Constantly Persistent

I looked up the definition to the word Habit…thanks for that convenience, internet!
The word habit has many words attached to it:
ü  Additive
ü  Behavior Pattern
ü  Regular Disposition
ü  Mental Character
ü  Particular Practice

We all have habits. Habits can become our norm. But is our norm considered norm for someone else?

We can develop habits and not remember how we picked that habit up. We can develop habits as a way to cope with stress and pressure. We can easily develop new habits, and we challenge at unraveling old habits.

It seems as though we tend to hear the word habit and associate it with a negative action. But, there are a lot of healthy habits to focus on:

ü  Peace
ü  Patience
ü  Positive Thinking
ü  Eating Right
ü  Exercise

These are a few examples of healthy habits. But habits have to be developed. If you want peace, then you have to develop the habit of practicing peace. Practice peace until it becomes your norm.

The secret to any healthy living habit is persistence. Persistence in your area of desired norm will help you see results. Constantly be aware of your environment, and look for ways to practice your new habit.
You may find some patience in traffic or while cooking dinner. You may be faced with a gloomy situation, but decide to practice having a positive outcome.

Persistence and consistency are your victory utensils in cooking up the renewed you. 

"What is harder than rock, or softer than water? Yet soft water hollows out hard rock. Persevere."

This quote is true, and it proves that even the hardest surface can change…just never give up! Thanks for helping me find that quote, internet!
