Habit Quotes To Help You
Fire Up Personal Change
by Jennifer Orpen
Habit quotes,...Wisdom you can count on to help make dreams come true. Solidify your experience of who you are at soul level. Or, hint it's time to question what it is that's weakening your life right now. Have a look at 17 of these proverbs here.
Right off the bat, let's settle on a definition of habit: It's a tendency you settle into – an accepted way to behave – the regular practice of specific behavior.
However, for the purpose of living your life from a soul angle, the intent is different.
The game plan behind the habit-building is to make use of your soul gifts. And, to glide the practice into a way of life which embraces your soul traits and qualities.
Cultivating 'soul' routines can yield other payoffs too:
- Takes less effort deciding what to do.
- Know what feels right and what doesn't.
- Easy to choose which best rewards who you really are at your core.
Here are time-tested reminders which can inspire and guide to help reinforce your willingness to experience who you are at soul level:
