I’ve written about the fact that our life and all we do is a by-product of our thoughts. Whenever we are trying to change a habit, changing our thinking becomes paramount. I have found I need to have standard go-to thoughts to help me speak back at the negative stuff that my committee tries to…

Are you living in default mode or are you customizing your life? For those of you who’ve stayed fast…literally…during this HabitFast Journey; you are beginning to see and feel what it takes to design your life. A little blood, sweat and tears today sure pales to the thought of being 70 or 80 years old and…

It takes intentional preparation, thought and action to overcome a bad habit or to start and continue a new productive habit. “Think first and then respond” is an ability only human beings have. Â All other animals simply respond based upon the type of animal they are and what their instincts tell them….
