You can’t ‘break’ a Habit.<\/p>\n

The latest research indicates we never<\/strong> get rid of the patterns \/pathways that are \/cause habits.<\/p>\n

So what to do?<\/p>\n

Well, first ignore<\/strong> the fact that you fall into a habit pattern. (“Here I go, again!”) <\/em><\/p>\n

To repeat: you automatically<\/em> do this!<\/p>\n

Don’t blame yourself.<\/p>\n

Just ignore it.<\/p>\n

And deliberately create a new pathway with a desired<\/strong> response. \u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It takes 21 days to successfully create a new pathway.<\/p>\n

This is for your protection!<\/p>\n

If it takes less time — someone sits with you for a day or two (a weekend, say) and you end up programmed …by them<\/span>! \u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, for your safety, it takes 21 days to program yourself. \u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And remember, you can just as easily trigger the old program as the new.<\/p>\n

However, with this new research \/understanding, NOW you CAN say to yourself, with a great deal of patience, what you really want is this new pathway you created \/are creating.<\/p>\n

Rather than lose hope, feel bad, think you’re a loser, give up etc. (Which in itself is also self-programming!) <\/em><\/p>\n

Fairly quickly the new one becomes the dominant one. \u00a0<\/p>\n
