    About this ebook

    It is now well known that only around 8 percent of people are actually able to change their habits and reach their goals.

    "You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine." –John C. Maxwell

    As you know by now reaching goals or trying to implement new habits and sticking to them long term can be quite challenging.  

    Our body and mind are designed to desire the easy way out. The path of least resistance. This is why sticking to new habits for the long term is no easy task.

    One of the key factors that separate high achievers and performers, those that are able to reach their goals and make a long-lasting positive change in their lives, is their impressive ability to stick with new habits, no matter what.

    Most people believe that you are either born disciplined or you aren't. There is little hope if you are a lazy, unmotivated slob. But how true is this?

    Fortunately, even if you currently consider yourself to be the LEAST disciplined person you know of, there is a LOT that you can do to completely turn your life around.

    In this book, you'll discover:

    -The profound effects that habits have in our lives and how we can harness their power.
    -Proven methods to develop willpower from scratch, even if you currently consider yourself to be the most unmotivated, lazy person ever.
    -A risk-free strategy to deal with the discomfort that separates us from achieving great, long-lasting change.
    -Discover why bad habits tend to stay in our systems and painless methods to get rid of them for good.
    -The time that it usually takes for habit transformation to occur and the secret to cut the time drastically.
    -Fool-proof methods that will help you stick to your new plan, no matter what.
    -How to effectively deal with distractions that tend to sabotage our goals.

    Scientific research has shown that good habits inevitably leads to better academic and life outcomes. It is also directly linked to lower levels of stress, depression, and other mood disorders that plague our society.

    Years of studying how our thought patterns work has now made this type of training so easy-to-follow that even the most unmotivated person you know of can turn their life around by using the right roadmap.

    So if you want to make sure that you increase your success in all areas of your life and want to have the mental discipline of the elite few, then scroll up and click the "Add to Cart" button now!

    Introduction

    What does it truly take to make long-lasting, positive change in our lives? The type of change that helps us reach our goals, become a better version of ourselves or create positive impact in our society?

    There are several crucial factors that influence whether or not we achieve the above; however, there’s probably none other more important than the habits that we’ve developed over the years and that are always present in our daily lives.

    ––––––––

    You’ve probably heard before that humans are creatures of habit. At its most basic sense, a habit is simply a behavior or action that we tend to do on a consistent and relatively predictable basis. They typically become ingrained in our systems because of constant repetition.  After some time, these deeds turn into something that we do without even thinking about them. They become a regular part of our day and, in some ways, they become reflections of who we are.

    We tend to categorize or view habits as either bad or good. Bad habits are commonly known to affect our lives negatively (e.g. smoking, stress eating, and procrastinating). Good habits, on the other hand, usually improve the quality of our lives (e.g. exercising, eating mindfully, and reading). Therefore, the kind of life that we’ll end up having can be primarily attributed to the habits that we choose to abide by –– whether consciously or unconsciously.

    Habits: Inherent or Learned?

    Because habits are so automatic, they give off the illusion of being inherent. From an observer’s perspective, our habits can easily seem as if they are something that we’re born with –– something that can define us and predict how well we’d fare in life.

    There is partial truth to that notion. There is no denying that a few habits may have been with us since birth or very early age. There is little we could do about them because they had been prevalent in the environment where we were born and developed. Thus, they shaped the kind of life that we know –– or what will become our eventual standard of normal. But this idea of normal is something that we learned from somewhere –– the company we keep, as well as our immediate environment.

    I lived most of my life believing that there are certain things that we cannot change, no matter how hard we try. For instance, I truly thought that you are born a procrastinator or you aren’t. People that went on to achieve great things or to make positive change in their lives for good had the good fortune of not being born as procrastinators.

    I truly believed that I was destined to be one of these hopeless procrastinators. I identified myself as an umotivated individual that was dealth the wrong cards by destiny. I’m pretty sure that the people around me probably thought the same thing about me.

    The turning point for me was when I started studying and dissecting how our habits work, as I was truly able to make significant progress afterward. To me, analyzing how habits work was akin to seeing the matrix in a sense, as it profoundly changed the way I think about our behavioral patterns and how extensively they can be shaped nowadays.

    ––––––––

    Though habits may seem so fixed and deep-seated, at the end of the day, they are just behaviors that we learned to do overtime. The good thing is, all hope is not lost, because we have control over the most critical habit-building variables. This empowers us to create new and good habits –– and consequently, break bad ones.

    Habits as the Default

    We generally fall into our defaults as a short-cut to life’s daily processes. Habits help us bypass the need to examine every decision that we have to make each day. Just imagine how time-consuming it will be if we had to consciously go through all of our behaviors to choose the ones that we believe help us get by in life. If our brains weren’t capable of wiring (and rewiring) habits, we’ll always be having a rational debate about the most trivial of things –– such as asking ourselves whether we should be brushing our teeth before going to bed or not.

    Now, even though habits are our default when it comes to specific situations, it doesn’t mean that they’re the only action or response that we’ll ever know. It just takes time to learn –– or unlearn –– some of them. Self-awareness then becomes key in ensuring that positive change is within reach.

    If we choose to spend our time studying ourselves, observing our patterns, and reorganizing our current structures, we
