How many bad habits do you have? Do you ever think about your habits – good or bad? Most of us don’t give our habits a second thought, which is why we sometimes find ourselves overweight and have no idea how we got there.
Habits are a learned response, something we learn to do by repetition and practice. Habits get hotwired onto our brain and there they stay. We cannot change them or amend them.
Habits are extremely useful because they allow us to do routine or mundane tasks without thinking – we do them automatically. This frees up our brain to think about more important things. Habits make us more efficient. We couldn’t do without them.
However, what our brain does not do is to differentiate between what is a good habit and a bad one. Over time we accumulate good habits and bad ones, but we are never totally aware of our habits because we take little time to make ourselves aware of our habits. We fail to ‘notice’. We have very low levels of self awareness.
If we are to get slim, we have to make ourselves aware of our bad habits. If we do, we are then able to make changes in our life to rid ourselves of our bad habits. How is this done? By learning new habits: learning new habits, habits that supersede, and take preference over the habits that we have hotwired onto our brain, is the only to make successful change. When we learn new eating and lifestyle habits we can make permanent weight loss a reality. Make no mistake though, without change, without learning new habits – slim habits, there can be no permanent weight loss.
