Habits and Addictions

Don’t let a habit make you ! Just like a craving – it is said that a craving usually lasts 12 minutes but after you get past wanting chocolate you may develop a sudden craving for yogurt or cake or skittles. Your habits can be replaced by other habits as well. Just think it takes 28 days to break a habit so how long does it take to form one ? Well if you need to get over a bad habit why not replace it with a good one. We are slaves to our habits and subconsciously we may not realize why we have these habits, we just do. Be mindful of what your doing and why. For example, most people have a habit of washing their face and brushing their teeth each morning and before bed. I now have made a habit of drinking two tbsp’s of apple cider vinegar in 8oz’s of water as soon as I wake. There are powerful benefits behind this little cocktail but that’s for another post. I also made it a habit to have a cup of green tea daily and an organic apple every day .  If I don’t get my apple and green tea it just feels weird.
