Radicalize Your Habit Patterns
Once you have determined that there are places in your life where a preference could be moved to a place of lower priority, then you need to begin to look at your habits.
Many experts indicate that most everything we do, we do because of habits.
It is important then that we recognize we have habit patterns and that they are more than just a simple matter of routines we go through in living life.
Oftentimes in this process of living life and striving forward in order to become all that we are created to be, we get slowed down by the habits that are comfortable to us.
So what are we to do? Perhaps we must begin by recognizing the fact that by establishing some new habit patterns, we can do away with those that have previously held us back. We can be deliberate about creating new routines that will break the non-productive habits we have formed.
If you are willing to actually change your habit pattern in order to accomplish your goal, my assessment is that your goal is indeed worth it.
