Have Realistic Expectations

Have Realistic expectations of habit change.

When you decide to change a bad habit, there are two things to remember:

1) It will take longer than you expect
2) It will be more difficult than you would prefer

However…

1) It won’t take as long as you fear
2) It won’t be as difficult as you think

Finally, if you focus on the behaviors you’re changing – rather than the results they are generating – the whole process will be much more pleasant.
