Habits and Leaves Falling

In Autumn, when the trees lose their leaves, they do so for one reason only.

There are new buds behind those leaves that push those leaves out.

Similarly, in life this is also true. If one wants to change a habit, the only lasting way to do so is if the habit is pushed out like an old leaf by a new bud.

By doing this, new empowering habits are created and more importantly, will last.

Many people have decided to change their eating habits, drinking habits, exercise habits, smoking habits or working habits. There is some change but it is short-lived and often they return to the old way of doing things.

The reason for this is that although they have forcefully tried to change, they have not thought of a new habit that could go into its place.

If you want to change a habit you must do three things in this order. Firstly, commit fully. Secondly, find a new way doing things. Finally, do it so well and with so much emotion that soon the old habit falls out like an old leaf.

Learning how to change a Habit is one of the most important lessons we can learn. In order to do so, decide on one habit you are going to change. Secondly, find an alternative. If your habit is to lose weight, firstly, find out why you are in such a state. Is it because of eating patterns or lack of exercise? Let us assume it is a lack of exercise. We now have the first two stages, the final stage is to actually exercise and to stay exercising. The best way to do this is to ask yourself the following question, what exercise do I enjoy and how can I make it so that on I love doing it. Could it be by swimming, playing a new sport or running? Just by asking this question, your mind will find an answer. All you have to do now is do something you enjoy!
