may we meet again

the more we are willing to accept what is and not what we thought, we will find ourselves exactly where we belong.

How to Break a Habit

1. Make up your mind to do things differently. Make the decision to turn this thing around. You have all the power you need, and you can make this work for you.

2. Decide to only work on one habit at a time. That focuses your mind, and your will to succeed.

3. Design a plan that is attractive and rewarding. If the pain exceeds the gain then you may not persevere. There must be something that’s enticing to make it seem worthwhile.

4. Nuke your negative thinking. You know that things will be tough and you’ll be tempted to give up – but plan in advance so you can push through trying times. For example, imagine how you’ll feel when you are living differently, and you’ve broken with the habit, and are basking in success.

5. Know the worst times of day, and the times you struggle most. Then come up with a plan so you cope better with those. But … make sure your ideas work, and are attractive enough, as it’s hard to keep on going when we’re low on energy.

6. Keep it simple. A harsh or complex plan can be too hard to implement. But making simple changes feels much more doable. (Also, remind yourself “it’s easy; this is something I can do.”)

7. Notice your successes. And reward yourself with that. Your effort’s paying off – and you are closer to your goal.

Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th century Roman castle located near Bavaria in Germany. It’s one of the most spectacular looking castles in the whole world due to the fact that it is surrounded by the landscape of the Apls, making it look like it belongs in a fairytale.

Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.
