Cycle of habits

Habits are hard to break. Like in college, you smoke a cigarette out of peer pressure, now, became a habit. Even though you know it's gonna kill you but you just keep on smoking it, one after the other. Just like that, if I stay in my comfort zone now. I know I can't get out of it later.

I believe, I can hit the gym at least three days a week. I just don't know how am I going to do that. The voices in my head are so strong that they convince me to stay home and complete one more episode of my favourite TV shows. I lose my control here. These voices assure me that "we'll go to gym tomorrow" but tomorrow never comes.

When I started my coaching for MBA's entrance exam, we were given vocabulary cards. One card has 20 words with meaning. We were told to learn these words, one day one card. At first I was so excited to see this. I even completed one - two cards.. but then I lost that motivation to learn more. Now, I don't even remember the words that I've learnt from the two cards. It's been over a year, and I haven't seen those cards. Maybe they're somewhere in my closet.

I am a short tempered person, I lose my cool real quick. So, you can imagine it's hard for me to take criticism. But where I want to go requires patience, a lot of patience. I want to be a chef and I guess you all might have seen some episodes of the "Hell's Kitchen" where chef Gordon Ramsay yells at the contestants. So, my life's gonna be pretty much like that. I have to prepare myself to be yelled at by chefs in future and I just can't snap back at them. It's hard to control the anger built inside.

Health is wealth but we never treat our body like a temple. We are so busy in running after wealth, we just forget to eat sometimes and stuff ourselves with some processed food.
I am over junk food now, it's been hard for sure, but it was automatic. I, once,  craved for junk but now I just don't want to eat them anymore. Maybe it's because I started appreciating the foods nature gave us. But the problem is I can't stick to the diet plan. I keep forgetting that I need to eat every two hours. And drink a lot of water.

So, there you go, these are my habits. The things which bother me so much. I know that nobody is perfect but I think we can just change a little bit about ourselves and make a difference in our lives as well as the others.
