Fact is You’re Ruining Your Life with Bad Habits (Here’s How to Fix It)

Hi and welcome,

I didn’t take real action to change bad habits until I was 40 years old before that I would try and fail. It took me working on becoming a powerful christian single mom to finally understand that I was ruining my life with bad habits. It was when I became truly guided by the Holy Spirit, I was made aware of my wrong ways. It was like a miracle came into my life and relieved my burden.

Breaking Free from Destructive Patterns

Are you stuck in a cycle of bad habits, making excuses, and feeling like change is impossible? I’m speaking to myself and to anyone who can relate. Whether it’s poor health choices, financial irresponsibility, negative thinking, or destructive lifestyle habits, these patterns can take a serious toll on our lives. The good news? Change is possible through faith, action, and self-awareness.

What Happened? Understanding the Root of Bad Habits

Did you know that most of our habits were formed from childhood? We subconsciously adopt behaviors from our environment, often without realizing it. But is it too late to change? Absolutely not! With the strength of Jesus Christ, all things are possible. I am living proof—currently in the process of transforming my habits, and I want to share what’s working.

Identifying the Source of Bad Habits

Many of our struggles stem from deep-seated generational patterns—often referred to as generational curses. Without intervention, these habits get passed down from one generation to the next. The key to breaking these cycles lies in recognizing them, seeking God’s wisdom, and actively making changes.

My Journey: How Bad Habits Took Over My Life

Before I recognized the source of my struggles, my life was in chaos. As a single mom, I faced heartbreak, loss, and loneliness. I turned to drinking, smoking, and unhealthy habits to cope with my pain. I blamed others, feeling betrayed by those around me. It wasn’t until I realized that I had the power, through God, to rewrite my story that things began to change.
