Power Of Habit

Power Of Habit:

Today I have decided to take charge of my life. Not live my life cause "I have to"

Why we should do things that you really don't want to , why follow a routine that you don't like to , why live someone else life . Whats the point of being someone else or living a life of stress , when you can live your life stress free.

In today's world we all add up stress to our lives. We do it to ourselves. There are no circumstances that will force you to do things that you really don't want to.

If we become prey of something or someone , it is because we attracted it some or the other way. I believe in "Law of Attraction" and I totally know that it works for me . So, if it works for me , then I am sure it works for you too. 

Lets all come together today and come out of these restrictive life and live life with Freedom. That is the real freedom in life. Freedom is not only for a nation or for people who are physically trapped, freedom can be at every individual level, if we really want it. Freedom of doing what you really want to do, freedom of having fun at  your work, freedom of having fun in a relationship, freedom of having fun in every situation you are in .

We choose to be free or to be trap, it is our decision, not anyone else. 

Let me elaborate: You can be free in a jail too, you can free in trapped place too. Its your mindset how you want to be and how you want to take situations as. We have to live our lives with all the zeal, enthusiasm , love and courage and see ourselves being free of anything and everything we want.

If you get a chance watch this movie called "Life is Beautiful" , the must watch movie before you die :)

So, starting today's journey, lets start with very basic basic ideas of freeing yourself. Create a new habit or break out of an old habit. This will bring freedom from a habit that you wanted to come out of and will help you replace with that with a new habit that you want to bring in your lives.
  1. Pick a habit, of which you want to set yourself free. 
  2. Create a new habit to replace the old one
  3. Write it down in this blog and submit it.
  4. Start implementing it and continue it for straight 30 days.
1. Picking a habit: Pick a very simple habit, some examples are below:
  • Give up drinking soda /coffee / tea etc
  • Giving up getting  up late
  • Giving up complaining
2. Creating a new habit to replace with the one you just gave up

We need to replace the void, otherwise it will be difficult to handle those situation when your old habit will try to creep in. If you have a replacement habit, you will be focused on another thing rather than thinking of how hard it can be to quit an old habit.
Examples of new habits:
  • Replace your coffee with hot water everyday
  • Get up 5:00 am in the morning  everyday
  • Start complimenting people everyday 

3. Write it down and submit it 

Writing it down makes it real for yourself and declaring it with friends and family, opens a possibility of   a challenge and/or support , which would motivate to do what you want to do. People in your environment will be there to support you, as they know what you are trying to achieve and it will become a combine effort to make your habit a big success.

4. Start implementing it and continue it for 30 days.

Now the real challenge starts. We want to implement this new habit for 30 days straight  The day we break this habit, it will go back to day Zero and you start all over again, until you finish your 30 days. After 30 days, this will become a part of your daily routine and you will not need tons of effort to do this new habit that you picked up. 

This way I am going to take charge of my life and do really what I want to do :)

  1. Thanks a lot for sharing!! This is a great idea of collectively working as a community towards our individual goals.

    I really love the idea of replacing an old habit with a new one. I have often experienced that most of my energy is focused on "not" doing a particular thing rather than attending to what I really want to do.

  2. I know I like the idea of filling the void, and concentrating on what we really want to do.
    I am glad you like it, I hope you pick up a habit and write it down to share with all of us. Any ideas can be inspiration for everyone and that will be a random act of kindness, inspiring people with your ideas as well :)
