I like what I get used to, even if it's not good for me.

Updated: Sep 30


 

          Please say the following words out loud, “I like what I get used to, even if it’s not good for me.”  Say them again, “I like what I get used to, even if it’s not good for me.” One more time, “I like what I get used to, even if it’s not good for me.”  Do you realize the significance of what you just said? Do you realize that you can like something, or be comfortable with it, even if it is not good for you, or even if it’s a lie? Conversely, you can get to liking something that’s good for you. The good news is you chose. Now let’s discover, believe, and chose, what is good for you … and more over Who is good for you.

          Here is a little exercise you can do. Think of the bad habits that you have, or the ones that you know are not good for you. Also, you can think of the good habits you believe you have. Now ask yourself this question, why do I do this habit? Or, what’s pulling me to do this habit or pattern of believing, thinking, choosing, and doing?

          The point is, when we do something over and over again, we tend to like it, or at least want to do it again. You could say so called addictions, or what society commonly states as addictions, have a correlation to this tendency.


I am your constant companion.

I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden.

I will push you up to success or down to disappointment.

I am at your command.

Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me.

For I can do them quickly, correctly, and profitably.

I am easily managed; just be firm with me.

Those who are great, I have made great.

Those who are failures, I have made failures.

I am not a machine, though I work with the precision of a

machine and the intelligence of a person.

You can run me for profit, or you can run me for ruin.

Show me how you want it done. Educate me. Train me.

Lead me. Reward me. And I will then...do it automatically.

I am your servant.

Who am I?

I am a habit. (Mac Anderson & John J. Murphy)


          Our brains were created to operate habitually much of the time. Look at muscle memory for athletes who are very disciplined and repetitive. Look at smoking, or worrying, or laziness, just to name a few. Our subconscious mind drives our attitudes and actions. If I had to relearn each day how to walk, eat, or go to the washroom, I would really struggle to function. However, we can learn new ways and put them into practice. The more we do something the more we will get used to it, and the more we get used to it, the more we will like it.

          This realization points to our thinking, behaving, and moreover our believing. Believing is powerful. Many authors, speakers, and gurus have realized this. What we focus on manifests. We create what we believe and focus on. If I fear rejection I will create rejection. If I focus on the wrong thing, the selfish thing, or the harmful thing, I’ll probably realize consequences that aren’t so beneficial.

          Many people have said it’s about a mindset. Let’s take a closer look at what a mindset is about. There are various ways our mind works.
