Breaking Old Habits & Making New Ones

Journey to anew to where educations rise. What’s been covering the land had not changed what’s to come. Schools & businesses begin to move forward. Adapting to the world & its new stigma. The life of education & journey continuous. Economy & statistics effects our decisions but doesn’t define our action. Preparing the new for a future after, we take steps for a better tomorrow.

Its always a struggle to break & start new habits. From changing your weight to learning a new skill to add to your repertoire. Adoptions a new habit & breaking an old one becomes easier when you have a guide or a mentor.

Learning something new grows from how you are able to withhold information. From high school & below, you had teachers who provided you the ins & out of the many topic at hand. You also are challenged to practice the discipline so that it is ingrained in your consciousness.

As Adults learning new skills is based on how the information can stay in your cognition. Naturally connecting the new skills & habits through things that you most likely connect with in a way that doesn’t allow from abandonment of the habit.

The struggles of building new habits challenges your state of being & interferes with your routine for the old habit. Mentally as well as physically, habits build over time through repetition & the ability to overcome the difficult parts in the beginning.

Breaking habits can be broken replacing them with new ones. Its easier said than done but old habits die hard. It is said that it takes 21 days to fully adopt a new habit. Through this process we learn to deal with our triggers for the old ones. Replacing the old with the new is changed with consistency. Practicing & continuously attempting the new habit will slowly convince the mind that it can be a good thing to do this habit versus the old one.

Telling yourself over & over may not give you much success all the time. In a world where access to information is readily available, it becomes a matter of looking for ways to change your habit as well as looking for the healthiest way to changing your habit.

Habits can come out of nowhere sometimes. They can develop through experiences & sneak up in you where you least expect it. In fact, habits can even be within your routines where you pass by it or don’t even recognize how those moments affect you. Imagine creating a habit of giving yourself access to your gaming console only after completing a certain task gives you the incentive to complete it to obtain the reward.

Practice makes perfect as one may call it. One can break a habit & call back into an old one which can ruin the new habit but the reality can be that we cant jump cold turkey & constantly change habits for the better. It would be more like robots inputting a new software & replacing it with something else. The important thing is when we fall down to keep going & getting back up. It helps to have a foundation of people to help guide you or keep you accountable.

Having a foundation of trusting people to hold you accountable is important. Even without that, there’s ways to make sure you are held accountable. Imagine it like what someone goes to the gym & they enter a state where they will go in, do what they got to do, & leave right after (at least on paper). Separating your mental state during the progression of changing habits helps to prioritize your focus & sometimes distractions while your in progression helps as well.

Overall, habits die hard but once they’re broken they no longer have much a hold on you. Your new habit becomes part of your new routine & you are better because of it. The old becomes a memory that has lost its power & even though sometimes it may try to come back, you will be more resilient. The mind is a crazy thing & time, energy, support & discipline goes along way to being better people from the habits we try to break & the new habits we learn to adopt.
