    Changing Habits

    I read this the other night & it struck a chord with me so I thought I'd share...

    "If you drive down the same dirt road day after day, your car will create ruts in the road that will limit your ability to maneuver. Unless you pay attention & become mindful, your car will default to the ruts, and in doing so, reinforce the prior patterns in the dirt. If you want to get out of the rut, you will need to consciously choose another path and reinforce this new path until it becomes your established way of travelling"

    Sometimes we loose encouragement, wonder if the battle will ever get easier...this script tells me that I can create a new path and once it's established it will be easier to follow.

    Angel, that makes perfect sense!
    Its like we keep doing the same thing yet expect different results. Go for a change, and see where it takes you! Thats what I am trying to do....

          Angel,

          This is EXACTLY where I am. I'm changing my habits, which is changing some dysfunctional family dynamics, right now. Not tomorrow, or this spring, or after school vacation or...but right now. When I change my habits, some family dynamics switch. This is good for us. We're slowly getting out of some ruts and, with time and perserverence, a new and healtier, happier way of living together.

          Thanks,

            Yeah I agree, with me it is about habits. I seem to be lucky and am able to moderate but if I let myself get back into the every day drinking routine again I know that it will all get out of hand horribly. But you do have to consciously make that decision to not do it like that any more and it's not easy and well all (well me anyway) do fall back into those ruts on the track from time to time.

            Thanks Angel

              yeah, I'm at that stage too...I have to choose my path consciously AT ALL times 'coz if I let my guard down for even one day, you can bet I'd be back in those old grooves.
              Glad you liked, friends.
