Put the power of habit to work for you
Harness the power of positive habits and reach your goals...automatically!
Did you know that habits are incredibly powerful tools for personal growth and success?
Think about the habits you have now and how they affect every aspect of your life. Your weight and health are determined by your eating habits. Your relationships with people are determined by your social habits. Your success at work is determined by your work habits.
You have sleeping habits that dictate how well you sleep. You have sexual habits. You even have buying habits; just take a look around your home and you will see what I mean. Your character, your health and many aspects of your life are determined by habits.
Habit: An acquired behaviour pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary.
The important words in this definition are acquired and almost involuntary. Let me ask you a question. When is the last time you sat down and said to yourself, "Today I am going to add a new habit to my life?" I suspect that you have hardly ever said those words.
As you read this article, you will see how easy it is to add positive habits to your life and the power positive habits have to change your life. Think about the words almost involuntary. This means that the habit is so powerful that it is almost unstoppable! With bad habits like smoking, procrastination, and overeating, this is bad news. But with positive habits, this is very good news.
What is a positive habit?
A positive habit is simply a habit that produces positive benefits, actions and attitudes you want to acquire and make a part of your life. Why are positive habits so powerful to effect change? Because habits, by nature, are automatic. If you create a new habit Adan repeat it often enough, it can become permanent.
It’s really quite easy. You simply begin repeating an action, attitude or thought process every day for at least 21 days. Research has shown that if you repeat an action for a minimum of 21 days it is likely to become a permanent habit.
Since we are talking about goals, what better habit could you have then the habit of setting goals? Did you know that the most successful people all share the common positive habit of goal setting? A study was done to determine the importance of goal setting. College students who had gone on to achieve great success in business were asked to list their habits. The students who had made a habit of setting goals were in the top 3% of earnings in the population!
It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of goal-setting as a positive habit. Goal setting is simple, yet 97% of the population never do it. By making goal setting a positive habit, you can start placing yourself in the top 3% of the population of successful people.
Here are some simple steps to help you start making goal setting a positive habit:
Step 1 - Define your goals, write them down, and be very specific; capture your goals on paper. It is amazing how many people never take the time to write down exactly what it is they want in life. Remember, you can’t hit a target if you don’t have one.
Step 2 - Determine what the time line is for reaching your goals; set specific deadlines for each goal.
Step 3 - Identify any obstacles that may stand in your way, list them, and state how you plan to overcome them.
Positive Habit #3 - Take Flax Every Day for a Healthy, Trim Body and Lower Cholesterol!
What is flax?
Flaxseed contains both soluble and insoluble fibre. Several studies have shown that flaxseed can help to lower cholesterol in the same way that other soluble fibre foods like oat bran and fruit pectin. A study at the University of Toronto showed that total cholesterol levels dropped 9% and LDL (the "bad" cholesterol) decreased 18% among a group of women who ate milled flaxseed cooked into bread every day for a period of 4 weeks.
Flaxseed is one of the richest sources of lignans and alpha-linolenic acid. Studies suggest that lignans may help to prevent certain cancers. Flaxseed is one of the few plants in the plant kingdom that provide a high ratio of alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) to linoleic (omega-6 fatty acids), it is an excellent source of healthy polyunsaturated fat.
A new study has confirmed that the positive habit of taking flax seed daily can help you get a trim and fit body. I interviewed Dr. Sam Bhathena, a researcher at the Phytonutrients Laboratory of the US department of Agriculture, he said, "we have observed that flax seed meal is much more effective in lowering cholesterol then soy. Several other studies have shown that in general, omega-3 fatty acids,lower lipid deposition, and help in reducing body weight."
Omega-3 fatty acids — More than half the fat contained in flaxseed is omega-3 fatty acid type, an essential fatty acid. There have been numerous studies reporting the health benefits of consuming omega-3 fats. Recent studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids which are abundant in flax seed can help protect you from coronary artery disease, stroke, high blood pressure, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Studies on the effects of flax seed on breast cancer are now under way. Omega-3s can also help boost your metabolism, helping your body to burn calories faster.
Flax is available as raw seed, ground seed and also as an oil which is made by cold pressing flax seeds. You can purchase raw flax seed, ground flax seed and flax seed oil at most health food stores. The easiest way to incorporate flax seed into your diet is to buy ground flax seed meal and add it to your food.
- Substitute for cooking oil or shortening in baked goods
- Add ground flax seed to pancakes, waffles and cereals
- Put ground flax seed on salads.
Here is a great recipe for a super health shake. Make a protein shake with 8 ounces of your favourite juice such as apple or orange, add
- 2 tablespoons of flax seed oil
- 2 tablespoons of soy powder
- 1 tablespoon of lecithin
- fresh fruit such as bananas, papayas or blueberries
- Blend with a hand blender or an electric blender.
This power shake will provide you with the health benefits of soy; omega-3’s, fibre, antioxidants, and enzymes from the fruit, and the fat loss benefits of lecithin.
