My mum once told me that "life is a constant feedback loop" Sometimes things don't just work out the way we expected and with this call for change, I usually scrutinized myself and made any necessary changes and corrections, in my way of thinking and lifestyle etc.

Each winning streak means I am improving and moving closer to my goals. Over the years I've been working to develop and improve myself, and to improve the quality of my life. To reach these goals I've realized that there are certain habits I need to change and I'm still a work in progress!

We always have the opportunity to change because as it's rightly said "change is constant" so it's left for us to see the need to make changes and then taking the necessary steps and be determined to work on the bad habits we want to change.

I have 3 bad habits I'm currently working on, though I'm improving greatly but I'm still a work in progress because I'm yet to conquer them completely. These habits are:

1) Procrastination: I have this bad habit of delaying carrying out tasks until the last minute, and this is because I always feel that I have a whole lot of time, but before I know it I run out of time and I have to rush to carry out so many pile up task at a time and thus ending up stressing myself.

I'm an active procrastinator, sometimes I willfully delay tasks because working under pressure Makes me feel motivated and challenged, I usually feel that I work better under pressure and sometimes I delay one task in favour of working on others.

I know I need to change this habit because working under pressure normally stresses me, and I will end up having serious headaches when I'm done with the work, this habit resents my loved ones and friends because they will be calling me from time to time to find out if I'm done with a particular task and when I told them I will, they got angry and I don't like it.

2) Worrying about Things I Can't Control: I used to be anxious about things I don't have control over, the potential dangers in the future, and negative thoughts.

I know very well that this isn't helpful, it's like rumination, and it makes me feel awful, anxious and stressed. But I've worked greatly to improve on this aspect, I've learned to control my thoughts and emotions because we need self-control in all areas of life. I only fail occasionally and immediately I realised I used to changed my thoughts and set my mind on positive things.

3) Poor Sleeping Habit: This is my major fight, for now, my sleeping patterns have been disrupted and it's affecting me. As a nursing mother and a go-getter, it's not always easy, because I'll be busy all day and in the night my baby will disrupt my sleep, and I have no option because after The Almighty God her life is dependent on me. I normally wake up each time she cries and attends to her needs.

I'm working on this too, I normally seize the opportunity to have a nap in the afternoon and it relieves me. Very soon everything will be back to normal.

Changing these habits will affect me positively in every aspect of my life. I'm seeing good results already because I no longer have piled up tasks again, I even have extra time to recreate and enjoy myself, indeed making sure of the most important things are the best. My family and friends are no longer angry with me because I now deliver on time. Yes, it helps me to gain other people's trust.

I'm happier now and less anxious because I know how to control my thoughts, not worrying about things I can't control. I have a positive demeanour and have no room for negative vibes. But note I'm still a work in progress!

I believe that I should be working on my drawbacks before pointing to others' mistakes, yes leading by example, how can I tell someone to stop doing what I am still doing, that is hypocrisy, even God's word the bible admonished that we should first remove the rafter in our eyes, before trying to remove the straw in other people's eyes. Meaning we shouldn't be blind to our shortcomings but first of all work on them and conquer them before trying to correct someone else.

This is so true because people will likely listen to us when we lead a good lifestyle. But it will be hypocrisy of us if we tell them to stop what we are still doing.

I would like my friends @eliany, @ninapenda and @jozzie90 to join this contest.
