ON HABITS

"Habit is something you can do without thinking, which
is why most of us have so many of them." - Frank Clark

======================================

Habits shape our lives and predict our future. Change,
chosen or unchosen, can jolt you into awareness and give
you cause to reflect on the value of your habits.

I recently moved into a new space. The rooms, position of
windows, doors, and furniture are different. I began to
realize how many numbing predictable habits I have. They're
not all bad but I was never one to think I was "set in my
ways."

Daily rituals like my morning and afternoon tea remain but
I now sit in different places. I spend less time cloistered
in my office and more time writing on the deck. My office
is arranged for greater effectiveness and I have developed
a few improved ways of working. Everything hasn't changed
but I'm more aware of my habits and the impact on my work
and life.

======================================

"First we form habits, then they form us. ~ Conquer your
bad habits or they will conquer you" - Rob Gilbert

======================================

It isn't necessary to wait for changes at work or In your
personal life to change your bad habits. Unfortunately, most
of us do. Habits are like chains, difficult to break. Don't
develop an "I'll do it tomorrow" habit.

"Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before
we get tired."  - Mortimer Caplin

======================================

What habits do you need to examine? Think of just ONE and
how a positive change would impact your success in work or
life. Change that one and you might change your destiny.

======================================

"Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action;
actions form habits; habits decide character; and character
fixes our destiny."   - Tryon Edwards

======================================

Until next time, be well, be happy, and keep Bouncing Back.
