Kick that BAD Habit to the Curb!

Habits are those things we do over and over without thinking. That’s why the best way to break a habit is to think! It sounds simple enough, right? Simply focus on changing the behavior. Yet that habit lives on! Instead of focusing on the bad habit, start focusing on the way you’re thinking about the behavior. Consider: When and How When and how does it occur? Most habits only occur under certain situations that you can avoid or change altogether. If those are not options, then change what you bring into the situation. Look for a pattern that you can change. What What’s in it for you? What is that habit doing for you? Most habits, even annoying and harmful ones, serve (or once served) a purpose. Whatever the behavior it has/had a positive benefit and, though that benefit may be long gone, the behavior lives on. However, before eliminating a habit, be sure you aren't eliminating a useful benefit. Want Think about what you want instead. One of the best ways to break a habit is to replace it with something else. If you're going to go through the effort of kicking a habit to the curb, why not make sure you end up with a better habit? For example, if you want to break the habit of eating a bowl of ice cream every night, replace it with a walk around the block.        Your Flooring Consultant For Life,           Matt Capell           President of Capell Flooring and Interiors
