Welcome, Warriors. We are creatures of habit, habits that can forge us or destroy us.
Be it may life-changing good habits or harmful bad habits,
- every choice we make can make a difference in the grand scheme of our life and others at the same time.
Sometimes when we need to advance in life, despite being immensely motivated, it’s our habits that truly hold us back.
If you want to get better in life in whichever aspect you wish to, your habits are the ones that shall truly set us free. Let’s understand why they affect us so much.
The Power of your habits
By Definition, A habit is a routine of behavioral patterns learned through context dependent repetition and tends to occur subconsciously.
Habitual behaviour is regulated by an impulsive process, and so can be elicited with minimal cognitive effort, awareness, control, or intention.
Meaning: It takes little effort to do things that you have been doing since you were born or have been doing for a while.
On the plus side, this means that your good habits will stay with you throughout your lifetime with the help of your subconscious mind.
However, the downside to this is your bad habits will stay with you in your subconscious, waiting for the right cue to manifest themselves.
- We will learn about it more in this blog post.
To create a better you
Each choice you make in the present can have an immense impact on your future.
The practice of running daily can help you stave off cholesterol and heart-related ailments.
- While regular exercise will help you stay happy, motivated, confident, and healthy.
Healthy habits often lead to improved health, a better lifestyle, and a feeling of contentment with ourselves.
- Habits are the foundation upon which complex individuals are built.
How does that work, you ask?
Let’s assume you choose to read a book – one page at a time.
- What will happen eventually is you will get used to reading 1 page without any conscious effort and gradually amass knowledge over time.
Eventually, you can read 2 pages with conscious effort and so forth, till it becomes simply a routine habit without any conscious effort.
How?
- That’s where the power of cues comes into the light, simply put, you will see your book and simply pick it up and start reading – the cue here is looking at the book.
To destroy you
How do you ask? With a simple mathematical principle, we understand it as ‘compounding’.
Imagine a scenario: you spend 10₹ or 10$ every day, and after 1 year, you would have spent 3650₹ or 3650$.
Now simply apply this logic to what you think your bad habits are and the effect they will have on you.
Any habit which has a harmful effect on us, if done repeatedly will compound in the future with consequences.
Eating junk food, smoking, drinking too much, etc. will eventually catch up with us in the future.
- The effect starts from day one and will eventually present itself to us in the long term.
Bad habits generally destroy us over time, sometimes even immediately.
With time, these practices become subconsciously ingrained in our brains and become our habits and we simply keep doing them.
What can be done then?
That’s the question that helps us get better as an individual, but ironically that’s the question that also halts our growth – because we are not aware of the answer.
Rest assured, where there is a will there is a way. Ultimately, that’s all you need at first: The Will To Act.
That’s step one: Will to Act and choose a cue and a habit.
- Worry not, TheBetterWarrior will help you in detail on (how to develop new habits.).
For now, start small, and consciously focus on choosing to act on the habits you want to have.
To create a better version of ourselves, remember to choose and act consciously.
- It may be difficult, but you can do it, our subconscious minds are powerful beyond measure.
That’s the beauty of humans and the power of our habits.
Remember, it’s your choice which creates your habits and these habits can forge you or destroy you.
So, which habit would you like to have? Comment Below!
