“Replace a bad habit with a better one. Instead of trying to "break out of a habit", try to use the trigger or cue to initiate a different action. Find something better, healthier, to replace the habit. This will be a lot easier than trying to force yourself to do nothing when you feel very compelled to do something. Left unchecked this is why we often see one bad habit turning into another bad habit. Take charge by deciding ahead of time what you will replace with what. Keep track. Celebrate your victories. Strengthen and empower yourself. By repeatedly doing this over and over again you will weaken the association between the trigger/cue and the old habit. At the same time you will strengthen the association between the trigger/cue and the new habit. This is very important. Some people believe the solution is to try to avoid the trigger/cue, but avoidance does nothing to prepare you in the event you fall into that scenario accidentally. It's like preparing for the worst, not by being pessimistic, but by being proactive. The first step to change is believing it could be possible. The second is action. Inaction leads to chaos. It pays to be prepared. Believe you are strong! You are bigger than your problems and your fears.”

Akiroq Brost“See things in terms of Potential. Recognize:Your Amazing Potential.”
Akiroq Brost“You are not who you say you are but rather what you do. Look at what it is that you do. If you don't like what you see: decide what you would like to see instead. Make those changes. Realize your potential. Harness your power. Seize every opportunity and do what it is that allows you to be true to yourself. Don't deny yourself your path. Only YOU can decide! Only YOU have that power! Only YOU are living your life!”
Akiroq Brost“Taking the time to reflect on how you arrived at where you are today can have a massive impact on what your life will be like tomorrow.”
Akiroq Brost“Confront your fears. Find their root. Educate yourself. Reach out for help. Defeat your fears or they will defeat you. Never give up.”
Akiroq Brost“If you're struggling with problems or issues and you don't take the time to look after yourself, this will affect your ability to do well for others. Everything will suffer, your interactions, your relationships and the things you set out to do. It is necessary to take rest when you need it, to look after yourself, to keep yourself healthy, and to take some reprieve. Taking the best care of your health that you can is vital. There is no shame in looking after yourself! Being at the best you can be will allow you to give your best. It is not noble or loving to constantly sacrifice your well-being for that of others. People who love you would never want that from you. It hurts everyone involved.Take care of yourself first!”
Akiroq Brost“Don't apologize for doing what you thought was best. All you can ever do, is your best. Even if that doesn't work out, don't diminish your efforts. Don't diminish your intent. Don't apologize for being human. Don't take on guilt that isn't yours. We are all growing, learning and evolving. Take the lesson forward.”
Akiroq Brost“The gift of a new day brings with it hope and potential. It is up to you to seize it. Do you recognize what an incredible gift it is to be alive for another day? Another entire day! How will you spend it? What will you do? More importantly, what will your attitude be? How will you spend this gift? I hope you will use it wisely, with gratitude and joy in your heart. Use it to spread love and kindness, use it to make a difference, use it with joy! Carpe diem!”
Akiroq Brost“Don't let the opportunity pass you by. Act! Do something now. Some chances never come again. Seize the moment. Seize the day! Live to the fullest. Live to YOUR fullest potential.”
Akiroq Brost“We all encounter things that we can't perhaps change and that's OK because surely there are many other things that we can.”
