Sounds dramatic, right? But think about it: Life is full of habits.

If you have a habit of always hanging your head and looking down, you will leave little time to make decisions about adjusting your horse’s stride. You also won’t have a good sense of rhythm and speed. And if you do nothing about your habit of looking down, Laura says she can guarantee you that your sense of rhythm and speed will not improve.

Extinguishing bad habits involves cultivating new ones. And that work must be on the subconscious level. If you could change by just reading a book about change or going to therapy, everyone would be replacing all their negative thoughts and behavior with positive ones. But it’s not that easy. Reading doesn’t create change easily or automatically. You need something more.

The Three Essentials of Cosmic Habit-Force

Make good habits and they will make you. – Laura King

Much of your day consists of successions of actions that have become automatic. 98% of what we do, we do by habit, spontaneously. Each separate act (habit) good or bad, plays a part in making you what you are. Fortunately, it’s never too late, and you’re never too old, to change your habits. You can begin today. You can begin right now, at this very moment. Remember that success is a habit and failure is also a habit. Repetition forms positive habits and negative ones as well.
