Bad habits can seem like an insurmountable obstacle, but it’s important to remember that they are just that – a habit. And habits can be broken and replaced with healthy ones. It takes time, effort, and commitment, but the rewards of breaking free from bad habits are immeasurable. We may feel like we’re stuck in a rut or that our actions define us, but we have the power within us to choose what kind of person we want to be.

As Benjamin Franklin once said, “It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.” So let’s make a conscious effort each day to practice good habits full of integrity and purpose. And if things get worse or you do stumble along the way – don’t beat yourself up about it! Forgive yourself and keep moving forward towards your goals. God has a plan for each one of us and He will guide us on our journey towards living our best life without the weight of bad habits holding us back. ~ Bill Greguska

2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here.

Bad Habits Can Be Discouraging!

Bad habits can often feel like a weight that we carry with us every day, constantly pulling us down and making it hard to move forward. They can seem so ingrained in who we are that breaking free from them feels impossible. But the truth is, most things we do in life are based on habits – and that means we have the power to choose what kind of habits we form. We don’t have to be stuck with bad ones forever! Instead, let’s focus on practicing healthy, good habits full of integrity – ones that lead us towards success and happiness.

So let’s start by avoiding those negative patterns altogether. Of course, this isn’t always easy – I know from personal experience how difficult it can be to overcome bad habits like smoking or overeating. But with God’s grace and guidance leading the way, anything is possible! If you’re struggling with a bad habit right now, remember: there is hope for change. Trust in God’s plan for your life and allow Him to work in your heart as you take steps towards breaking free from those negative patterns once and for all.

Got Bad Habits You Want To Break?

Do you have a problem with addiction?

Bad habits, we all have one or two, at least. Here are some informal ways to help with any bad habits you might have. Every one of us needs to break a bad habit at some point or another. Remember to bathe your bad habits in prayer and ask others how long you have had them.

Remember to include in breaking your bad habits the practice of prayer and asking others for help. The best advice when breaking a bad habit is to create a new pattern to replace it. It all sounds easy to do, and basically, it is.

Bad habits can be a real hindrance in our lives but the good news is that we can always choose to practice better ones. I believe that most things we do are based on habits, and if we make a conscious effort to cultivate healthy ones, they will eventually become second nature to us. Benjamin Franklin’s wise words ring true: “It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.” Personally, I have struggled with many bad habits over the years such as smoking cigarettes, abusing alcohol and drugs, swearing and overeating. But by the grace of God, I was able to overcome these vices and learn how to live without them. Breaking bad habits may seem impossible at first but it starts with taking small steps towards change every day. If you or someone you know is struggling with a particular vice or habit that seems difficult to shake off, remember that there is always hope and healing through prayer and determination. ~ Bill Greguska

 

 

 


Be Prepared For The Challenge

Bad habits!

Some people can drink alcohol and not wreck their lives because of it, but if one of your bad habits is drinking, you need to cut it loose!

But be prepared for roadblocks and temptations to get you off your goal. If you do fail in your initial attempt, keep going. It took me almost three years to quit smoking. It did take work, patience, prayer, and perseverance to try. You can break bad habits, but it will take work, patience, prayer, and determination!

Are you tired of your bad habit(s)? Quitting a habit or sin is one of the hardest things in life, but it becomes easy when we realize that Jesus didn’t just die to forgive us of our sins but give us power over it and free us from being in bondage to anything.

Stop trying to stop! Instead, focus on preventing yourself from wrong thinking. As a man thinks, so is he. 1. Your thoughts will shape your decisions. 2. your choices will shape your actions. 3. Your responses will help form your new habits that you want. Philippians 4:8-9 ~ Bill Greguska
