Breaking Negative Habits of Behaviour – Part 3
To break the pattern, you will need to recognise that you need to break it, get support or follow the steps to break it, and want to break it. If you have been actively working on the pattern you want to break and noting down your answers, you will have the information you need to get yourself started and break your pattern.

Breaking Negative Habits of Behaviour – Part 2
When we start to display the behaviour on a regular basis (either publicly or privately), it becomes a pattern, and patterns are familiar. Once a behaviour becomes familiar, our feelings towards it change. Perhaps when you first did it you felt pleasure, relief, safety, shock, or anger at yourself for having done it. Once it becomes a pattern, these feelings are dulled. They are still there, but dulled.

Breaking Negative Habits of Behaviour – Part 1
Do you ever feel stressed out because you keep repeating the same mistakes? Do you gravitate towards people who seem to mistreat or take advantage of you? Do you want stability in your life but seem to make decisions that take you further away from that? Perhaps you want to break a habit but never seem able to really shake it. Do you know what you need to do to promote your health, but just seem to do the opposite? Whatever mistake you feel you are repeating, it can be wearing to have to face up to it again and again.

Are You Fed Up Of All the New Year’s Talk?

Be Your Own Best Friend
There are times when we can be so hard on ourselves that we buckle under the pressure. We may count on our good friends to come and tell us that we are doing well. Our true friends will help us to appreciate our strengths and our achievements, especially if we have a tendency to be hard on ourselves. But what would you do if you didn’t have anyone to encourage you? Would you be able to step in and be your own best friend? Read the rest of this entry »

How To Continue To Succeed When Things Get Tough.

It feels easier to buy organic produce when money is flowing, it easier to make changes in your life when your loved ones support you, and it’s definitely easier to stick to your business, personal, or health plan when you feel on top of the world. But what about when you feel low? What about when your financial situation changes? What about when people around you seem to be less supportive? At times like these, it’s easy to feel like giving up or going back to previous habits, but there is a way to continue to succeed. Read the rest of this entry »
