Habits II

I had the pleasure of reading or should I say listen to some powerful books, and because of the content I was forced to retrace my step in my library. These books (Power of Habits by Charles Duhigg, The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor, Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell) all spoke about building habits of success and in some of my memories and notes I noticed the word habit kept appearing, but I never gave it the true focus that it needed. Habits build the template of our lives, guide our decisions, and more importantly our actions. Habits have been the topic of discussion in almost every book that I have read, but this obvious fact has escaped me. Here are some quotes about habits from some of the people that I have ran across in my readings:

“Your beliefs become your thoughts, 
Your thoughts become your words, 
Your words become your actions, 
Your actions become your habits, 
Your habits become your values, 
Your values become your destiny.” 
― Mahatma Gandhi

“The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.” 
― Samuel Johnson

“If you do not pour water on your plant, what will happen? It will slowly wither and die. Our habits will also slowly wither and die away if we do not give them an opportunity to manifest. You need not fight to stop a habit. Just don’t give it an opportunity to repeat itself. (67)” 
― Swami Satchidananda, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

“Habits are formed by the repetition of particular acts. They are strengthened by an increase in the number of repeated acts. Habits are also weakened or broken, and contrary habits are formed by the repetition of contrary acts.” 
― Mortimer Jerome Adler

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
Aristotle

Habits are one of the most powerful tools that those on the Journey can use on the path. In the "Power Of Habits", the author discusses what is called the habit loop. In the habit loop we learn that a habit is composed of a cue, a routine, and a reward. By understanding the loop we can build habits or redirect habits. We can not change the Cue or reward, but we have control of the routine. By identifying all parts of the habit cycle we can use it to our advantage. The author stress that we can not change the cue or the reward but we have our opportunity when we deal with changing the routine. We will discuss more about this later.

Let's Take It To The Next Level - 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge

Image
Peace FAM: It is time that I move to another level. I have spoke enough about sacrifice, suffering, embracing the bitter. Now it is time for us to see these things totally in action. I have decided to commit to completing another 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge with a fast. It is about to get hard. This time I will not be doing the intermittent fasting I will be doing a straight liquid fast. The goal is to demonstrate that it can be done, to help me workout some of my personal fears, and to solidify my vision for GNJ. I am not playing with this platform I have been blessed with, and I am not playing with this product that the Ancestors have dropped in my lap. I decided to call it the Gye-Nyame Quest. Now what I will have to workout is a system that will help me make it through the rough times. I will follow everything that we do within the challenge, plus the fast. My system will look like this: Week 1 Breathing Exercise Toast Movement Cold shower/ bath proverb & folktale of

GNJ # System

  GNJ # System Introduction In the ancient world, we used numbers to count and calculate. Numbers were also used in rituals and religious ceremonies. Today, we still use numbers for these purposes, but they have become more important than ever before! Numbers provide a way to better understand ourselves as individuals. Numbers also provide a way to better understand the world around us and how we interact with it. Finally, numbers can help us learn more about how to behave so that we can achieve our goals, whether they are spiritual or material in nature. The GNJ system is a new approach that will allow you to gain insight into yourself by using numerology and astrology together! The first step is learning your Life Path Number (sometimes called your "birthday number"). This will tell you what kind of person you are at heart based on when you were born - which could be either good news or bad news depending on when that happens." Numbers provide a way to better understan
