Why is it so hard to stop a bad habit?

 Hey there,

Today I was reading a really interesting blog post written by an ex-colleague. 

According to Marshall Goldsmith, everybody has at least six to eight habits that need to be stopped. To overcome these bad habits, it is important to learn what type of information is appropriate. More about the bad habits (there are at least 21 of them can be found by clicking this link)

To overcome these bad habits it will be important:

  1. Ask for feedback: change does not happen with negative feedback but with honest and helpfull feedback.
  2. Get feedback on your own from your surroundings and from how people react to you.
  3. Learn to appologize for your bad behavior to the people who matter most to you. By appologizing, you mend broken relationships and overcome negative emotions.
  4. Demonstrate changed behavior or your intention to change your behavior.
  5. Listen more than you speak and listen with respect.
  6. Express gratitude.
  7. Follow up on your progress by asking your coworkers.
  8. Discuss the behavior you are changing to one person and ask them for suggestions in the future. 


and the most important lessons of all:

Gratitude is a skill that we never display too often. And yet for some reason, we are cheap and chary with gratitude. Gratituide is not a limited resource, nor it is costly. It is as abundant as air. We breathe it in but forget to exhale.
