\u201cWhen you are reinventing yourself, it's going to feel strange because it's new.
That newness is actually really good.\u201d
-Andrew Love
Each one of us has habits that we\u2019ve picked up on through the years and we\u2019ve nurtured. An action that we do every day and becomes a part of our routine over time.\xa0 The things we do or how we spend our time shape who we are and what kind of life we have is influenced and defined by our habits. We always have the choice of whether we keep our bad habits or cultivate good ones.
You have the ability to reinvent yourself once you recognize and assess whether your habits are advantageous or harmful to your life. Reinventing yourself isn\u2019t an easy process. It can be uncomfortable or painful, but we should perceive this discomfort as a result of letting go of an old habit and stepping outside of our comfort zone which eventually leads us to a better life.\xa0
In Episode 99, Andrew Love talks about the value of forming a beneficial habit by reinventing oneself, why we may experience an \u201cuncomfortable stage\u201d and how we should respond to it. He also discusses the sense of newness as well as the differences between the newness of a good habit versus a bad one.\xa0
We might sense the newness of a good habit in the process of forming it, and this can be misinterpreted as discomfort. The feeling of newness associated with a good habit should not be misconstrued; rather, we should embrace and cherish that painful experience to be able to grow as an individual.
We all want to be the best version of ourselves, and our habits should mirror that desire. Learn more about the importance of developing new habits and how they can help us reinvent ourselves in Episode 99!
