Breaking Bad Habits is Hard, but It’s Not Impossible
All it takes is time, determination and a little self-believe.
We all have bad habits. Some are small and barely noticeable to the untrained eye while others have the power to disrupt your life on a daily basis. But no matter the size of these aggravating mannerisms, we all have the ability to overcome them and change our lives for the better.
Like many people I have more than one routine altering ‘quirks’.
I’m a full-time procrastinator, an excellent negotiator when it comes to talking myself out of doing what needs to be done and I have the tendency to binge drink on occasions — when I get the taste, I like to make a night of it.
All the characteristics of someone who won’t be achieving their goals anytime soon.
Not one to beat myself up, I accept these vices for what they are even though they do irritate me at times.
When it comes to dealing with imperfections I go through phases.
There could be weeks, even months when I stay strong, fight against the temptation to be lazy, keep the beers to a minimum and put in the work to move closer towards my goals.
But, sooner or later I always slip-up and fall back into my old ways.
