Bad habits steal the moment

Henry Miller said:

“Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music—the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls, and interesting people. Forget yourself.”

Nothing dies harder than a bad habit. We are aware that we do something that is not good for us because of the small voice in our heads that nags us. It whispers when we lit a cigarette, pour an extra glass of wine, or stand in front of the fridge eating ice cream directly from the container because we are nervous.

To change any behavior, it is helpful to know why you must get rid of the old habits. A positive payback comes in the form of a healthier lifestyle, more energy, joy, and tranquility of emotional soberness, a slimmer body. You begin to treat yourself more kindly as you become intimate with your authentic self and see a gleam of the person you are inside. When you renounce of the bad habits, you will feel comfort and hear the encouragement coming from the ones around you. This way, instead of reaching for an extra glass of wine you will enjoy a refreshing glass of water and lemon. Instead of snacking each time you enter the kitchen, you will only eat what you have on your plate.

We spent too much time robbing ourselves of precious moments when we can nurture our creativity. As long as we will cling to bad habits, we will steal from our potential to improve the world around us.

Love,

Henry Miller a spus:

“Dezvolta un interes in viata asa cum o vezi; in oameni, lucruri, muzica—lumea este atat de bogata, pulsand cu bogatii, suflete minunate, si oameni interesanti. Uita de tine.”

Nimic nu moare mai greu decat o obisnuinta rea. Suntem constienti ca facem ceva care nu este bun pentru noi deoarece vocea aceea mica din capul nostru ne necajeste. Ne sopteste atunci cand aprindem o tigara, cand turnam inca un pahar de vin, sau cand stam in fata frigiderului mancand inghetata direct din cutie pentru ca suntem nervosi.

Este bine sa stii de ce trebuie sa scapi de vechile obiceiuri ca sa poti schimba un comportament. Un rezultat pozitiv iti adduce un mod de viata mai sanatos, mai multa energie, bucurie, sobrietate emotionala, un corp mai subtire. Incepi sa te tratezi cu mai multa blandete cand te descoperi pe tine insuti si vezi o licarire a persoanei care esti. Cand renunti la obiceiurile rele, te simti mult mai comfortabil si auzi incurajarile celor din jur. Astfel, in loc sa apuci inca un pahar de vin, te bucuri de un pahar cu apa si lamaie. In loc sa mananci de fiecare data cand intri in bucatarie, mananci numai ce ai pe farfurie.

Petrecem prea mult timp privandu-ne de momente pretioase cand putem sa ne cultivam creativitatea. Atata timp cat depindem the obiceiuri rele, rapim din potentialul nostru de a imbunatati lumea din jurul nostru.
