The Habit Code is based on the Habit Cycle. This cycle is very similar to biorhythms. In biorythms you are governed by three cycles. The Intelectual, The Emotional and The Physical.
In Biorythms these cycles are based on when you were born and a number of days between cycles.
The Intellectual Cycle is 33 Days Long
The Physical Cycle is 23 Days Long
The Emotional Cycle is 28 Days Long
Now, the Habit Cycle is not dependent on a set point in time, doesn’t rely on a set cycle time and isn’t set in stone. It is you that decides on where your ‘levels’ are…or should I stress it is throught your ACTIONS that decide where the level is in each of the three parts of the CODE.
Your Mind, your BODY and your SOUL. These three parts can be named the same as in biorythms namely:
Body = Physical
Mind = Intellectual
Soul = Emotional
And because you can injure yourself in the blink of an eye, or you can get emotionally charged by some outside incident (i.e. seeing your wife give birth to your baby) these three levels are in constant flux and so the graph of the habit code looks more like this:

A new year, and a happy one I hope. If you’ve a new years resolution to stop a bad habit you should take note from the information that most people have broken their new years resolution withing the week. Yep, seven days and your back into your old ways. That’s because new years day is a fixed date and your Habit Code balance will not be in the correct orientation. It is YOU that must fix the date when you want to stop a bad habit or start a new one.
Until you’re balanced, attempting to stop a bad habit will be doomed to failure. I am starting to write a bunch of questions that will give you a habit code balance figure. This will then enable you to find the best time to stop a bad habit…Or start a new habit.
Best Wishes for the new year…It will be a good one.

Ok, so after a terrible few weeks personally it’s time to start to lay some foundations on the Habit Code philosophy. Things are starting to fall into some sort of a basis for what I feel are the underlying starting blocks of Personal Development no matter what your current level.
The Habit Code - Foundation.
Ok up to now the foundation of the habit code relies on the Human Psyche - namely Mind Body and Soul.
MIND - I refer to the Mind as the Conscious mind.
BODY - I refer to the Body as the physical being.
SOUL - I refer to the Soul as the Unconcscious mind.
It is this model of the Human Psyche that I am basing the rest of this philosophy on.

Just chasing a lead from Napoleon Hill, Hill’s publisher of his Law Of Success was Andrew Pelton. Pelton also published some self help books by Frank Channing Haddock. The Power Of Will was the one I was aiming at but I also looked to see if Haddock had printed many more books.
The Mastery of Self stood out not because of it’s large section on habits (as does The Power Of Will) but because of Haddock’s use of a Pyramid to show how the four areas of Success-Magnetism as Haddock puts it, fit together.
Here are the four pyramids and I’ll have to explain later what they all mean, but it’s interesting stuff…
THE FOUR PYRAMIDS.
I. Pyramid of Physical Health
Harmony
Exercise
Recreation
Air
Sleep
Water
Food
Regularity
Digestion
Cleanliness
Economy
Scientific Body-Building and Using.
II. Pyramid of Physical Magnetism.
Will
Muscular Development
Nervous Condition
Inner Energy
Responsiveness
Self Control
Staying Power
Health
Body-Tone
Personal Qualities
Physical Characteristics.
III. Pyramid of Moral Health.
Peace
Will
Righteousness
Love
Knowledge
Faith
Hope
Courage
Body-Health
Right Heredity
Right Environment
Right Training.
IV. Pyramid of Personal Magnetism.
Will
Alertness
Fidelity
Hope
Courage
Confidence
Honor
Thought
Faith in System
Physical
Basis: Health
Body-Magnetism.

I’ve just been re-reading Napoleon Hill’s Biography by Kirk Landers “A Lifetime of Riches” and it goes on about a certain state of mind that Andrew Carnegie used to call the concept of your ”other self”… a state of mind that can give you the capacity to change your habits when you are faced with a crisis or some other extremely emotional state of mind.
This is spooky because I was in this state of mind the day I stoped smoking. I could really feel that my subconcious was ready to stop the smoking habit and was giving me the sign to acknowledge it. I was very ill at the time and this combination allowed me to simply give up overnight.
This state of ‘Other Self’ does seem to crop up in a lot of successful peoples lives, it just might be one of the key ingredients of ‘The Habit Code’ we’ll just have to see.

Ok… so I’ve missed out a few steps in my quest to find The Habit Code, ( I never said I was organized), but I’ve just taken the next step…
Napoleon Hill in Law Of Success states the name of one Orison Swett Marden, Marden was a true Success Studier, He sought to identify the most common rules of leadership, achievement and success just as much as you and I study today.
One of Mardens outstanding works is supposed to be a book he wrote originally in 1894 but then extensively revised and added to, publishing the second version in 1911. The book was called Pushing To The Front. A huge book >800 pages going in depth into what Marden thought the traits of success were.
One interesting thing is that One of the chapters is called Habit - Master and Servant.
I can’t wait to get the book. And read this chapter.

Have you ever been so excited that your mind seems to be going quicker than the rest of your body and you start to miss or forget things…
Well yesterday I posted about two chapters of Napoleon Hill’s ‘Law Of Success’ having the word Habit in the title…Well, I was wrong. It’s Three chapters (well it is in this version)…
They are:
Volume I, Lesson Four :- The Habit Of Saving.
Volume III, Lesson Nine:- The Habit Of Doing More Than Paid For.
Volume IV, Lesson Seventeen:- The Universal Law Of Cosmic Habitforce.
My lack of mental ability was caused by the feelings I’m getting from having this book. I have not been able to sit down quietly and read it because I am finding myself jumping through it’s many pages and trying to absorb the nuggets of information I am finding. The whole thing is spine tingling exciting though because each nugget as I read, is re-enforcing my beliefs, and the reason for this blog (and book).

This is just a quick post to start this Blog…
The Habit Code
It all starts from the realisation that Habits are mentioned as the fundamental things you need to change if you’ve read any of the personal developments stuff and self help books that I have.
Habits play such an important part and it only occured to me after three years of study.
Read any self help book.. Success Book.. Personal development course or visit any seminar and you will notice that the term habit crops up way too often.
By changing a habit or should I say developing a new habit to replace or overwhelm the old habit, your life can change overnight.
This blog has been set up because I’m trying to write a book about the things I have learnt over the past three years, in particular, the last 6 months on how simply starting some key new habits in your life can make a dramatic effect.
Welcome along for the ride. I hope I trigger the spark inside of you that can make you a better person.
Thanks.
John 21st September 2006
