Habits
At Choice Awareness Management, we present ideas and concepts which challenge your current belief systems - to gain awareness of other possibilities.
Background
We believe being challenged possesses goodness and offers us insight and understanding: we can learn, we can excel, we can freeze, we can delight, etc.
We know that you can name at least fifty more results than we have presented here - we invite you to enlarge this list right now as an experiment for thinking-on-your-feet - please stand up :-)) We think of being challenged as a competition, which gets us motivated by raising our energy levels and allowing us to be more alert and connected to our beliefs.
(Wisdom Side) We think the term habit carries a neutral but mostly negative connotation because many times, the pattern (i.e., habit) is not associated with an on-purpose belief. Still, merely a tactic repeated over again until it becomes rote: many times unconnected to a purpose.
This image suggests habits grow: we place it here to focus your attention to the language and connotation of habits and we respectfully disagree
From a negative connotation, we perceive habits as unfavorable, hence "Bad Habits" and believe that building upon these only lead to more of them - see the photo close by depicting the growth of habits. Also, please notice the trough or well the habit path comes from - we believe there are inherent qualities associated with the word habit. It, too, has the mental capability of recycling people back into the well.
New Language Opportunity
The negative is not always accurate because we have seen habits sometimes aligned with belief. Yet, from our experiences and that of others, we know that it takes a concentrated and committed effort to implement and practice consistently under the banner of habit - this becomes too much work effort.
For those science fans, we have seen the healthcare industry publish massive data (research studies, etc.) on the difficulty in overcoming bad habits. We perceive it as exercises in futility.
Whether good or bad, we prefer to use the words effective or not effective. We encourage the removal of the name "habit" from our language since we wish to promote the more favorable terms methods or practices. This language works better in grasping the essentials about an overall active intention, belief, choice, action, or result/faith. This language replacement has a positive and inherent capacity to keep people above the ground (i.e., out of the trough).
To help you make a change stick in your life requires working beliefs and faith combined with a process: understand more about it.
