How do you change your habits? Post # 255

How do you change your habits?.When i want to change a habit, the first thing I do is pray about it. I may even try to research about changing the habit. Yes, I am a researcher type of person. Then I may try to examine why I have the habit in the first place. I try to get at the root of why I have the behavior or habit. It no doubt stems from an underlying problem that also needs to be changed. Then I strategize and use organization to try to change my ways. i continue to pray, and converse with God about the change I wish to make. I ask Him for His help and guidance. When I have decided upon my course of action I will often “go public” (to someone or to multiple people) with my resolution. Yes, sometimes I do that so that the person(s) will hold my feet to the fire and make me accountable. But lately I do so to make me hold mySELF accountable. Maybe I am maturing after all these years!
