My bad habits don't fit into a neat 3 list like yours do, but I have found that, for me, success comes with reinforcement. I downloaded a free ebook, <a href="http://29daysto.com/register/email.cfm/" rel="nofollow"> 29 DAYS... to a habit you want! </a> by Richard Fast , that has given me the chance to have that support without having to talk about things with my family or friends, who would judge my attempts and nag me in a way that would make me very unhappy.

I too avoid conflict when it comes to my personal life. I tend to get bored quickly(like to have variety). Lastly, I have a slight case of ADD because I tend to over multitask and don't stay focused on any one project for more than 20 minute rotation. For instance right now, I am working on the notes for a presentation, but then decided to look at your blog and now I'm writing a response. I have a timer that I supposed to use to help me stay focused on the task at hand so I guess I better go get it right now. Thank goodness this ability to multi-task works on the day of an event when you have to focus on numerous things at once. Good habits, a good sense of humor with the ability to laugh at myself frequently. I normallly try to see the good in people. I easily adapt to my surroundings and situations. I love playing with crafts and those things that bring out my creative side. I always want to help others which sometimes can be to a fault because I put myself to the side until way later. I also want to say I am truly inspired by the fact that you write your blog everyday and share with us a window into who you are as a person. Also, thanks for the wonderful advice.

I have to admit that I've gotten a lttle bit sidetracked going through and looking at a few of your posts... I ought to probably be doing work. You have got some good insights here, so I'm going to add you to my Google Reader for the future. All the best!

I have been actively working on my good habits for the pass two years and I can tell its working because I truly feel better. Good Habits 1. I listen to or read something motivational or inspirational every single day. Depending on time it could be something as small as reading a quote to listening to a DVD from individuals like Wayne Dyer, Bob Proctor, Michael Beckwith or John Assaraf. Its amazing how this has started to help me change the inner language I use when talking to mysefl. 2. Affirmation every day! Love them 3. When I turned 40 last year I made myself a promise that I would be open to trying new things and experiencing life. When I was younger I would always order the same things when I went out to eat. Now I make it a point to try a new dish or food from different countries. I love Thai & Japenese food! Who knew..lol Bad Habits: Is there enough room...lol just kidding..lol 1. Fear! is my biggest bad habit and I totally get what you mean it can be paralyzing. I am actively working on changing my mindset. I am definitely starting to believe fear is what they say False Evidence Appearing Real. Once I say that phrase to myself and askl myself is what am fearing real I can see I make things worse than they really are. 2. I procrastinate! Especially with things I don't like. I know whatever I need to do is not going away, but I put things off until it has to be done. 3. Self doubt this is something I know holds me back and I have just started an affirmation for it. I do believe if I know what my bad habits are they can be change and thats a very good thing. Hi Preston…I like this post this is a good one.

Now I write down my ideas as soon as I think of them including during the middle of the night for a fabulous idea. Bad habit: Wanted most everything to be perfect – I now strive not to be a perfectionist.- I get so much more accomplished Bad habit: I had a problem saying “no” – I’m working on it ….LOL Good habit: Taught myself not to invest too much time into negative people.- . Good habit: I don’t get bored (especially looking at pictures in magazines) and I have always liked my personality. Smiling doesn’t take much effort for me Good habit: I have always been a great listener but it caused a problem. I got tired of listening to people’s problems and complaints about their lives. It was usually repeat problems and repeat complaints. I had to learn not to be a good listener and train myself to give the appearance that I am too busy to listen. I’m still a great listener but these days I choose when and what I want to hear. I can’t remember being addicted to anything but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t wanted something badly …like having a favorite pair of jeans or a favorite dessert. I’ve never smoked and I’ve never had a craving for alcohol but please do not think of me as boring. I do enjoy a fun glass of sangria wine when my mother-in-law offers it to me on a visit to her house. And then she always manages to refill my glass when I leave the room for a moment…LOL I don’t crave junk foods but when I want to indulge it is a special fun treat to go somewhere and enjoy a bite. I don't like clutter and I like to clean my work space as I work. Some people hold off on cleaning their mess until the very end of their project. I feel more energized in a clean work space.
