How to Finish Bad Habits

Bad habits will continue repeating every day ...
... Unless you consciously decide to stop and make a plan to replace them with healthier habits.
Imagine you decide to stop eating sweets, but you're not sure what you do to get it.
Surely you'll never get leave because your habit works unconsciously and even consciously try to stop it, when your guard is starting again.

What are Habits

Habits are a mechanism that allows you to free the mind conscious of having to think about all the routine activities that you perform.
Are patterns of behavior that you've taken because I have worked in the past and they are still using them because you are comfortable.
But what if you realize that the habits that were acceptable in the past are no longer?
Suppose a child ate chocolate chip cookies for a snack and is one of the habits that you have retained an adult.
Your habit of eating these things means that now you are gaining excess weight and your body needs a change.
Habits are hard to change because they have been carved in your mind by repeating over and over again in the same process over time.

As is Form A Bad Habit

Bad habits start by accident. For example, one day that you were bored and decided to put zapping on TV and as I was a rewarding experience, decided to re-look the next day.
Now it's been a few years and spend some time each day watching TV while you realize it's a waste of time. Why?

Habits are developed in 3 parts:

1. Trigger
It is the stimulus that causes your habit. If for example, you usually bite your nails in stressful situations, the trigger is your emotional reaction to stress.
Two. Response
The answer is the reaction it provokes in you encouragement, thoughts and actions that make you carry the habit itself. Following the example, this is the moment you put your finger in your mouth for you to bite your nails.
Three. Reward
The reward is the pleasure and satisfaction that will produce immediate reply. The reward of biting your nails is decreasing your anxiety.
Here is the trap of bad habits: the pleasurable effect of reward is short and the next time you meet with the initial stimulus is easy to want to repeat the process.

How to eliminate a bad habit

The first step to change a habit is to be aware that you have this habit, well recognize the process you follow from the trigger to the reward.
Finally a habit you have to eliminate any of the 3 parts that make it up:
1. Remove the trigger
If you remove the initial stimulus habit disappears. For example, if you want to quit eating chocolate, pastries and sweets just snap on your home all the goodies you have. If not, you can not eat and your bad habits are replaced over time by healthier habits.
Two. Delete the reply
Remove the answer involves changing your reaction to the stimulus.
An effective way to change your response is to promise someone that you will not repeat more your current behavior. Following the example above, you can promise your partner, friends or colleagues who do not eat sweets or junk food. Your response will change because instead of thinking about eating think of the disappointment of the people around you to see you eat sweets. To make it even more interesting you can promise that every time they see you eating junk food will you pay X amount or X thing in return.
Another alternative is to remind the benefits of your habit not to repeat the negative consequences continue the habit every time you meet with encouragement. Every time you see a candy like recalls will lose weight and gain health if they will not eat and get fat and your health as worse if you eat.
Three. Remove the reward
To remove the reward you must prevent your habits will prove enjoyable. For example you can: Eat dark chocolate, put salt on the cookies for that you find unpleasant or drink beer without alcohol.

Ideas You Can Apply

1. Modify your habits one at a time
If you focus on change your habits one by one have many more chances to succeed if you try to change them all at once. Concentrate your effort.
Two. Replace your bad habits with better habits
A habit exists because it satisfies a need. If you delete a current habit you must be prepared to replace it with another habit. For example, if you smoke because you like having something in your mouth, you can try to chew gum, or eat licorice sticks or lollipops.
Three. Plan and modify your plan
It is essential that you have a written plan on what steps you will take to change your habit. A plan allows you to specify exactly what steps you will take to avoid your old habits and start new. Plan, set your plan in motion and modifies everything that you are not working well.
April. Do not give up
The older your habits are, the harder it will be to change. It is important that if you fail and come back to your old habits do not stop trying. It is normal that your habits are hard to break. Do not give up! If today you do not you could get, you have another chance tomorrow to try.

Self-confidence is important for a fulfilling life

 

self confidence

A healthy and strong self-confidence - which of us does not want that? With a good dose of self-confidence one goes through life carefree.

