Kick Your Bad Habits

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

A few weeks ago at the POC Conference in Calgary I listened to keynote speaker, Les Hewitt, author of The Power of Focus.  He was amazing and I learned a great deal listening to him.  One topic that really resonated with me was habits and how they determine your future. 

According to Les Hewitt, 47% of my everyday behavior is habitual and it’s extremely important to be aware of what habits are not working for me.   I need to remember I can change any habit if I really want to.  That’s the tough part. 

So I made a list of my bad habits and one of mine was focusing on what I didn’t want.  Isn’t that strange?  To focus on what you don’t want, rather than what you do want.  And I found myself doing it all the time.  So since the presentation, I have been focusing on what I really want and its amazing what happens when you focus.  Thank you Les! 

So what are your bad habits and what can you commit to letting go of in the new year?  We would love to hear from you.
