A Shove with Love -- A Kickstart to Change
Posted by: Dr. Mercola
July 03 2008 | 980 views

Everyone has behaviors and habits that they need to change, and from time to time you may need a little encouragement and support, and possibly a vigorous shove, to get under way.

Many people wait for the magical and mythical ‘right time’ -- but that time doesn’t exist.

So today, identify one habit which you really need to change right now. Not when it suits you, but now. It might be about food or exercise, it could be alcohol or drug related, it could have something to do with how you treat yourself or others, it might pertain to work, home or somewhere else. It may have something to do with how you deal with or react to certain situations, circumstances, events or people. It might be about your lifestyle, your finances, your long-term goals or perhaps some other kind of destructive habit.

Start with one habit, because people who try to undo years of bad behaviors in a short amount of time invariably fail. Instead, take one habit and change it in four weeks -- 28 days.

Now, write down the following:

  1. The habit you’re going to address over the 28 days.
  2. Why it’s necessary for you to change that habit.
  3. Why it will be different this time.

Now, stop over-thinking, get off the fence, and do something amazing over the next 28 days.