It has no inhibitions, reach out to others, you have no fear of rejection, criticism and rejection, you dare professionally more and therefore also has more success, you have very little fear of failure , etc.

Unfortunately, the self-confidence of most people has suffered in childhood. Let's see, where a lack or loss of confidence comes.

The cause of low self-confidence

No one comes with a little or a lack of confidence on the world. If we trust us nothing, are shy and inhibited, it is because we have done from an early age experiences that have left us feeling that something is wrong with us and we are inferior.

These experiences are responsible for ensuring that we now carry around a voice with us, who never has a good or kind word left for us, and which I therefore call the inner critic.

The inner critic is constantly trying to attack our self-esteem, our self-esteem and self-confidence.

The inner critic throws us humiliating words to the head like a fool, idiot, loser and a coward or referred to us as stupid, ugly, incapable and weak. So we have constantly suffers strong self-doubts and our self-image.

Our inner critic leaves us to believe that we are inferior, and does nothing to strengthen our confidence, our self-esteem and self-respect. On the contrary: he has only one thing in mind: to make us "small".

No wonder, when our self-esteem and self-confidence are low.

The birth of the inner critic

The critic in us was in our first years of life. In this time we have especially the adults, but also peers, made consciously and unconsciously constantly aware of our faults and weaknesses.

You have punished us with words and repellent behavior when we were not as they demanded it of us: "You're no nothing," "Out of you will never be anything", "With you, you just get angry," "You silly goose "," You have two left hands "," You are bone-idle "," With you there is nothing but trouble "," fatties ".

.

On some days, rained such discouraging and hurtful words like a hailstorm on us.

By the time we got to see us through the eyes of our parents and so to speak to us as once our parents.

This was the birth of the inner critic and a weak self-confidence.

If we want to strengthen our self-confidence, we must learn to try and make themselves and strengthen our self-esteem.

We must itself be a coach who strengthens our confidence in our abilities and we should be supported at side failures, weaknesses and failures.

We must banish the inner critic out of our head and put in its place an encouraging and uplifting voice.

So we have to stop to make ourselves small and convince us that we are worthless or inferior.

Difference between self-confidence, self-esteem & self-confidence

Self-confidence have means

• Can make demands
• Able to express and enforce requirements
• Able to say no
• Compliments can accept
• able to deal with criticism
• can afford to make mistakes
• Can socialize
• can speak his mind
• assert themselves

Is a prerequisite for assertiveness that we have a healthy self-confidence.

Are our self-esteem and self-confidence low, then we have a fear og rejection and not trust us to confidently act to say no, to make demands to communicate our desires, etc.

This means that self-confidence is the foundation of a healthy self-esteem.

Without self-confidence no self-confidence!

What you've always wanted to hear from your parents, siblings or peers, but there have only rarely or not heard? Probably the words were like: "I like you. Dreaming of you. "
We all long for unconditional love. We want to be loved for our own sake.
If you say. "I can only assume if I'm perfect when I have a perfect body when I have achieved this or that," then you are doing exactly what your parents did.
You put conditions on your love to yourself you say to you: "If you're so, then I do not like you. I saw you just love when you change yourself. "
Therefore, it is important that you care for, even if you are not perfect.
If you do depends on your self-esteem from the fact that you're perfect, your self-esteem and self-confidence will not be stable.
Take every day for the next 30 days a few minutes. Put yourself. Before the start of exercise in a good mood by your example you listen Lieblingsmusk This is easier for you to carry out this exercise.
Take a small hand mirror or stand in front of a large mirror. You should do this exercise undisturbed and unobserved. This exercise is likely to cost you the most to overcome - but it is also the most powerful of all and can do wonders.
Put a smile on your lips, watch a few seconds benevolent eyes. Then you say it loud: "Vera" (translated here your first name), "I love you," Let's do these words a few seconds for you..
Then'll tell you 5 things that you're proud of or that you like about yourself. About: "I'm proud of you that you aufbringst the courage to do this exercise. I'm proud of you, that you strive to accept you. I like your beautiful eyes. I think it's great that you care so lovingly for the children. "

TIP 2: Do aware of your successes

Our self-confidence increases with success. Ie, the more success you have personally and professionally, the more you see confirmation that what you are doing correctly and successfully, the more self-confidence grows. Every little success counts, because this gives strength, courage and energy to keep going.
Therefore, it is important that we make ourselves aware of our successes and hide our mistakes.

