The 4 Agreements: Breaking Old Habits

Habits cannot be eliminated, they must be replaced

by the new positive habits you want to adopt. 

You must fill the void left by the old and costly habit. 

If that void is not filled, the nasty habit of old will return,

this time more vicious than before. 

Then doubt will begin to creep into your mind. 

You will begin to think about yourself as a failure

because you failed to change your negative habits.

Start by breaking the smaller habits that require less willpower. 

As you succeed with the smaller habits, you will gain the courage

and the confidence to deal with the bigger and more ingrained,

vicious habits.  You have to know which habits you want to change before you can change them.  Filter out the beliefs and habits

that are taking you away from your goals and stealing your happiness.

Do it.  Then do it again, and again, and again

until it becomes your way of life.

You can choose to believe in anything. 

And that includes believing in yourself.

You can choose to take control of your emotions

and to refrain from fueling emotions that come from fear.

Pay no mind to the past... 

Stop doing things just to please others,

just to be accepted by others.

Do things and take actions that help you achieve your goals.
