(Below from the book, The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson)

The cables made from your right choices uphold and support you.
Those made from wrong choices imprison and restrain you.
These cables are your habits of thought and attitude.

Want to know where the slight edge is taking you?
Look at your predominant habits of thought and the kinds of choices you habitually make.

Your habits operate at the unconscious level, which means you are not normally aware of them.
It’s only by bringing a habit into your conscious awareness that you can observe what it’s doing, how it empowers and serves you … or doesn’t.
By developing slight edge thinking – and especially by using the slight edge ally of reflection – you’ll shine the bright light of awareness on your habits.

Once you’re aware a habit doesn’t serve you, how do you change it or get rid of it?
All it takes is knowing where to focus your energy.
That, plus time.

It’s tough to get rid of the habit you don’t want by facing it head on.
The way to accomplish it is to replace the unwanted habit with another habit that you do want.
You do it the same way you built any habit you have: one step at a time.
Baby steps.
The slight edge.
