Making Good Habits Breaking Bad Habits

Experts say that at least 40% of what we do is solely the result of habit, which is why it is so important to make good habits and break bad ones. In this book, Joyce Meyer zeroes in on 14 life-enhancing habits and provides practical tools that will help you make them your own.

From nail biting to cell phone addiction, procrastination to overspending, bad habits seem to outnumber the good ones. Unfortunately, we pay a price for bad habits that outweighs the immediate gratification that they bring.

In this book, Joyce Meyer examines the nature of habits. The first habit – and most important one to have – is the God Habit. By making it a habit to start your day by reading the Bible and communing with God, asking for His help in your efforts and His strength and sustenance, the stage is set for overcoming the habits you want to break and establishing new ones in their place.

Joyce then explores how to break bad habits by examining destructive, negative behavior patterns.

Chapters are devoted to fourteen good habits, and by the end of each you have a specific roadmap to follow until the behavior has become automatic (the definition of a habit). It’s like following a GPS to get you to a new place. After traveling the same route several times, the GPS isn’t needed for you to find your destination. The ‘habit’ of following the right route has become ingrained.
