We are creatures of habit. This quote from Deepak Chopra is a good reminder to help you remember, “Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.”
The next time try and catch yourself from reacting in the same old way, whether it is reaching for that candy bar or how you talk to your kids. Do you want to continue acting that way in the future or do you want to change it?
