Breaking Free from Deadly Habits







“HABITS can’t be easily stopped; They can be easily Replaced with another HABIT”
- The Catalyst
According to the catalyst, an African leading mind coach, Lanre Olusola, Many people pray for their bad HABITS to go away; this is Wrong tool for wrong problem; Fancy trying to use a screw driver or plier to remove a bad tooth? What will Happen?
The tooth will be destroyed
You will be in pain
The tooth or remnants of it may remain
Let your prayer focus be “Lord give me the strength to follow through with this new replacement HABIT”
So understand that a HABIT is a:
Response to a perceived need
Response to something within your environment
Learned coping mechanism
Learned behavior
HABITS Give you pleasure . HABITS Do something for you I.e  They have benefits if not you won’t have continued doing it. YES, EVEN THE SO CALLED BAD HABITS! So why do you want to stop this so called bad HABIT ?
This Reason must be more Compelling than the consequences of continuing the bad HABIT. What will you replace this  bad HABIT with?
Does that replacement give you equal or better pleasure that that so called bad HABIT?
Then:
DECIDE that it’s TIME to change the HABIT
Take RESPONSIBILITY for it
Nobody else enjoys the benefits with you, so it’s your choice to continue doing this thing or not
Identify the replacement and commit to doing the new HABIT EVERYDAY
Affirm that this new HABIT gives you better or equal pleasure and benefits.
May God grant you the Grace to break free as you so desire. Shalom
