Trigger Tracking: Achieving Measurable Goals

Breaking bad habits is essential for personal growth and well-being, but it requires intentional effort and patience. Start by identifying your triggers—those emotional, social, or environmental cues that prompt unwanted behaviors. Set clear, measurable goals to track your progress, and replace harmful habits with healthier alternatives. Positive reinforcement, such as small rewards, can keep you motivated along the way. Seek support from loved ones or professionals to stay accountable, and practice self-compassion through setbacks. Remember, lasting change takes time. With persistence and the right mindset, each step you take brings you closer to becoming a better version of yourself.

Mastering Your “Follow-Through” Breaking the Habit of Breaking Your Word

Breaking the bad habit of not keeping your word is a crucial step in mastering both your personal and professional life. It’s about understanding that your word is your brand, and just like in business, your reputation depends on the integrity you uphold. To break this cycle, you must approach it with an entrepreneurial mindset, starting with a clear vision of what honoring your commitments looks like. Build a system—whether it’s using a planner to track promises or setting reminders—so that accountability becomes a natural part of your daily routine. Sharing your goals with a trusted mentor or friend helps to keep you on track, providing honest feedback and encouragement. Ultimately, breaking this habit isn’t just about discipline; it’s about aligning your actions with your values and goals, making your word a reflection of your true self. By continuously improving and adjusting your approach, you can rebuild trust and integrity in both your personal and professional life.

Health Habits: From Bad to Better

Breaking bad habits around diet and lifestyle can lead to life-changing results. After a difficult conversation with my primary care physician, I was determined to lower my A1C naturally, without medication like Ozempic or Metformin. Through prayer, reflection, and intentional lifestyle changes, I reduced my A1C from 9.5 to 5.8 within a year.

The key steps included cutting out sugars, embracing clean eating, and staying active despite working remotely. I also leaned heavily on my faith, incorporating prayer and fasting into my routine. This spiritual focus strengthened my commitment to healthier habits, leading to a 20-pound weight loss and overall better health. This journey has shown me the power of faith, discipline, and intentional action in breaking bad habits and creating a more fulfilling life.

Triumphing Over Temptation

Overcoming bad habits is often a challenging journey, but the key to true success lies in understanding that we rarely overcome the hardest challenges on our own. When we fight for ourselves alone, it can lead to pride, and ultimately, self-sabotage. We tend to act in ways that we think are best for us, but without considering how it affects others. True growth happens when we fight for something greater than ourselves—when we fight for others, especially for love.

Think of addiction as trying to empty a glass of dirty water. No matter how many times you pour it out, it will eventually refill. The solution isn’t to keep emptying the glass, but to fill it with something clean. Like my mom, who spent 30 years trying to quit smoking. She kept quitting, failing again and again, until one day she realized her addiction was harming her children. It was then that she quit for them, and in doing so, she found the strength to quit for herself.

This is the power of love. It doesn’t fail, even in the toughest battles. As love perseveres, addiction starves. When you fall, get up, repent, and keep moving forward. Slow and steady wins the race, and no matter how long it takes, you will eventually conquer. Love is the key, and with faith, prayer, and support, you can transform your life, step by step. You are not alone, and you are loved. Keep quitting, and one day, you will never start again.

Work Addiction: A Silent Struggle

Today in California, with perfect weather and endless possibilities, I find myself trapped in a cycle of work addiction. Despite the beautiful day, I’m focused on completing a project instead of spending time with my family or taking care of myself.

To break this cycle, I’m committing to a balanced approach—prioritizing my health, family, and personal time. This is my goal for the next few months, and I encourage you to join me in making self-care and balance a priority. Life’s precious moments are too important to overlook.
