If stopping your bad habits is important to you then what your about to read may help you discover the key to habit elimination.
There is an arbitrary threshold at which the pain or destructiveness of doing something conflicts with the negative tendencies of any habit. It is this threshold point that The Habit Code is based around.
It’s as if the subconscious mind finally takes heed of all the bad press your negative habit has been sending it and finally says,
“OK, I hear what you’re saying, this habit has gone far enough”
The subconscious then acts as your ally to help break down the habit. You may crave the substance or the comfort a habit gives but with the subconscious now in a state of “habit breaking” it reigns in your normal tendencies and produces a force to be reckoned with.
What I’m talking about is normally called ‘Will Power’, but the Power of Will changes because of The Habit Code…
Let me try to explain.
Say that you are a cigarette smoker, your concious is very aware of the dangers of smoking and of all the negative sides of this habit. You’ve tried to stop before. You’ve tried several times using all of the nicotine therapy available. Every time deep down you’ve really known that you will be smoking again. You or should I say your conscious wanted to stop, but your subconscious was oblivious to the fact.
Blowing The Safety Valve.
If you’ve read any rags to riches story you may notice the defining moment that everything changes from absolute poverty to a change of belief and a complete positive switch to a different way of thinking. An Epiphany occurs that comes from the soul and if you were standing next to the person in the story you would be able to feel the change in their persona and aura. I hope you’re with me here, it’s a connection with the soul, or subconscious, that re-programs the individual, actually changes their whole outlook on life and the problems that they are facing.
It normally occurs when people are at their lowest ebb and whether Physically, Spiritually or mentally one of these three channels is at an incredible low point and the subconscious seems to get the message and allow for a spiritual connection.
I can remember it vividly, how mine occured when i no longer needed to smoke… I was in bed with an incredibly bad chest, drunk and feeling like absolute shit but I could feel some other part of my mental make up make the decision to stop smoking. From that point the subconscious mind took control and whereas before it would automatically help you to smoke, it was now saying the absolute opposite, “this person no longer smokes, put that cigarette down”.
I’ll try and get some examples of this Connection to the succonscious so that I can explain it better, and to how we can use hypnosis to create the same type of connection soon.

To carry on the Habit Code Trail, my connection with The Mind Body And Soul continues, I just connected these two links to Fasting and breaking habits. At the time of my original accomplishment of stopping smoking I was Ill and fasting, and so this could be one of the connections I need.

They both talk of a kind of spiritual high from fasting, as if there is a connection to the soul from fasting.

I was searching around the blogosphere and up came this great blog by Leo Babauta
His story begins where mine did, when he quit smoking. And the leverage he has got off that habit change is amazing.
He has a guest post on the site from Scott Young that deals with eliminating habits.
It’s a great post and you can read it here:

If you take an interest in Self Improvement then you will realize that it is a continuous process and success cannot be acheived through reading just one self help book.
One habit that Napoleon Hill discovered successful people practice was what he dubbed R2A2. To gain the benefits you:
Recognize - Recognize a principle, technique or improvement that will benefit you.
Relate - Relate the improvement to your beliefs, experience, business or life.
Assimilate - Assimilate the improvement into your daily routine.
Apply - Take action and make the Improvement a Habit.

Napoleon Hill’s Famous 17 Principles of Success…
If you do some research, and find out about his 17 Principles, what you are about to read may suprise you.
Hill didn’t seem to keep to the same 17 principles, In fact, from my research up till this point I’ve counted no less than 38 different Principles that he’s used throughout his books and publications.
There are a core number that Hill refers to in every publication I’ve read.
But the rest he seemed to pick sometimes calling it a different name, but meaning the same thing such as:
Pleasing Personality sometimes called Attractive Personality
or
Learning From Defeat sometimes called Profiting By Failure or Learning From Adversity and Defeat
Other times throwing in a completely new principle such as Positive Mental Attitude as he became acquainted with W. Clement Stone.
I’m still waiting for a couple more books to arrive before I publish all the different principles Hill came out with.
Let me know if you find any that are not in Hills more famous books Think and Grow Rich and The Law Of Success

“Success is a habit which can be acquired by the exercise of a moderate amount of intelligence, a great deal of hard work, and an unswerving sincerity of purpose.” - Major General Herbert Leonard Grills

Scott Young has a great series on his blog about mastering your habits.
I do not agree with the fact that he says quote
“Habits can’t be removed. They must be upgraded or replaced.”
Don’t think that’s true, I gave up smoking nearly 12 months ago. The technique was to contact my subconscious directly, and it’s not been replaced with anything, well, not consciously anyway!
Check out the link, you will find Scott’s series interesting…

Reading through one of Napoleon Hill’s books “How To Raise Your Own Salary” I come to a chapter about Learning From Defeat.
The Book is a breakdown of what was said between Hill and Carnegie during their meetings in 1908. In my search for confirming the link between Personal development, success and habit I am trying to link up as many connections as I can and here, in this book is one great big humdinger of a connection.
I quote…
Napoleon Hill: “From what you say about habits, I reach the conclusion that Success is a habit”
Andrew Carnegie: “Now you are getting the idea! Of course success is a habit”

“Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire; until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.” - Napoleon Hill.
Napoleon Hill. He knew the importance of Habit.
