Some important things to consider about the habits we want to change:
o habits are difficult to change and yet they can be changed
o sometimes its best to take major steps and change a habit (i.e. either you're a smoker or not smoking)
o many times making "adjustments" works best (i.e. you want an uncluttered home, its important to start "somewhere")
o when we purposely break old habits, we may grieve research shows that it takes at least 21 days to change a habit
o an empty space is left where the old habit used to be fill the empty space with a new habit or something from your WOW List http://www.coachmaria.com/wowlist.html
There is a recovery program slogan called the 3 A's - Awareness, Acceptance, Action. It's a wonderful process for change. Below is my coaching slant on using that slogan to makes changes or "adjustments" in your life.
o you become aware of what is going on, what you're doing, how you're action etc.
o you accept and become responsible for the "habit", in your heart, just the way it is
o you take action, find solutions, create a process, make steps, and start changing!
Change into the person you are meant to be!
