Improving our behavior may require a closer look at ourselves at times.

The belief that we are not good or guilty due to an undesirable habit can debilitate us and lead to the prolongation of the undesirable habit.

When we realize a mistake has occurred and we begin planning to correct it, our understanding increases more as we go about it. 

Enabling changes can be better achieved by being calm and loving towards ourselves instead of approaching them from a guilty standpoint.

Denying something often causes it to slow us down. Acceptance and understanding transform us.

Perseverance and consistency are necessary for mastery. However, mastery is not an end goal, but an ongoing process. 

If we come to understand that something is significant to us, we may want to continue to master it.

Often, the value of enjoying the journey is greater than the value of arriving.

We are more likely to feel motivated when we make decisions that indicate we are driving, not being carried away.

We can overcome the initial resistance and build momentum with small accomplishments. It is possible to start small, reach our first goals, appreciate, and persist.

Instead of aiming for a certain outcome in advance, we can begin changing our actions to create a new mindset. 

The way we perceive ourselves in the long term can be improved by consistent actions.

At times, we might believe that we need to depend on our willpower. However, the power of clarity often leads to more perdurable changes.

More clarity comes over time when we change our preferences and we consistently want our new way of being more than the previous one.

When we become fully aware of something, it is said that we come to a realization.

If we are not happy with how we behave, it could be because we haven’t fully examined something yet.

The potential for greater enjoyment lies within our grasp.

Low pleasures can make us happy for a moment, but may ultimately be unfulfilling in the long run.

Today and tomorrow could be filled with higher pleasures that are far more fulfilling.

Frequently, what we appreciate the most in our scale of values is what we pursue and consequently what we often get. 

When we value making improved choices, we enjoy a greater sense of wellbeing. 

We make better choices when we do not have conflicting thoughts that can divide us, but complementary thoughts that provide us with the rewarding feeling of integrity. 

We can be aware of our thoughts and use artful reframing for coming up with a better approach. 

Instead of making a choice and somehow regretting it afterwards, we can make a choice that brings us true satisfaction.

Let us cherish the contentment that comes from being kind with ourselves, healthy, and aligned with our aspirations.
