Building better habits

If you are like most of us!,you too want to change or quite some of your bad habits and want to build a better habits which will ultimately not only make your life better but will also make you a better human being.

So why do we have habits ?

As scientists say, - because the brain is constantly looking for ways to save effort. Left to its own devices, the brain will try to make almost any routine into a habit, because habits allow our minds to ramp down more often. This effort-saving instinct is a huge advantage. An efficient brain requires less room, which makes for a smaller head, which makes childbirth easier and therefore causes fewer infant and mother deaths. An efficient brain also allows us to stop thinking constantly about basic behaviors .
A lot of our daily actions are automatic as like our brain works on autopilot that's how it saves energy ,
what brain does is to convert a sequence of actions into automatic routine which is the root of cause of  forming habits.

Formation Process

The brain will try to make any routine into a habit because of it's amazing adaptability which is called "Neuroplasticity". Building or Breaking a habit is all about rewiring your brain.

The more often you perform an action or behave a certain way, the more it gets physically wired into your brain.

Your brain forms neuronal connections based on what you do repeatedly in your life — both good and bad.

This process within our brains is a three-step loop. First, there is a cue, a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode and which habit to use. Then there is the routine, which can be physical or mental or emotional. Finally, there is a reward, which helps your brain figure out if this particular loop is worth remembering for the future: Over time, this loop—cue, routine, reward; cue, routine, reward—becomes more and more automatic. The cue and reward become intertwined until a powerful sense of anticipation and crav­ing emerges. Eventually… a habit is born.

How to stop/quit?

First of all increase your distance from it - Which basically means making it difficult for you to get (if it's consumption one) or do bad thing (like masturbating).

The mindset -In a day remind yourself that you have quit it and you are happy with it (after some time you should feel those with your heart)

example-- if your are a smoker or drinker think something like

I have quit smoking and life feels so much better!

 Drinking never made feel good but quitting it does!

 if you are too addictive give yourself a challenge that

"you can always get back to it whenever you want to but why now "  

Changing your attitude towards it and giving yourself some reputation will help you to get over it .
                                       

The Choice is all yours !

                                      

Building Better ones 

Just learn to enjoy it and make it easy to do it for yourself  

example-- you want to go running or gym 

"find yourself a partner or do it alone ,enjoy your workout routine "

Yes at first it will be little difficult but when you will enjoy it ,it will become your habit 

you want to pull-ups -install a pull-up bar at a place where you can easily do it often

The whole point is to make it easy for you to do it !.

how you do it ,it depends upon you.
