Bad habits:
1. giving people the time of day (need to blow them off more often)
2. occasionally liking people (working on breaking that habit)
3. posting in stupid forum threads
Sorry, none of them are changeable. You got to live with them:nowink:
Another bad habit; doubting myself when put into situations that cause me to have extensive interaction with strangers.
Very good one! Thanks
Johannmaximus for bringing this point. yes this is something I am working with my bigger boy.
Here is some of solutions.
In terms of our self, it is lack of confidence or security in ourselves and our judgments. This doubt is often based in our low self-confidence, fear, cautiousness and mistrust. Because of that, doubt can hold us back from making choices or taking risks that will propel us to that next level. Beyond questioning our self, doubt comes in the form of incessant chatter that distracts us from following our instincts or taking a leap of faith. At its best, doubt makes us cautious and careful in our decision-making. At its worst, it keeps us from making a decision at all and instead has us spinning in a circle of uncertainty, waffling and inaction.
Ways to overcome
1/ let go of fear and become fearless. Great example, Jet-Li (look at the movie titled Fearless)
It could be fear of failure, fear of change, fear of discomfort, fear of what others think. Fear prevents us from going where we want to go. When we become fearless we allow ourselves to take on opportunities or put ourselves into situations that involve risk. When there is risk, we open ourselves up to making mistakes. When you give yourself permission to make a mistake, you allow yourself to learn and grow.
2/ Practice positive thoughts throughout the day. Take small risks, set small goals to create a success. To do this you must set the bar so low at first that you can’t help but get over it. Be realistic in your expectations.
3/ Surround yourself with a support system that builds up your confidence. Your friends, your training partners, your relatives
4/ Have faith in yourself. Faith is a confident belief or trust in yourself. When you have faith, you cannot have doubt.
Right now,
Right here...
Trust that it will be worth the time and do the work to make the change.
Something I have to adjust myself is that I have heard most developed countries have disadvantage of no "Patience".
Changing a habit takes time and patience.
Good Luck any one that is suffering this problem.
