Introduction

Iwant to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the book, GATEWAY TO SERENITY Break Bad Habits & Improve Good Ones .

One of the most difficult goals to accomplish is one that relates to breaking a habit. A habit is a repetitive pattern that you have learned through repetition, often unconscious.

Habits can be hard to defeat as they work at an unconscious stage. They are an unwanted reaction to a certain cause. You follow a pre-wired plan as soon as the trigger happens, which never comes into your conscious mind.

It can be very difficult to attempt to resolve habits through willpower and determination. The action sometimes does not even reach your consciousness to allow you to put your willpower into practice.

A new habit is the easiest way to replace an old habit. It took us a couple of measures to get to our old habit. Eventually, if we practice a new response for some time, it will also become a habit and replace the previous habit. There is a hypothesis that developing a habit requires 21 days. 21 days is a small price to pay, given the lifetime of rewards you will get from overcoming a habit.

For instance, assume that walking to the fridge and eating a chocolate bar is your unhealthy habit any time something stressful happens in your day. You decide to change your habit of being unhealthy.

For 21 days in a row, going to the kitchen and chopping up fresh vegetables to place in containers in your fridge is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning. During this time, you also commit to not getting any chocolate in your fridge.

Now you grab a container of vegetables instead when you feel stressed and you walk to the refrigerator. It would be beneficial to imagine your new approach and the outcome you seek to change the habit. Suppose your unhealthy habit is smoking, as a further example. You light up any time you sense the urge to smoke.

You could wear a rubber band around your wrist to help overcome the habit and if you feel like a cigarette, flick your wrist for 21 days with the rubber band instead.

Your brain will soon have a distinct cigarette-related unconscious result and habit. It would be beneficial to imagine both your new approach and the outcome you seek to change the habit (for example breathing freely and easily).

Another thing that you can do to conquer the tendency is to consider the stimuli that enable the unconscious technique to run. It helps you to stop the triggers by understanding what triggers your behaviors and thus shut down the unconscious answer before it begins.

It is time for some soul searching for authenticity if you have tried the above methods and yet find that you cannot change the habit. The habit that you are unable to give up has some secondary gain associated with it.

In other words, you perceive implicitly that the benefits you get from this habit outweigh the drawbacks of maintaining the habit. If this appears to be the case, your habit may not be genuinely inspired to shift.

In this case, the best thing you can do is recognize the advantages of maintaining the habit and find some way to obtain those same benefits. Only then can you have your unconscious mind's consent to continue with the transition.

This GUIDE explores effective strategies to get rid of old and bad habits and replacing with new and good ones.

Thanks again for downloading this book, I hope you enjoy it!
