Removing Habits Is About Forgetting

Changing your habits is counter-intuitive.

 

It is not about being on day 856 of not engaging with this habit.

 

It is about connecting to something else so deeply that when someone happens to mention the habit you used to engage in, you think “Oh wow! I haven’t thought about that in ages, I almost forgot it existed.”

 

This is true emotional breakthrough.

 

Habit change is an emotional shift. It’s not about continuously playing rational chess in your mind.

 

This is what you should aim for when removing destructive habits.

Quote of the week

“I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavour” — Henry David Thoreau

Book of the month

One of the powerful ideas in The Way of the Superior Man is that a man finds strength and freedom when he commits fully to his deepest purpose instead of drifting through comfort and approval. It teaches that masculine energy thrives on direction, mission, and edge, and that without a clear aim, a man becomes reactive, distracted, and emotionally unstable. The book also speaks to showing up in relationships with grounded presence, emotional openness, and leadership rather than neediness or control. At its core, it is about living aligned with truth, embracing challenge as a path to growth, and choosing depth over mediocrity so that your work, love life, and inner world all reflect a man who is consciously committed to his highest path.
