Without a doubt, the number #1 question I get asked by clients is 'how do I break a bad habit like procrastination, worry, insomnia, negative thinking or smoking'? There are a million examples of ways that each one of us holds our own success back by 'doing' unproductive habits.
To make lasting change to deeply ingrained bad habits using willpower and positive affirmations alone is not realistic. Everyone knows that positive thinking is undependable and produces inconsistent results, at best. The self-image on the other hand underpins our level of emotional intelligence (EQ), which is now recognised as being an even more important measurement for success than the IQ.
It has been scientifically proven that our brain circuits take engrams or memory traces, and produce neuro connections only if they are bombarded with the information for 21 days in a row. This means that our brain does not accept 'new' data or habit changes unless they are repeated each day for at least 21 days, without missing a day.
If you want to change a habit like refusing to let go of the past, spending all your time worrying about what
might go wrong, overeating, biting your nails or spending more than you earn, it can be done but it will
require consistent effort on your part, every day for at least 21 days. In order to do it, your success rate will
improve significantly if you can replace that old habit you no longer need with a good and productive habit that will support you to achieve your goals and find someone to help keep you accountable.
And remember, no matter where you are in your life right now -- the choices you have made or the experiences you have had -- "I have a belief that it is never too late to become the person you were meant to be!"
