How do you correct bad habits?
I'm amazed, even though a certain bad habit has brought to my attention - i still manage to screw up and can't seem to kick the habit. Its so bad, I didn't even know I did it until it was pointed out to me after the fact - I have no idea why i even did it?!?!
Re: How do you correct bad habits?
What's the habit (if you don't mind me asking) - and I guess that if you're aware of it, you just need to somehow keep it in mind and be consciously aware of it. That way, if it's in your mind, you'll start to hopefully, not do it or do another good thing in the future. I've heard that it takes 2 weeks to form a new habit (of whatever - fill in the blank).
Good luck!
Well its kinda wierd... I tend to rush and get frazzled when lots of things are going on. I don't take the time to think about what I'm saying/writing or pay close enough attention when going through the motions. So, I can get myself into trouble by saying things I totally don't mean (and don't even know where they came from). Or I wind up breaking things, hurting myself or damaging things by not paying close enough attention.
So, I know that I have to SLOW DOWN and PAY ATTENTION. But I get on a roll and forget about this and.... then yesterday out pops something stupid in an email and I wind up hurting people when I have no idea where the comment came from.
Well email I'd probably make yourself wait 15 minutes and then re-read before sending.
Maybe when you catch yourself rushing force yourself to stop and take five deep breaths? Or more if that's what you need to slow down.
I completely agree - with what randomCanadian said.
I know that every single person in the world is guilty of getting caught up in a windstorm at times and I know I don't realize when I do. (until after).
The main thing is - patience/zen/calm whatever you'd like to call it is key. Basically, you're going to have to 'train' yourself to take a moment before you do anything. After a while, it'll start to become part o fyour nature instead of just reacting by instinct. It may be frustrating at the beginning, but if you do this before anything, you're off to a start.
Also, before you go to bed at night, take a few minutes to go through the day and think about what you liked/didn't like and how you can change those situations for the better the next time they present themselves, or what you can do tomorrow that will be better.
Patience - and all will work out in the end.
I agree with PP. Force yourself to think before you act because right now you are acting first and thinking later.
