I heard this quote somewhere and liked it: he who eats till he is sick must fast till he is well. I think it applies to everything in our lives from food to behaviors to addictions. We all know our bad food habits like giving in to temptations , portion control, eating while standing up … I'm sure you can name a lot more. Behaviors can include things like watching too much TV, not getting enough exercise, sleeping too much, playing video games or computer games, checking e-mail incessantly. Addictions can be to alcohol or drugs, Facebook or Twitter ... or even to toxic people.
All of these things contribute to our being less than who we can be. They don't serve us but habits are hard to break.
I am making March my bad habit breaker. Pick one habit a day and fast: don't indulge it. It's hard but ultimately worth it. Then either do that again or choose another habit to fast on for the day. It won't kill you to not read your e-mails for one day or not watch TV <you can always set your DVR>. It can be very freeing … just take a deep breath.
Win today … then repeat!