Use your mistakes and failures to learn from them and then forget them quickly, and turn thee back your successes and strengths.
Look at you constantly in the success role, rather than in the loser role.
To remember past successes and to rejoice, boosts self-confidence and a battered self-esteem.

TIP 3: Note that down what others like about you

Note that down, what other (partner, friend (in), children, work colleagues, supervisor) estimate to you. What compliments you make these people?
My partner likes about me that ...
My kids like about me that ...
My best friend / my best friend likes about me that ...
My work colleagues appreciate me that ...
My boss appreciates me that ...
My father / my mother appreciate me that ...
Calls you these compliments again and again in memory, especially when you doubt yourself and if you want to persuade your critics that you have built again crap and not're okay.
By you calling you remembered what others like about you, you strengthen your self esteem and your low self-esteem.

TIP 4: Stop comparing yourself with other

The habit to compare yourself with others can, your self-confidence do great harm.
Because if you compare yourself with friends, colleagues or strangers who have more than you, who are more popular than you, look better, do more with themselves and their lives, have the skills and talents that you have not, then you envy this may and your self-esteem and your self-confidence suffer.
You feel like you then inevitably inferior and inferior.
To compare themselves with others and to measure is not harmful. You may however, if you compare the bad stack up, do not make the mistake therefore to look at you for less valuable and efficient.
That would be a conclusion that would harm your self-confidence and your self-esteem.
Instead of comparing yourself it is better to look from where you started in your life and what you have learned and achieved everything in the course of your life.

Being successful - with the right attitude it works

Do you know how many successes and triumphs, how much fun and pleasure you are already escaped in your life, because you said: "I can not do that I am too stupid, too clumsy, too little talent, too old, too young. ... "?
Maybe you should be promoted, you have knocked out the post but because you did not trust to be up to the task.
Perhaps you would like to speak English in order to be able to read American books, but think ". I'm not gifted for languages"
But how do you know that you are not gifted not up to the task or the task?
What you lack is self-confidence. And why you're short of it? Because you have a negative self-image and trust nothing.
This undermines your self-confidence and ultimately prevents you from being personally and professionally successful.

Successful people are "I can" thinkers.

They often have no specific intelligence or talent. They are ordinary people who are different from the unsuccessful only in their settings.
Successful people use their skills and are confident to succeed and to achieve their goal. You believe in yourself and success.
A teacher once made an experiment that shows very clearly what power has the image that we have of ourselves.
She went into the class and announced: "It has been found that people with blue eyes are much more intelligent than people with brown eyes."
She gave the blue-eyed students with a sign saying "blue eye" and the brown-eyed students a sign with the words "brown eye".
What do you think happened? The blue-eyed students improved their performance tremendously thereupon, while the brown-eyed students fell off in their performance.
Then the Leherin went to class and announced that she had been wrong. The brown-eyed students were the more intelligent and the starry-eyed the less gifted.
Now the blue-eyed students fell off in their performance and the brown-eyed improved.
When we doubt ourselves, we condemn ourselves to failure or draw our skills are not fully out.
A teacher said a 15-year-olds once, this should leave the school because he was too stupid. The student left school and took up a crafting profession.
17 years later, at the age of 32 years, he was an intelligence test. It turned out that he had an IQ of 160. So he was a highly talented.

QUOTE TO SUCCESS
You can reach only what you think you can achieve.
Therefore, never underestimate your potential and skills.
Rolf Merkle

If we ourselves cajole, when we tell ourselves that we can do something and then we can cheer that and lead to success.
A beautiful example of this is Tommy Haas. At the Australian Open 2007 his soliloquies were recorded during a break.
He was initially very unhappy with himself and his power.
He said to himself: Too many errors. You can not win this. I can not. I do not get it.
Shortly before the game he built himself, however, again, by asking yourself well tried to persuade: I win this match. Fights. He won the match and moved into the semi-finals.
