It's easier to replace habits by new ones rather than making or breaking them from scratch.Originally Posted by Dreymagine
It's easier to replace habits by new ones rather than making or breaking them from scratch.
I've seen this tip on countless online articles about how to make/break habits. I'm trying that, have been for a long time, but it hasn't made it any easier tbh.

I am being cancelled. For being so sexy and fun and intelligent and hot.
Makes sense. Just don’t try it backwards.
Everyday it gets easier, but you have to do it everyday.
The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.
The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".
Yeah, that's true.
And hi Eud!! It's nice to see you around, I thought you were gone 3:
How about chaining a new habit after one you already do?
I've had a bit more success with this then the aforementioned, but for little things only so far. Such as making time to moisturize all 20 of my dryass cuticles straight out of the shower. Otherwise I never do it.
I never change habits deliberately tbh, I just give up ending habits because it doesn't work. But they fade away when I'm mentally sound and when I remove the emotional baggage chaining me to these habits
my goals...
really short term - start exercising regularly & eating better
short term (a year) - switch into web development
medium term (5 years or so) - try & get database, network, and system admin certifications, and follow it up with job experience
long term - work as a cloud engineer for some large company
So I try & wake up early & read for 2-3 hours every day to make these things happen. If I can go the gym too ... I'm doing really well.
No room in there for a relationship, but that is a sacrifice I have chosen to make.
I dont share my goals with people, even irl.
I guard them and nourish them and go after them.
Finish this design I've been working on for like 3 days. I'm designing a contemporary building and decorating the interior. I'm pleased so far. I'm currently adding lighting/shadows. I'll more than likely design my own furniture for it as well. I'm thinking of making an entire branding kit out of it, actually, since it's a commercial building...web banner, logo, ad styling, product packaging, signage, and so forth. Maybe some company will hire me on if I make several of these kits and put them in a portfolio.
EDIT:
Or, maybe an LIE will team up with me to do the more Te-like aspects of a business, and we will run away together and have our own successful business of some sort, be rich, get married, have babies, and live happily ever after.
Ok, well, dreaming was fun.

Well, i don't know how to be well, so I don't really have any goals.
I'm not only psychologically disturbed, I'm also QueeferSutherlandJeffersonianSecessionist87@sucksd ick.com
Waiting in between the axis of time for a life calling. I'm just hoping that by the time life finally decides to call, I will still be able to hear it...
