You need to put what you learn into practice and do it over and over again until it's a habit. I always say, 'Seeing is not believing. Doing is believing.' There is a lot to learn about fitness, nutrition and emotions, but once you do, you can master them instead of them mastering you.

When we're trying to form and keep habits, we often search - even unconsciously - for loopholes. We look for justifications that will excuse us from keeping this particular habit in this particular situation.

We can use decision-making to choose the habits we want to form, use willpower to get the habit started, then - and this is the best part - we can allow the extraordinary power of habit to take over. At that point, we're free from the need to decide and the need to use willpower.

We become what we repeatedly do.

Habits are safer than rules; you don't have to watch them. And you don't have to keep them either. They keep you.

Of course, like anybody I repeat myself endlessly, but I don't know that I'm doing it, usually.

Rather than becoming aware of the whole situation - why you smoke in the first place - rather than becoming aware of the process of smoking, you are simply trying to drop it. It is like pruning the leaves of a tree without cutting the roots.

Old habits die hard, I guess. If you dont kick them, they kick you.

I say that habit's but a long practice, friend, and this becomes men's nature in the end.

Everything is habit-forming, so make sure what you do is what you want to be doing.

Good habits are as addictive as bad habits, and a lot more rewarding.
