Habit - A Best and the worst ! ! !

India
February 18, 2012 1:10pm CST
Hello myLotters, It is been a very long time since I have started a new discussion. Hope this one will be useful. Just a thought flashed in me to learn a new habit atleast a month. So I was just thinking and I couldn't make anything perfect. If you could name some of the best habits you have and their benefits, me and our fellow myLotters can start that one. For me, one of the best which I consider is reading. I am just trying this one everyday. I feel hard to do this but love to do it as this is making me feel good and comfortable esp., in discussions both official and social gatherings. Everyone have some habits like reading everyday, blogging, exercise, scheduling daily plan activities and much more.. Please share some as it will be very useful for us. Also if you could post one of the worst habit you have or you consider as the worst you are welcome to post it here. I consider the worst habit is the habit of procrastination. This makes my tommorrow makes even worse than the previous. I hope this discussion will make you something to write and also to make others to lead a successful life. Cheers..... Have a great weekend.......

Hi Phillip, Glad to have you back with new discussion :) To me, one of the good habit I wish to apply this year will be 'to become a good listener' and discuss matters more constructively. The bad habit to stay away, I think is 'gossip', it is not healthy at all. However, I truly agree with, "procrastination" is a bad habit that we should get rid off immediately in order to live a successful life

Hi Iriene, Glad to see you again in my discussions. Some of the great friends I have earned here quickly identified me. Thanks again. Yes I hope I am already a good listener but I will not discuss matters in a more perfect way. Also gossiping is one I too do. Thanks for pointing out that. Will try to get rid out of that. Thanks for sharing.

hi phillip well I made a new habit for me, being happy in spite of not being where I were I wanted to be. We always think I will be happy when or if but you have to make yourself happy daily. to be 'content where you are is another habit I have picked up. I love to read and listen to music so those are good habits I have always had. Not fighting back is a bad habit as I hate confrontations and often'just let something wrong that was done to me go. I hate fighting about things.Leaving the door open to our room here is a bad habit I am trying to break. no need to let others see we are not in.Although I think most here at G old Crest retirement center are honest, I have no way of knowing how true that is. several of my possessions have walked off.

Hi Hatley, Glad to see you again on my discussions. Being happy with lovely environment is always a good habit. Also to be content with where you are and what you have are some of the best habits to be followed. It is really hard but is a great quality habit. Thanks for your response. Cheers....

I think I have several habits I consider to be the worst. I often postpone doing things. This is probably because of my laziness I can not get out of. I am not that well-organized type of person. I am just wondering if I can get myself improved.

Hi yanzalong, when you accept your bad habit and try to get rid of that, you are already half way to the road to good habit. Just start one thing little by little and increase the pace. Hope the site lifeoptimizer.org will help you in some way. I get some encouragement from that site. Cheers.. Thanks for sharing...

Most of myLotters have bad habits as well as good. Bad habits are easy to cultivate. But good habits takes years to learn. For starters, try to cultivate the good habit of reading. Go slow by reading at least one book a week or even a month. Then try to give up at least one habit at a time say, smoking. Cheers.

Hello, phillip_shiny! I have a lot of best and worst habits, but this one is making me insane. I have been doing this for so many years now. This is I think the worst among the worst. I can't live without a chatmate. It's indeed very expensive for I always see to it that I have enough load in my cellphone to always text my chatmate. Sometimes, I also make calls. Good thing there are already an unlimited calls and texts offered by my provider. It helps me save some money. But before, there was no unlimited texting and calls. I wonder how I survived for I never ran out of load that time. Chatting through cellphone is the only way which can always comfort me. It's also one of the ways why I can't save enough money. How sad!

Hope you would not forget the friend who is physically present next to you while chatting. As I have some friends who will forget everything when they are with their cell phone. Thanks for sharing... Your best habit??

There's no one here that's why I'm always so sad. My real friends already have their own family and we no longer see each other like before. My best is also my worst. Yes. I always love to help. Of course, money is not included here for I am now very poor. The problem with my way of helping is that I am giving too much help that sometimes, the person who sought for my help no longer needs any more help, but I am still insisting to help. Yes. It's really bad.

Thanks for sharing back. The help you do is counted and that really is a great habit. Too much help becomes miserable in someways.... People in my town used o say that "help me or not but don't give tribulation"...

They say it takes 21 days of doing something everyday for it to become a habit. If you want a good thing to become a habit in your life, it takes discipline to go through those 21 days. But if you're doing something you love, then it won't be a problem.

Lovely quote and a good find. I hope if we follow the toughest the 2nd and the 4th day we will surely go through a distance in our habit. Because 2nd and the 4th day seems to be tough to follow. Thanks for the response. Cheers... happy myLotting.

hi. conduct self-examination everyday according to the Bible to see if something deviates from right courses. it's easy to do it several times,but it does no good.only by doing it frequently,can one educate himself,making himself mature.

Hi Archaiwy, Self-examination is a very good habit to follow. Hope you will be practicing everyday. How about a worst habit you get rid off. Anything to share... Thanks for the response. Cheers.
