Where the focus goes, the energy flows People like James Clear ("Atomic Habits" book) help people kill old habits and create new ones. I have found that it is NOT HELPFUL to focus on changing/killing your bad habits/behaviors!!!! Instead, focus on a SMALL new habit. When our focus goes to a positive new habit/behavior, the old habit slowly atrophies because it is not getting the attention it once was. Have you had a similar experience? How has that been?
