We must learn to overcome habits which are bad for us, and cultivate only those which are good for us...
Remember No One Is Responsible For Your Own Habits But You!
And you are free to form any new habits which you desire.
It’s necessary that something we do over and over again like our habits, become automatic in order to free up the conscious mind so it may attend to other things.
Any new actions we carry out on a regular basis will, however, in their turn, become habitual, and then automatic...
This is in order for the mind to be freed from this detail so it may advance again on to yet more activities.
Habits have the power to make or break us to a far greater extent than we actually realize, or like to admit.
Our habits can be both a "powerful enemy" and a "wonderful friend" to us...
The truth is that a lot of us are actually controlled by our own habits, and we only do things in a certain way because of the power of habit.
Most of us never really stop to ever think or focus on why we do a certain thing this way or that way - and we never take the time out to study and see if we could do things in a better way.
We form new habits all the time, for instance,
If we repeat something five times or more in the same way, we will have then formed the habit of doing it that way.
The more we repeat it the stronger the habit will then become and the more deeply it will root itself in our nature.
After we have forced any habit for a long time, it becomes almost a part of us, and can be hard to overcome.
But nevertheless we can still break any habit we desire to, by simply focusing on its opposite.
It's Often Not Enough To Simply Stop Doing A Certain Habit...
You must replace it with a new healthy habit and focus on creating this healthy and good habit as your new way of thinking.
Learning something new or breaking a habit can sometimes be difficult at first, this is the time to get a firm grip on yourself, to hold yourself steadily to your task, no matter how hard or disagreeable it may be.
Keep up this discipline day after day and week after week, and you will soon learn the art of self-mastery.
The KEY is to keep at it and it’s sure to become easier.
Developing freedom from your habits lies in understanding the whole mechanism of habit, both conscious and unconscious.
It’s not simply a question of ending habit, but of seeing the full structure and makeup of habit.
You must observe how habits are formed and how, by denying or resisting one habit, another habit is created.
What matters most is to be totally conscious of habit – if you do this, you will see for yourself there is no longer the formation of habit.
But To Resist Habit, To Fight It, To Deny It, Only Gives Strength To Habit!
When you fight any particular habit you give life to that habit, and then the very fighting of it becomes a further habit...
