Habit

Some of us like to live by our habits
Which keep us inside the boundaries of our cozy fit
Try to change them a little
And brain starts throwing fits
Identify the habit you want to change
Pay close attention to autopilot movements
Let go of repetitions, routines and triggers
Make conscious efforts to set a changed behavior
Ignore the brain one day to see what happens
Pleasant surprise is in order
Brand new side opens up
To try different tradition
Stepping out of comfort zone
Shows courage and open heart
Taking first step with awareness
Encourages new start
Let those neurons fire to form new networks
Which makes brain more alert and perkier
Just by changing one habit in your circle
And creating a new meaningful one that matters

Good one, Smita: It takes about a month to form a new habit and I agree it is good to be mindful and take corrective action. A wise little poem that more should see. Hugs, SuZ
