Happiness is Changing Old Bad Habits for Desirable Habits.

by BizMum

Of course, it is no easy task to remove old bad habits. But once achieved, desirable habits will help you have a happy life.

Habit

Unfortunately, most people do not even realize they have such terrible self destructive habits. They wonder why friends and family shun them. Loved ones try to embrace them but are often very taken aback by unwanted behaviours like temperamental flare-ups. Yet, they have many justifications. There is always that terrible past to blame. There is always that bad luck and lack of money to yet blame again. Hormonal change is yet another reason. Yes, more blame everywhere else but themselves.

Now, imagine what if this attitude of blaming and anger and revenge does not exist in your life. How will life be for you? For most this will be bliss. And if you think you don’t have any of these bad habits, look again at yourself. Just about everyone has developed some or many in their lifetimes. There is this little secret within the personal development community that will tell you that the moment you put forth the determination and desire to change your bad habit for good, you have gone more that 51% of the way toward your goal.

Isn’t that amazing? But then come the problem of how you would identify the bad habits that have been so ingrained you can’t identify it. Well, here are 8 simple steps you can take to help you get started on the road to better habits and a far better life.
Here are 4 simple steps you can take to help yourself.

1) You begin first with the intention of what you want.
- Prepare your peaceful place and be happily thinking about being successful in this goal you are about to achieve.
- Find a quiet and peaceful time (play soothing music if you like) with blue pen and white paper.
- Sit comfortably on a chair, cushion or mat and relax.
- By now you will have an idea of what you want to achieve – write it down on that piece of paper and put it aside.
2) Sit in a quiet environment and let your mind ease.
- Breathe deeply and slowly several times.
- Allow your senses to grow around you.
- Close your eyes if you wish.
- Feel your breath, heart beats, toes, fingers, etc.
- Allow yourself to settle down even more.
3) Meditate.
- Thoughts will come to you.
- Acknowledge them and allow them to flow freely.
- Thoughts or visions will surface – do not fight it, feel guilty about it, feel angry, or criticize it.
- Keep your meditation at peace.

3) Identify the Cause.
- Identify the environment that triggers such a reaction and the cause.
- What will happen during one of the meditational practices, you will witness the scenario when you had reacted to it.
- Instead of participating in this reaction, you watch from the place of a watcher – watch your body language, your breath, you feelings, why you are behaving such a way. Did you have a choice? What would you do if you could do it over again?

4) Create Your New Desired Habits.
- You have identified the unwanted habits and now you can replace them/it.
- Know that your thoughts created the habits.
- It will remain with you until you deny it and form a new habit in its place.
- New desired thoughts will eventually help you form your new desired habit.
- Continue to practice and discipline your thoughts to create the results you desire. This is one of rules of the Laws of Attraction.
