. Three to four weeks of practicing a new desirable behavior every day is all the time you need to make a new good habit. If you can make it through this initial conditioning phase, it becomes easy to sustain thereafter. Indeed, good habits are just as addictive as bad habits but much more rewarding.

Question: doesn't life present all of us with pain? At the risk of sounding superficial, we need to stop our "paralysis by analysis," stop searching for "the secret to life," admit that we are all in some sort of pain, and start developing healthy, fulfilling, and productive actions, beliefs, and habits.
