EASY TO SLIP INTO, DIFFICULT TO DROP - BY YOUTH YOUCAT COACH


In the Youcat (Youth Catechism) Book no. 292 margin, the words of Soren Kierkegaard stands as a perfect introductory note to this short write up.
" If a man is truly to will what is good, he must be willing to do everything for that good or be willing to suffer anything for that good."

There is something about habits; it is easy to slip into but very difficult to drop.  Apart from the "Grace" of God  that will definitely see you through this year, *You need to be self motivated to get out of habits, habits that have become very dangerous for your system.
One of the keys to achieving defeat to your "bad habits" would be to

* Write them down, when you wake up each morning speak words of victory over them. Words are powerful.

In fact say to those habits; Pull a "francis otega" on them

"Now let me tell you som', Cos you don know norh, You know what you are: EP, Enemy of progress; Gerara hia, mahn, for real,
You know worram am saying, infact In Ibo, Si eba puo" (Lols, Woollop)

*Let's get serious joor. Share with a counselor to help you monitor your progress and ensure commitment in your pursuit of positive change; #Have Spiritual Directions.

*On a cursory look, another way is to design a plan of action how you would be a Victor, this will make your resolution for change achievable. This reminds me of the words of a Social Psychologist, Prof. Roy Baumeister of Florida State University..."setting beautiful resolutions could be exciting but if not bounded by rational rational and achievable metrics, the actualization could be frustrating."

*Believe in yourself. Believing in and commending oneself is necessary to achieving set goals. When you make progress yourself for it.

*Review your progress constantly. Create the habit of taking an audit of your behavior , this will help you abstain from the ones that are not favourable to you.

*Finally, don't loose interest or give up too easily. Yes, it happens that within the shortest time after you've made a genuine decision to stop that old bad habit, the excitement may wear off and other unplanned negative priorities begin to take precedence-- don't give up. Fight harder and conquer it.

This year keep yourself on track, Use the power of positive reinforcement to keep your momentum going.

Remember these:
* Accountability
*Commitment
*Write down your goals.
