How To Get Rid Of Your Bad Habits And Behaviors

If you’re looking for ways how to get rid of bad habits and behaviors, this will be the perfect article for you. I’m going to share with you how you can ‘delete’ your bad habits and behaviors today.

You know, success is all about what you do in your life. And therefore, your habits and behaviors play important roles in it.

If you’re someone who procrastinate a lot and lazy to take action, you’ll never produce the results you want in your life. Your negative habits will not bring you the results you want.

As a result, you must start by adopting positive and empowering habits that will bring you what you want in your life.

To get rid of your negative habits, you must first understand what creates them.

Your habits are created by your thoughts. When you were born into this world, you have no habits. You pick up your habits from the influence from your surrounding and your own life experiences.

Your parents, your friends, your teachers, your boss, your peers… basically anyone can affect your habits by influencing your thoughts.

Once you have a certain thought in your mind, your mind will start to send signals to your emotion and hence you will take a certain set of action, which is your habits, to produce a certain results.

And after you’ve got the results, you’ll reinforce the thoughts in your mind.

For example, what will you do if I give you $100 right now? It depends on your habit toward the extra money. Some people will use to buy something they love, some people will buy meals, and some people will save or invest it.

When you invest the money, you’ll feel satisfy. This feeling of satisfaction will reinforce your brain and that next time if you ever receive any extra money, you’ll invest it as well.

On the other hand, if you spend the money to buy something that you desire, the instant gratification will also help to reinforce the thoughts in your mind.

Unless something ‘bad’ happened, you’ll keep on cycling the same pattern over and over again.

What I mean is, if you want to change your habit, you must create a new thought and emotion in your mind to replace the existing pattern.

It is not like computer, which you can simply press on the delete button to delete away files that you don’t want. Your mind works differently in ‘deleting’ negative thoughts or habits that you don’t want.

Like what I mentioned above, if you want to get rid of your negative habits and behaviors, you’ll have to start by replacing your old patterns with new ones.

Take back the previous example. If you spend the $100 I give you into gambling, and you lose them all, will this result help you to better manage your extra money you get in the future? Of course it would.

Conversely, if you invest the $100 into something, and you earn an extra $100 from it, which now you have $200 at your hand, you’ll definitely create a strong emotion and thought pattern into your mind about investing.

You’ll most likely to invest any extra money I give you in the future. This is how you can change your habits and behaviors.

Some people procrastinate all the time. They choose to watch TV instead of investing their time into reading development books. They get instant gratification of feeling joy when watching TV. This will reinforce their thought pattern that watching TV is good and reading books is something they don’t like.

This cycle will keep on going until one day, something forces them to change. Such as if they did not change their habits, they’ll be in dept. When this happen, they’ll forces themselves to take different set of action that will lead to different results.

And if they get positive results, they’ll form a new thought pattern and new habits for themselves.

This is exactly how your mind works and how your habits can be formed and replaced with new and empowering ones.

So start by noticing your old thinking patterns that lead you to a certain habit.

After that, try to create a new thinking by asking empowering questions and focus on positive thoughts. When you do this, you’ll feel the difference. Take action that will lead you to the results you want immediately.

Once you have taken the action, you’ll get the results you want and you’ll create change in your mind, or reinforce your thought pattern.

This is the real art of how to get rid of bad habits and behaviors.
