Summary
They say by the time you’re 35, you’re basically a series of habits… habits of thought, habits of behavior, habits of emotions…⠀
⠀
Habits are not just about behaviors. They include thoughts and emotions too.⠀
⠀
If it seems like you always have negative thoughts looping in your head and just can’t get on the positivity train, that’s because you haven’t checked your thought habits.⠀
⠀
Meaning you haven’t yet disrupted your current thought patterns and consciously created new ones.⠀
⠀
Emotional habits include snapping too easily road rage wallowing in self-pity, and even aspects of depression. ⠀
⠀
Understanding how to break bad habits and build positive ones are super important, not just for success, but for survival.⠀
⠀
I’m really excited because today we have the author of THE BEST book I’ve ever read on habits… and I’ve read a lot.⠀

⠀
