Tips On How To Reprogram Your Worst Habits

By Quinn Harris


The power to train your mind to choose what you think is what you have rather than allow random thoughts to hold you hostage. Becoming inner-directed and focused is your goal so that rather than have your thoughts and emotions be determined by the world around you, you will be able to decide what you want to think. The untrained mind has more emotional ups and downs because it is reacting to random thoughts. Focus on what you want with joy and enthusiasm.

Remember, just like the Earth, your brain does not discern what you plant. It will work just as hard to grow weeds as it will to grow beautiful flowers. You determine the seeds that are planted by what you say to yourself over and over.

Since your subconscious mind does not know the difference between factual reality and imagined reality, then quite simply you are a self-fulfilling prophecy. You will be able to create that as the dominant request in your experience if only you focus on what you say you don't want.

What you do want is what you need to be focused on. Try defining yourself as the new person that you chose to be. For example, you can say that your weight is perfect for your body and lifestyle. If you are still looking to lose weight, you may want to say something like: I am allowing my body to obtain its perfect balance for health and vitality. Many of your beliefs have no foundation of truth, so instead of promoting your purpose, they hold you back from success.

If you think you are destined to be overweight, below average, poor, unlucky in love, clumsy, or even "not good at something," you will take actions that make these thoughts become reality. Thinking these thoughts creates beliefs and images in your mind that reinforce these negative statements until they actually become true for you even though none of these thoughts are actually true.

Make sure you are aware of the directions you give your brain. What you believe about situations as well as your internal dialogue are responsible with how you create your emotions. With negative self-talk messages, you will only end up giving up before you even try something new. Always be aware that your words can make ominous predictions. This would include saying about your habit "I'll never be able to stop this; I've been doing it so long."

What you are doing is programming yourself to believe that you are powerless and too weak to overcome the habit. These negative permissions clutter up your ability to change your behaviors. Make sure to pay attention to yourself when you are uttering negative permissions and negative reinforcements.

Avoid negative self-talk: "I can't do this. I don't understand. I'll look stupid. I'm too old to learn new skills. They make me feel stupid. That's just the way I am. There's nothing I can do. No one in my family can do it, so I know I cannot."

To change old habits and behaviors, make sure to change your self-talk to positive reinforcement. With a positive outlook, more options for creative solutions will be created. Remember, focus on what you want. Keep it simple and sure.
