Dear Holos & Lotus Community, @holos-lotus, @myriannalis, @yonnathang, we enter another Friday, the third of August and in the Meeting Nº 27, of From my map. The theme that I will develop is one that is often repeated, but always current: habits. The approach that I will follow is contained in the title, although I confess that I play with the language, as you can see in the development of the article:

Speaking of robes, do they make the monk?

The saying of the proverb is "The robe does not make the monk", meaning that someone can wear a robe and not be a monk or not have the qualities expected of a monk. In other words, the proverb expresses a reality, breaking the association habit = monk. I totally agree with it.

So why do I make this fact a question? Because, the habits can make the monk; that is, habits can channel the personality of its users. Of course, I am not referring only to clothing, but to multiple behaviors that we adopt and repeat on a regular basis.

Any behavior can become a habit if we do it repeatedly. There comes a time when we need it or we repeat it mechanically, as a product of the subconscious. Let's see, when we were little we were taught to brush our teeth, it became a habit and we brush following the learned technique, without thinking about it, because it became a mechanical act, in such a way that we can even brushing improperly

Drinking coffee is another behavior that becomes a habit, in this case supported by caffeine. I've substituted decaf or tea, but in the morning and after lunch, I need my cup of coffee (even if it's not coffee)

Fumar es también un hábito, que se asocia a la nicotina para crear dependencia y que lleva a un consumo cada vez mayor, pero como el objetivo de esta publicación no es tratar las dependencias severas, nos quedamos en el tema de los hábitos.

La repetición de una conducta la convierte en un hábito. Y éstos llegan casi a describirnos. Aunque hay hábitos que atentan contra nuestra salud, hay otros que ayudan a mantenerse saludables, hay otros que simplemente son demostradores de nuestros gustos y preferencias. Buenos, malos o neutros, los hábitos entran en nuestras vidas para quedarse. Pero...¡Pueden eliminarse o cambiarse!

Desde este enfoque, los hábitos pueden hacer al monje o ayudarlo a perfeccionarse. Así que si siempre tienes una expresión ceñuda, que hace pensar que vives con enojo, sonríe repetidamente, hasta que sustituya tu expresión anterior. Si olvidas saludar, comienza a hacerlo conscientemente. Si no acostumbras a agradecer, comienza a hacerlo, ensaya y repite, repite hasta el cansancio.

Pueden adquirirse nuevos hábitos y transformar o eliminar los existentes, pero se requiere repetir las conductas, perseverancia y ¡tiempo! No se hace de la noche a la mañana, requiere aproximadamente un mes para anclar la conducta en nuestro cerebro y en algunos casos más tiempo.

¿Ya identificaste que comportamiento quieres anular o cambiar, o cual quieres incluir en tu repertorio de acciones cotidianas? Pues manos a la obra, diseña la conducta, ensaya su ejecución y repite diariamente. ¡Ojo! Instalar un pensamiento como ¡Hoy seré feliz!, también es una conducta.

Smoking is also a habit, which is associated with nicotine to create dependence and leads to increased consumption, but since the objective of this publication is not to treat severe dependencies, we We stay on the subject of habits.

Repeating a behavior makes it a habit. And these come almost to describe us. Although there are habits that threaten our health, there are others that help us stay healthy, there are others that are simply demonstrators of our tastes and preferences. Good, bad or neutral, habits enter our lives to stay. But... They can be removed or changed!

From this approach, the robes can make the monk or help him perfect himself. So if you always have a frowning expression, which makes you think you live with anger, smile repeatedly, until it replaces your previous expression. If you forget to say hello, start doing it consciously. If you are not used to thanking, start doing it, rehearse and repeat, repeat until exhaustion.

You can acquire new habits and transform or eliminate existing ones, but it requires repetition of behaviors, perseverance and time! It is not done overnight, it takes about a month to anchor the behavior in our brain and in some cases longer.

Have you already identified which behavior you want to cancel or change, or which one you want to include in your repertoire of daily actions? Well, get to work, design the behavior, rehearse its Run and repeat daily. eye! Installing a thought like Today I will be happy!, is also a behavior.

Yo soy feliz._{https://pixabay.com/es/photos/mujer-auriculares-m%c3%basica-ni%c3%b1a-977020/}
