Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration


The focus for today is:  I choose to be aware of my thoughts and habitual actions.


Habits can be another form of rigidity and resistance to change. Some habits are helpful, as in brushing your teeth after a meal, or taking a walk at a certain time, or automatically securing your seat belt in the car. But some habits, as we all know, are not healthy or helpful. Habits like smoking, eating junk food, and not exercising -- yes, not doing something can also be a habit -- rhese are not a helpful.


Habits are often a case of getting in a rut and taking the path of least resistance...whatever we are used to doing, saying, and thinking. It takes determination and willpower to resist a habit and make a change. A habit is a subconscious pattern, so the way to move out of it is to start being conscious of our every moment -- being present in the moment, rather than running on autopilot.

Make your conscious focus be: I choose to be aware of my thoughts and habitual actions. It might help to turn off all exterior noises so that you can hear yourself think... This will allow you to hear the mental chatter that will precede the habit taking form. and then that will help you stop the rote behavior. You will be aware of the choice you are making, before you unconsciously or consciously make it.

Today's Focus was excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:
