Busting Old Habits
|
by Denise Palmisano

Busting Old Habits - Is something
wrong with me?
When is it going to stop? Why do I keep doing this? Why can't I get past this hurdle? Have your old habits sabotaged your success
again?
Sound familiar? Unfortunately, many
people are met with obstacles while attempting to reach any goal especially, health and body
goals. We often put ourselves and the promises we make to ourselves last. You are not
alone. The good news is there is
something you can do about it that will work this time.
First thing you can do is
acknowledge where you are without making a judgment of you as a person. Separate you from the action, event or
circumstance. Awaken to your sabotaging thoughts, words and actions. What often makes us give in and give up is the
interpretation of the action or circumstance. We make it mean something about us. You
eat a donut and before you know it, you have made it mean that "You will never
succeed at anything" or "You're such a failure", "Why do you even bother, no one
cares". Be careful what you practice, you will get very good at it. These limiting beliefs and interpretations are keeping you stuck in the past an unable to move forward. Nothing will likely change until you wake up to what is holding you back and choose to interrupt the old habit. Maybe it is time to integrate a new standard operating procedure as additional structure your goals. Remember, it's not that we plan to fail, we often fail to plan.
ENOUGH ALREADY!!!! - Time for a proven
and guaranteed "Habit Buster"!!!!
SOP- your new standard operating procedure - STOP -OBSERVE - PROCEED
Instead of making it mean something
about you,
STOP - Pause and ask yourself a couple of questions. Is this thought, these words
or this
action going to support or sabotage that healthier vision of yourself?
Is this choice in alignment with creating optimal physical, mental or spiritual
health?
OBSERVE - Look at your habits or patterns as either working or not
working. Remove
you from the picture as something
inherently wrong with you. There is
nothing wrong with you. Reinterpret
your actions and ask yourself, will
this thought, word or action produce
the results I want to produce?
You are human and all of us have
developed habits, patterns or choices
that worked for us at one time. In other
words, there was a pay off. It is
probably time to reassess if the pay off now is worth being on automatic
pilot. If not, then....
PROCEED - Reconnect with what inspired you to set this goal in the
first place-
·
Focus on your vision -
What would you look like once your
goal is reached?
What would it feel like to have a healthier
body, mind and spirit?
What would be available to you if you were to intervene on the old habits?
Breathe in all of those
experiences. Let the yummy warmth of
success,
confidence and power soak into every cell of your body.
·
Be Proactive -
Make a list of all the
actions, habits and thoughts that take you further
away from accomplishing your goals. As you uncover and bust
a new one,
write it down. Continue to
build your list. Be willing to bust all of them,
even the ones
that don't seem like they are
that big of a deal. Don't forget
the ones that don't expose themselves
that often. Those are the sneaky
ones. You will observe how your sabotaging habits will diminish once you
acknowledge them and quit judging them and quit judging you.
Read your list at least
once a day to remind you of what is lurking in the
background as possible obstacles
and transparent, sabotaging habits.
·
Create
an action plan to bust these sabotaging habits.
What actions or practices can you integrate that will remind you to
Stop-Observe-Proceed?
What preparation or planning will be required for you reduce or eliminate
limiting beliefs, actions or words?
Do you have a support or
networking system to lean on when tempted or
discouraged? Who can you call? Do you have a coach? A mentor? A
friend?
Is there a skill, competence or quality you need to learn or integrate to
move forward?
Do you have an accountability
partner for success? You may want to
enroll
or hire a coach, a friend, a spouse.
I am committed to you and your success! What are you committed to?
