Habits that we have, whether good or bad, are part of our hardwiring. If we had to relearn everything that we do every day we would be a wreck, but habits that we want to break or make now become very difficult due to this hardwiring.
People need help to fix some of these hardwiring problems, and I don’t disagree - if you need help, get it.
But if the habit is something that you want to break, you can, if you understand that after you do something for 21 days or so, then the new habit begins to form over the old habit.
Think about getting dressed in the morning. Do you do it the same everyday? That is your hardwiring in action.
What small habit do you have that you would like to change or increase? Start small to begin with and work up.
If you decide you want to read more, try at a specific time reading for just 10 minutes before you go bed, or in the morning after waking up, and do this faithfully for 30 days. At the end of the month it will feel strange not to do it, since the new habit has become part of your hardwiring, and replaced another thing you used to do (or not). Try it...it works...
Let me know.
Thanks,
