Welcome to Awareness for Everyone, an exploration of Conscious Reality Creation, and living the best lives we can for ourselves. I am MJ Blehart, writer, blogger, editor, and 21st century philosopher. This is Episode 34 – Habits
What is a habit?
An actual you do without much thought
Habits can be both good and bad, depending.
Many habits are totally subconscious.
Some habits are neutral, like bathing and napping and using the blinker in your car to signal lane changes. Others are good, like holding doors for people, changing empty toilet paper rolls and picking up litter. Some are bad, like smoking or always interrupting other people, or throwing a tantrum when you don’t get what you want.
Can habits be changed?
Any habit you have can be changed.
We develop patterns in our day to day activities that get so deeply ingrained in us that they become our habits. We simply do these things, because they are what we do. And when it comes time for us to make a change, more often than not a habit is where that change should begin.
First, you have to recognize the things you do by rote, the things that you just…do. Little to no thought happens, you just do them.
Mindfulness and the resulting awareness come into play
How do I change this habit? By doing something completely different.
Once you become mindful of a habit you become empowered to change it. This is done through intentional action.
Taking intentional actions for change.
