About Changing Habits

Some important things to consider about the habits we want to change: nno habits are difficult to change and yet they can be changed nno sometimes its best to take major steps and change a habit (i.e. either you're a smoker or not smoking) nno many times making "adjustments" works best (i.e. you want an uncluttered home, its important to start "somewhere") nno when we purposely break old habits, we may grieve research shows that it takes at least 21 days to change a habit nno an empty space is left where the old habit used to be fill the empty space with a new habit or something from your WOW List http://www.coachmaria.com/wowlist.html

There is a recovery program slogan called the 3 A's - Awareness, Acceptance, Action. It's a wonderful process for change. Below is my coaching slant on using that slogan to makes changes or "adjustments" in your life. nno you become aware of what is going on, what you're doing, how you're action etc. nno you accept and become responsible for the "habit", in your heart, just the way it is nno you take action, find solutions, create a process, make steps, and start changing!

Change into the person you are meant to be!
