HABIT Affirmations

HABIT Affirmations

It is relatively easy to create new positive habits. All that is required is to practice the desired action daily, until, through repetition, it becomes hard-wired into the subconscious mind. Some say this process takes 21 days; others say 30. From experience I have found that it takes as long as it takes… depending on how much reprogramming is involved and how often one practices.

Getting rid of an old, unwanted habit is not quite so easy. It all depends on how long it has been a part of your life. The most effective way to eliminate an old habit is to find a new empowering one to replace it with. For example, if you want to quit biting your fingernails, a positive replacement habit might be to give yourself a daily manicure. A few minutes every morning to file and buff (and polish, if you are a woman) and a few minutes at night to clean and condition would be an excellent start.

With a little creative thought, one can easily find a suitable new habit to displace the old one. But don’t forget you need to repeat the new habit every day. And of course, when using affirmations please ensure that you confine your ‘affirming’ to the new behaviour and all of the positive results it will bring.
