habits

everyone has habits. there are some we acknowledge well like smoking or using particular words. others most neglect like certain reactions in certain situations, thought patterns. giving up the latter is no easier than the former and even more difficult since most do not acknowledge these habits.

so, what about them? quite often, these habits bring well more harm than say smoking. especially when they run free unmanaged and not recognised. from my observations generally, over 90% of all thoughts conducted by an adult are formed by habits, regardless if this brings harm or denies people their goals. it's like the cases when person understands what is to be done, yet can not because of the build up mind habits that limits it.

is it possible to get rid of all the habits? no. it's the way human mind works. breathing is a habit either. :) trick is to figure habits that bring harm and give them up. quite simple. quite difficult.

the way this can be done is training. when you see a harming habit in action - try to stop it. sooner or later an attempt will be a success.

good luck.
