You Are Not Alone

March 17, 2014 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Note: We recently launched of a seminar series, “Five Things You Must Know To Make Your Life Better.”  As part of that series, one of the things we went over were the “10 Commandments of Changing Habits.” This is one of those “commandments.”

Accept thy journey is not alone

People holding hands

You run your own life.

If you want to change it, you have to take responsibility for where you are and where you’re going.

However, realize that those most closely tied to you will have to adjust, and they might – or might not – want to.

Keep others informed.

Don’t Listen to Pressure

Listen not to the pressure of others…

Change because you want to or you need to, not because of external pressure.

It’s perfectly OK to stay where you are and continue to engage in your behaviors. However, own it.

Realize that is your choice and you are making it.

This gives you the power to change later – should you so choose.

Do You Enjoy Your Bad Habits?

March 6, 2014 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Note: We recently launched of a seminar series, “Five Things You Must Know To Make Your Life Better.”  As part of that series, one of the things we went over were the “10 Commandments of Changing Habits.” This is one of those “commandments.”

Thou shalt enjoy the benefits of thy habits.

This might – at first – seem counter intuitive.

However, the habit you are trying to change provides a benefit; that’s why you started it.  However, when the side effect of the benefit is more painful than the pleasure, it’s time to say goodbye.

You were doing the best you knew how to do. Now, you know more and you have decided to change. “Bless” the habit, rather than curse it.

Wish it well. Move on.

Your Life is Yours to Run (or Not)

Thy Life is Thine Own Creation

You set up your life to get what you are; it is not a fluke of nature.
It took work and planning, possibly unintentionally, but you built it. If it no longer serves you, you have to undo it.

However, since you built it – you can unbuild it.

However, you built it slowly, day by day, step by step.

Be patient while you rearrange it. It will take time.

You Are Complete As You Are

10-commandments

Thou Art Complete From the Beginning

You are fine just the way you are. You are entitled to be happy even if you have bad habits.

If you are changing your habits to be a “better person,” there’s no need.

If you are changing your habits to be a happier or healthier person, go for it.
