Habits

[iamsheikhadil]

Changing a habit is a big challenge, especially if it is well established. On the other hand, if we look in the mirror, we are all able to identify a habit that we would like to change.

With each beginning of the year we have that intention to do or stop doing something. Many times we started well, but after a short time we started doing the same thing again.

The good news is that there are effective methods for changing a habit. Sometimes what fails is not your will, but the strategy. Of course, this requires effort and perseverance, but without an appropriate method, it is much more difficult to achieve this goal of change.

I just read in a philosophy book on how to break a habit and I learnt an important fact that our procrastination gene dominates over every habit gene or repeatition. Procrastination can help to break a habit better than anything. Do all positive works you need to do without being lazy and make yourself tired enough to procrastinate the negative habits for the day.

There is not any scientific method in order to build habits.
Just try to involve this new activity in your daily schedule. Start with 5 mins during the day, then do it 10 mins... After sometime this activity is going to be your habit and you are going to do it everyday without thinking about it.

I can share probably my work habits. I always make it a point that I have an organized to do list everyday to make sure that I wouldn't forget anything as the day goes by. And also a lot of coffee to keep me at a 100%!

A few years ago, I took the habit of keeping track of what thoughts I have, what I think, etc.
This is a very useful habit, which allows you to understand a lot. For example, before, you could worry about something or be offended by someone or have any other negative emotions. And now you notice these negative images and thoughts and say “bye” to them because you turn your attention to good thoughts that will help you do something useful.
It's hard at first, but over time it gets easier and easier. And it took me about a year to learn how to control this. The results exceeded all my expectations. I sincerely advise everyone to “wake up” and begin to notice what thoughts you have, and if these are negative thoughts, then you can switch to positive ones!

I never skip breakfast no matter how busy I am, an advantage for a employee like me.

My bad habit that I want to change is I keep on overthinking in every small things and cant help it. Thats my character that I want to change for good because its not healthy for myself and causes a stress.

Get rid of all bad things in your life. Get the good things and begin to use/do them as often as necessary. The good habit will begin to form and will gradual bring you close to perfection with the help of GOD's Holy Spirit.
 It's important to know what the good and bad things really are, so that it will be way easy for you to form the good habit. GOD's own standard of good habit/things is different from the world's standard.

Habits occupy a very large part of our lives. It’s good if your habits help you, but if your habits harm you, then it makes life very difficult. Therefore, it is important to have as many good habits as possible and get rid of bad ones.

You cannot describe bad and good habits.
For some people some habits are bad and some are good - everything depends on the kind of person that has this habit.
If you feel that you have a bad habit you can quit it by leaving it out of your daily routine. If you do it one, two days without this habit then you are nearly quitting it.

Habits are a gradual behavior that should be maintained consciously for a certain timeframe until it has been normal, though it sounds easy it is very difficult thing to do because there are factors that will try to interfere and some of these factors can make you go back to square one altogether. I have steps that I do when I want to make something a habit. Here is some of my tips, but take this advice with a grain of salt because I am no expert.

• 1. Do the activity that you want to become a habit with a fixed time or repetitions if it is an exercise, for the whole step we have to use one example so I will use pull-ups as a habit, do atleast 1 or 2 then gradually snowball the number.
• 2. To gradually snowball the number is very hard so will need cues to trigger this, put a pull up bar in door, this will subcosciously trigger that you need to do some pull ups, at first you will be tired after the 1 or 2 reps of the pull ups but there will come a time that your body will adapt and you will want more and that is the cue for you to up the reps.
• 3. Take a break and do not think about doing pull ups for a day and you will subconsciously want to do pull ups.

These steps are personal accounts on how I created a habit, so you are free to add, criticize and ignore.

I actually stumbled upon an article which mentions committing to a personal goal for 21 straight days. After three weeks, that goal should become a habit. And once you've established that habit, you continue to do it for another 90 days. Let's see if it works!

How can you work while you are playing?
I guess you are playing video games so this require to be focused on the game or in the work. You cannot concentrate on both activities.

How to do this and what's the nature of your work? I assume that you are working freely and you don't have a certain schedule, as long as you finish your job, you're good and that's why you can play and work at the same time.

Is that right?

Habits usually came from our influences because other than anyone  they are the one who gives us idea choosing our habits.

The habit forms in about 3 weeks. therefore, if it’s hard for you to do something, then be patient a little and then you will do it automatically.

[Kamilaz]

something becomes a habit after you do it often enough for your brain to pick it up as part of your routine. Builidng a habit starts with percevierence.

There are two types of habits ... Some are good and some are bad as well. Both type of habits  have their own pons and cons. But the main different between the both types is that Good habits are beneficial and give you fruitful results, but bad habits give you fruitless results, that's why try to avoid your bad habits by replacing it with Good one

Everybody have habits some have good and some have bad but if you learn to control them you might
go very well in life

The best way to form a new habit is to tie it to an existing habit. Look for patterns in your day and think about how you can use existing habits to create new, positive ones. For many of us, our morning routine is our strongest routine, so that's a great place to stack on a new habit.
